Notes and Events.
The cheerful patience spectators had to exercise to witness the Jubilee procession can be gathered when it is stated that they had to be at St. Paul's Churchyard in carriages by 8.80 a.m. and on foot not later than 9-80 a.m., and the earliest time the procession could reach there was 12.80. The officer who headed the Jubilee prooession was Captain Oswald Ames of the 2nd Life Guards, who is the tallest man in the British Army. He was 'immediately followed by four of tha tallest troopers of his regiment All the wrappings were removed frcm the walls and furniture of everyone of the State apartments at Windsor prior to the Jubilee. The last time such an order was given was on the occasion of the visit of William 11. Every part of the Castle was to be available for the inspection of the royal guests and a privately printed souvenir of the bric-a-brac and artistic treasures were to have been presented to them. Mr Adams, a member of Norfolk Island, and who is descended from Adams, the ring-leader of the mutineers of the Bounty, has been educated at Sydney and is in London with the intention of studying medicine. Time effects some wonderful changes. Holloways Pills and Ointment are world-wide known — from advertising — and he wisely distributed his wealth by building two magnificent establishments for the poor. AW praise be to him. Another successful man of business— and as usual, a very large advertiser, Sir Blundell Maple, M.P., has erected at Harpenden, in Hertfordshire, a charming convalescent home for the temporarily invalided among the many hundreds of workers in the great house in Tottenham Court Road. Money well aimed, and well spent is never begrudged.
