QUEEN MOTHER WAYLAID.
BY YOUTHFUL ROSE-SELLER. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright! Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, June 25. A two-year-old rose-seller waylaid Queen Alexandra's carriage, and the Queen Mother alighted and bought some hunches.
The Prince of Wales and Prince Albert paid half a sovereign each for a bunch. The rose-sellers penetrated Downing Street, and interrupted the Cabinet meeting, pinning roses in the buttonholes of the Ministers. The New Zealanders accepted Mrs Asquith's hospitality in Downing Street. Girls greeted the Old Bailey, and sold 100 roses to counsel and the reporters. The rose-takings exceed £45,000. NEW ZEALAND CONTINGENT. London, June 25. The New Zealand contingent who on Alexandra Day took part in the rose-selling, included Lady Seafield, Lady Mills, Mesdames Wroughton, Alington, and Miss Mills.
