OLAsCovittS CELEBRATION At the Glasgow Corporation meeting at which plans were made for cele- brating the Coronation, the Lord Pro- vost explained that'it Was proposed -0 carry out arrangements similar to what was followed at King Edward's Corona- tion . The idea was to give a diner to about 20,000 poor in the various parts of the city, that the children and their teachers should receive a medal, and toso that the children should have a day in the „Exhibition instead of the Children's Day in the parks. it would be quite in keeping with the usual cir- tennstances that the Corporation should possibly have a banquet, and that there should he a reception on some evening for a large number of citizens. it was not intended to go to a very large amount of extravagance'but they would require to celebratethe Corona- tion in keeping with the dignity of the City, • RECORD TilEATItil PitICES , • ' irrom Information furnished by the tlirecteee of the Royal Opera, Coven 0,arden, the prices to be eharged for the Coronation gala performance -range from 100 guineas (S625) for grand tier boxes to 1 guinea (about $6.25) for a single seat in the gallery.

No wonder that every Coronation has seen a fatnine in furs, for not only A4trachan lamb, but black fox.. sable, and, above all, ermine, are re- quired in immense quantities for the robes of those who are privileged to attend the Coronationservice in Westminster Abbey. • • For months past agents have been busy in Siberia and elsewhere buying Up ermine, and the price is already double the ordinarY. One. hundred - and twenty ermine skins are required . by each peer for his Coronation" cape d. ancollar. • Judging by the Coronation of the late King Edward VII., no other cere- monial causes such a boom in trade, and lots -of things besides furs are going, to become scarce ahd expensive, before Tune. • In 1902 seats were provided for 98,250f people in public stands, and the stands themselves cost $260.000. 'Every, hotel in London Will be full trona basement to attic, and lodgings Will be at a premium.

Certainly nothing will be proeurable under $60 a day. and the prices may run far beyond this. Ten years ago there was an abso- lute corner in bands. Certain inter- ested parties retained all the good bands, wed people who wanted music had to pay a pretty price. So, too, with fireworks. The de- mand -for Coronatioi . rockets was simply enormous. AII the Itirger towns spent on an aVerage $4,000 apiece on fireworks, and the private demand Was very large. It will be remembered' that there • were hun- dredof Coronation bonfires and at each. fifty rockets were sent up. The bonfires recall the feet • that tar -barrels were not to be had for love or money for some days before the last Coronation. They were al) absorbed bY early buyers.
