LONDON AIR-MAIL LETTER
Lady Carson's Devotion: Who Will Captain England: Two "Show Sundays": The King's Parish Churches: A Link With The Past: "A.J.B.'s" Private Secretary
(Special Air-Mail Service)
London, April 5.
I remember asking a distinguish.. ed judge a few years ago who was the finest advocate he had known at the Bar. He gave the palm to Carson without hesitation. especially as an advocate for the prosecution.
He said that he was iner than Lord Russell of Külowen because he was fairer and did not terrorise witnesses as Russell and many other strong advocates used to do Then he added appreciatively, "Nor did he try to bully the Bench, so as to leave an impression on the jury's mind that the judge had been hard on his client.”
LADY CARSON'S, DEVOTION No mention of Lord Carson at this time would be complete with out a reference to his wife, who Las nursed him devotedly during

his liess.

This is always a very anxious time. I know that one eminent "outsider" has patated the por- traits of M. Paul Kymans, the Belgian Foreign Minister, and Mr. AV.

NEW CUNARDER
THE KING'S PARISH CHURCHES
A minor revolution has been ac- complished in the church of St. Peter, Eaton-square. This week all pew rents have been abolished. and the great majority of new- holders, including the King, who lives in the parish, have promised to subscribe the equivalent of the former rentals.
The King is also a parishioner of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. There..he has a commodious box overlooking the sanctuary. He occupled it a few years ago at the bicentenary celebrations of the church.
A LINK WITH THE PAST
The condition of the. Comte de Caserte, the head of the former Royal house of Bourbon-Deux- Siciles, who is lying dangerously ill at Carines, is, I hear, occasion- ing grave anxiety. The Count is 93, and his life-time spans a gap between the present and a period which now seems infinitely remote.
His elder Francis IL, last monarch' of the

Neapolitan Bourbon "Kingdom of the Two Sicilies." His father was Ferdinand II "King Bomba," aqre govemmental- methods moved the youthful Mr. Gladstone indignantly to describe the Bour- bon régime as "the negatiön of God erected into a system of Gov-" ernment."

WHO WILL CAPTAIN ENGLAND? When the as yet unselected' Test 'team selectors meet, their first duty will be to find a successor to D. R. Jardine in the captaincy I imagine they will all regret that he himself has deprived them of a clear choice.
The claims of H. E. 8. Wyatt, captain of Warwickshire, are very considerable. He was vice-captain to Jardine in Australia, and he has twice captained England at the Oval-against the West Indies and against the Australians when they were last in this country. superseding Chapman in the fifth Test.
As the first Test match this year is not to be played until June 8, I regard it as possible that the Selection Committee will an- nounce the captain some weeks before the match.
In the selection of the team. one question overshadows all the fitness of Larwood. I hear that he is to undergo a test of his injured, foot on April 18, four days after
A speed of 28 knots, such as is pussessed by the Europa and Bremen. and is also estimated for the new French liner, Normandie, will secure this.
THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD
Yesterday's fine weather brought large crowds for the Changing of the Guard. There were many for- eigners among the spectators at Fluckingham Palace.
Some French people near me were thrilled by the pipers of the Scots Guards, and amused when the Grenadiers marched out to a Mozart arts, played in slow time to keep rhythm with the Guards'
