But it is above ground that there have been the most evident changes; old landmarks in the form of well known buildings have disappeared and new roads have been made, entirely altering the appearance of certain areas of London.

Is Piccadilly, for instance, the new Ritz Hotel is rapidly approaching completion, standing on the sites formerly oconpied by the Walsingham House and the Bath Hotole. And England's Home of Mystery," so dear to children--and their grown-up friends-is now broken up, and Maskelyno and Cook's." if now "Maskelyne au Derarts," who, in new quarters at St. George's Hall in Langham Place, are still St. James's Hall as mysterions as ever. too,Jimmy's" is given over to the des. troyer: and as I write theo lines the halls that once saw the successes of wavy fainous siugers and musicians, and rushed with the lunghter which the dark minstrole of the Moore and Burge company aroked so often, are in the hands of housebreakers, who are prepar ing the site for yet another huge hotel, to ba called the Piccadilly."

Lyons, the well-known caterern, where the attractions of "no tips" and good music, besides excellent menus ut very moderate rates, have ensured its continued success.

THE AMERICA CUP.

The fact that the designer who has bear asked by Sir Thomas listen to model a new challenger for the American Cup has declined the commission, an the ground thy! the coudi- tions of the race giva British designors no elduco of success, ought to make the New York Yacht Clu consider somewhat its position, says the New York American. Tha American Cup race, while always a beautiful spectacle and an example of a very high type matter of fact, in of sport, fails as a noting the fiest condition of useful yacht rac- ing. Its conditious aro not fair, and its results accomplish nothing in the way of improving the type of neoful yachts or sailing vessels. The conditions are not fair bouges the cha 'lenger must cross the ocean under her own canvas. making it necessary tant she should possess a certain degraa of stability. The American yacht may be, and usually has been, a mere racing machine, se woely fit to go out of sight of land. The unfairness of such a costest is obrious. It has been commented on by the Froes of the country every year that the race

has hoon hold.

The experience of Mes. Annie Albany, of Taker Street, Wolhater, Jeppestown, Trans- vaal, though slightly different, is fally a con- vincing as that of Bir Olwage and Mrs, Palm.

White (Colonial), Ltd., corner of Princess and Diosal Streets, Port Elizabeth, C., proprietors in South Africa. of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, she says: "I suffered from indigestion for a number of years.

The average price at which the short or of 1903.04 was disposed of was 6 4-5d. a pound, and therefore as the crop was one of 10,125,000 bales, the price which it it realised was not £31,000,000, us ought to have baon the casa, but £137,000,000.
