But of course the chief attraction was the Lord Mayor in the historic Cinderella-like coach, all gold and glass, drawn by six horses, and preceded by trumpeters. Within one could see the Lord Mayor, Sir Charles Batho, in his State robes sitting by the side of his chaplain. and opposite the Common Crier in a wig and the Sword Bearer in a fur cap. The Lord Mayor turned to look from one window to the other in acknowledgment of the ovation he received as the gold coach lumbered by, leaving a vision of two tall footmen in blue coats and plumed hats.

It is generally conceded that the Lord Mayor's banquet, at which there were nearly a thousand guests, was the most brilliant of any held in recent years. As in the past, the company included dis tinguished men of the fighting Ser- vices, the Diplomatie Body, the Law, the Church and the Civil Service, and they all came in the uniforms of their offices, accom- panied by their ladies. The racep ton presented a scene that would be hard to equal for splendour and the blending of old and new.

On a dais at the head of the hall stood the Lord Mayor wearing his robes of black and gold. He re-
