QUEEN ALEXANDRA..

The walk, as an international competition, has been taken far more seriously this year than last, the training all round has been much keener, and, although the walkers themselves have for ob ous reasons kept their training sea as mul.. to themselves as possible, the interest of the public was worked up to the highest plich. Af the starting point near the 1 Dongfei bridge yesterday morning, a very large crowd assembled; at every corner point, even out in the distant parts, beyond Jessfield and Sicamel, there were interested knots of spectators, while the crowd at the finish was 30 great that the rails on both sides of the grass course, in front of the Race Club's enclosure, were doubly and trebly lined, the Grand Stand was thick with onlookers, and, excellent as the arrangements were for viewing the finish, late comers had to scramble for places. Many en- thusiasts followed the competitors from point to point, some in motors, others driving, many on harse br pony back, a few on foot, and the great majority on cycles. The roads parallel with the route, or cutting off corners, were gay with excited traffic; the whole of the Shanghai world; seemed in faci to be out of doors, enjoying a time. For the most part spectators showed a glorious morning and the exhilaration of the sportsmanlike carefuluess in keeping the course clear, but there were offenders, noticeably at the turning from Jessfield Road Into Brennan Road, where one walker was almost tripped- over by a cyrlist, and a restive pony was allow ed to back among the walkers and nearly did. fatal damage to the French team. The motors were less obtrusive this year, and the help in- directly accorded in the walkers by some of tore along the Brenan and Rubicon roads them was much appreciated, but of one which throwing up clouds of dust and sand, the com- petitors had not the most complimentary re- marks to make,

To-day Her most Gracious Majesty, Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and Empress of Indio, has attained the 6tat aninversary of her birth, which took place at Copenhagen on the 1st December, 1844. Sister of the Dowager Empress of Russia, the Duchess of Cum beland, and King George of Greece, the Princess Alexandra, daughter of the aged King Christian of Denmark, passed her youth much as any daughter of the upper middle classes in Europe do; for though of royal birth, the Kingdom over which ber father ruled was a poor one, and his Majesty's Civil List was not such as to enable him to support his kingly dignity. When in 1863 Princess Alexandia left the shores of Denmark to be. come the bride of, His present Majesty King Edward, then Prince of Wales, while the poo, ple regretted her, departure; they rejoiced at her happy marriage, which was a love match.
