CEREMONIES DELAYED

London, Aug. 23,

An unfortunate accident to Her! Majesty the Queen marred the great day at Leeds to-day which celebrated opening of the new __Civic......_Hall__by His Majesty the}

King.

The new Civic Hall cost over; £400,000 to build and is one of the most magnificent' buildings of its) kind in all England.

Huge crowds greeted the Royal Procession on its way from the boundary of the city, where it was greeted by the Lord Mayor and Omcials, to the new Town Hall. The Procession included an escort of the Life Guards, who are rarely, seen outside London.

After the coremony. the de- parture of the Royal party from the Town Hall was delayed owing) to a plece of grit entering the Queen's eye and causing her con siderable pain.

She received treatment from Lord Moyniham, the eminent sur- geon, who was presont, but the latter part of the proceedings was delayed by noarly hour.- British Wireless.

The United States cruiser Indianapolis, one of the latest of America's warships, has been ordered to stand by to receive distress signals from the Madison. Two U.S. coastguard vessels are along- side the ship.

The Virginia coast has been désolated by the storm.

idea of the havoc wreaked and the number of casualties is unknown.

Early estimates, however, reveal that the damage runs into millions of dollars. In the city of Norfolk, Virginia, alone the damage is estimated at over $2,000,000.

Early reports suggest that Norfolk was worst hit by the hurricane, which was the worst in living ex- perience in the region and swept up the coast as far as Washington, where the streets were flooded and trees were uprooted in the vicinity of the White House.

In Norfolk, the reaport known as Virginia Beach and the suburb of Willoughby, are reported to have been completely wrecked.-Router.
