To enumerate the sights of London would require volumes, but the following facts will be of interest to visitors. The population is now over 6| millions, and the acreage 443,421. The Capital of Britain obtained its title early in the 4th century, and is the commercial centre of the empire. Macaulay had the reputation of having walked through every street of the London of his day; but if we consider the ever-growing size of the City, we cannot believe that any one else will ever do so : for far more people live in London already than in the whole of Denmark, Switzerland, or Scotland, and more than twice as many as in Norway. London is twice the size of Paris, and three times the size New York ; its streets would cover in length 3,000 miles ; but if we trust to old prophecies, London has still to double itself in circumference, for Mother Shipton says that "the day will come when High gate Hill shall be the middle of the town." FRANCO-BRITISH EXHIBITION. OLYMPIC GAMES AND INTERNATIONAL SPORTS. MAY to OCTOBER, 1908, A 1 SHEPHERD'S BUSH. By Cab from Charing Cross to Exhibition. By Tuba-frcm Charing Cross to Exhibitor.

It will contain dressing room accommodation for twenty-five nations, or for over 2,000 competitors, who are likely to represent the various nationalities competing. This Stadium covers a space of about 1,000 by 700 (eet, and contains a banked cycle track of two-and-three-quarter laps to the mile, and a running track three laps to the mile. Further along in the centre of one side and immediately opposite the Royal Box, as well as other special enclosures, there is a swimming tank 330 feet long, with a varying depth of from four feet to fourteen feet, in which the swimming and diving competitions will take place. The remainder of the inside of the tracks is turfed, and measures about 700 feet by 300 feet. This will be used for Football, Cricket, Lacrosse, Gymnastics, Archery, Hockey, Wrestling, and numerous other contests, also displays of Riding, Cavalry, Fire Rrigide, Life Saving and Ambulance.

PAUL'S CATHEDRAL is one of the great centres ot London to which every visitor turns, and is so mixed up with the comparatively modern history of the Metropolis that there is scarcely a schoolboy who does not know that the present St. Paul's was built by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire. After St. Peter's at Rome and the beautiful Cathedral of Milan it ranks as the third largest Christian Church. From the heights sur- rounding London, the Dome of St. Paul's is the most commanding building. The view from the Gallery above the Dome must, on clear days, to those who have travelled upwards so far, be a grand and far-reaching one. The illustrated newspapers have at times given views from it. The Ball and Cross form an imposing finish to the Dome.

The following brief notes on a few of London's Palace Hotels should aid in a selection : — The DYSART HOTEL, 21, Henrietta St., Cavendish Square, London, W., is situated in a quiet residential street in the very heart of the fashion- able shopping districts, and within a few minutes ot the Parks and Theatres. The proprietor of the Dysart, being an American, has endeavoured to combine the best features of English and American Hoiels. Visitors from the States may therefore rest assured that those little d^ tails which are so dear to them in their ow n counti y, and many of which are so universally overlooked in England, will never be found wanting at the Dysart. Tariff on application. The GRAND HOTEL is at the corner of the Strand and Northumberland Avenue. Its semi-circular facade gives full upon Trafalgar Square, affording one of the finest views in the city. Furnished throughout with the greatest luxury, its accommodations form a point at which the individual may live in perfect comfoit and contentment for four or five dollars a day, up to one of elegance which few besides a sovereign would think of taking advantage of. Its proprietors are the Gordon Hotel Company, Limited. The HOTEL VICTORIA is on the right-hand side of Northumberland Avenue, looking towards the river. In matter of view it is rather deficient, but there can be no doubt of its answering to all the require- ments of such clientele as would patronise, say, the Hoffman House in New York or the Palmer of Chicago. The Hotel Victoria smoking room is one of the greatest American rendezvous in London of an after- noon, always having a large representative gathering of artists, actors, journalists and men about town. Also owned by the Gordon Hotel Company. The HOTEL METROPOLE is at the S.W. corner of Northumberland Avenue (which is but a short street), having a very good outlook on the Thames. It is practically a companion hotel to the Grand, being owned by the same set of proprietors, although the management is different. The Metropole will compare favorably with the largest houses of either Europe or America. The SAVOY HOTEL is upon the Thames Embankment. It is one of the mo^t modern of London b : g hotels, and is the most popular among visitors from the Continent of Europe. The LANGHAM HOTEL is a well-known and patronised American resort at some distance from the other leading hotels, being situated in the Place of that name at the end of Regent Street, just north of Oxford Circus. It is much affected by ladies who desire to be near the We*t End shopping districts, in the heart of which it is situated. HOTEL BENTINCK, Margaret Street, W. This newly erected Private Hotel has been constructed from the deigns of an eminent London architect, and will be found to contain the latest improvements con- ducive to the c nvenience and comfort of visitors. Sanitation is perfect, comfortably furnished, and lighted entirely by Electricity. Bathrooms and Telephones on each floor, also Electric Passenger Lifts, spacious Drawing, Lounge, Smoking and Dining rooms, single and double Bedrooms and private suites of rooms. Situated one minute from Oxford Circus, in close proximity to Regent, Oxford, and Bond Street shops. Telephone : Central 10893. Tariff Cards on application. 54 MORLEY'S HOTEL isoneol the older houses, and in comparison with its neighbours one of the smaller ones ; but time was when it was t/u big hotel m Trafalgar Square! which it faces, looking west. In lerthe pro- prietorship of Messrs. Jai it is b th first-class and well liked. The HOTEL CECIL. Opened April, 1896. One of the very latest oi Londo.i's big hotels, A veritable palace. The reputation <>t the management has already secured the establishment a ' connection; the house has been well taken up, and is patronised by many smart people. CLARIDGE'S HOTEL, Brook Street, W. One of the most luxurious hotels in London. Largely used by Colonial visitors of important e and our own aristocracy. The COVENT GARDEN HOTEL is in Southampton Street, Strand, not far from the tamous market of that name. It is quiet, comfortable, and adapted for families, while its prices are not exorbitant. ROYAL PALACE HOTEL, Ken-ington, W. One of the most luxurious and beautifully situated Hotels in London, all modern improvements. High-class Cuisine and Fine Wines, etc. Electric light throughout. The CARLTON HOTEL, situate at corner of Hay market and Pall Mall, S.W., is one of London's finest hotels, close to all I , and other places of amusement. Capital Cuisine and Excellent Wines.

GEORGE'S HOTEL in Albemarle Street, is a pood old- fashioned house which has adopted all the modern conveniences. Much favored bv Continental Royalties. The NORFOLK HOTEL, Harrington Road, opposite the South Kensing- ton Station, is a well-appointed Suburban House, in which everything suggests quiet home comfort. BAILEY'S HOTEL, opposite Gloucester Road Station, South Kensington, is another of the same sort, much in favor among American visitors. COBURG HOTEL. Carlos Place, Grosvenor Square, W. GREAT CENTRAL HOTEL. This new and luxurious hotel, situate in the Marylebone Road at the Great Central Railway Terminus, is within easy reach of Club and Medico-land, the fashionable centre of the West End, and principal places of amusement.

Seats at the Table on a Steamer are assigned by the Saloon or Second Steward, and in order to obtain good locations passengers should make application to that officer at the earliest possible moment after embarking-. Steamer Chairs are located on deck by the Deck Steward, and the position once assigned is held during the voyage. Passen- gers should therefore immediately call upon the officer named to assign them such position as they may desire. It is usual tO allOW the Table Steward and the Bedroom Steward a gratuity of about $2.50 each, and the Deck and Bath- room and Smokeroom Stewards a fee according to the services rendered. The maximum allowance of Free Baggage carried in Baggage Cars on European and Eastern Railroads, is as follows :— Austria, none Holland, none Belgium, none Italy, none Denmark, 55 lbs. Norway, 55 lbs. Egypt, none Russia, 55 lbs. England, Ireland & Scot- Spain, 66 lbs. land, practically unlimited Sweden, 55 lbs. France, 66 lbs. Switzerland, none Germany, North, 55 lbs. Turkey, 66 lbs. Germany, South, none As any excess over these weights will be charged for by European Railways, the traveller will often find it cheaper to forward Trunks and Heavy Baggage by American Express Company, or to store same at its offices in tie principal cities of Europe, to be forwarded when required. BICYCLING TOURS. Those intending to make bicycling tours in Europe will find many advantages in joining either the " Cyclists' Touring Club" in England (Chief Office, 47, Victoria Street, Westminster, London), or the " Touring Club de France " (5, Rue Coq-Heron, Paris). Tourists entering France with a Cycle must provide them- selves with a license (permis de Circulation), which will be delivered them by the officers of Customs after payment of 60 centimes stamp duty. This permit is available during three consecutive months, and must be carried upon the person. After three months has elapsed, a tax must be paid and a badge attached to bicycle. CUSTOMS DUTIES IN EUROPE. In Great Britain, few articles are subjet t to duty — per- fumery, liquors, tobacco and cigars being the principal item- - only half-pound of tobacco being admitted free. American reprints 61 of works copyrighted in Great Britain, also firearms, are liable to confiscation. In France, tobacco, wines and liquors are subject to duty. The importation of matches is strictly prohibited, and they are liable to confiscation, as is also tobacco. NOTICE TO PASSENGERS. Passengers will, on landing at Liverpool or Queenstown, be asked by the Customs Officials whether they have any of the following articles which are liable to duty or detention — Tobacco, Cigars, Cigarettes, Snuff, Scents, Wines, Spirits of any sort, Extracts of Tea, Coffee, Chicory, or Plate. The smallest quantities ot any of the articles must be produced. There are no duties on Gold and Silver Plate, but Gold and Silver Plate articles must be declared. Reprints of any registered Copyright Works or Music are also prohibited. A person detected in smuggling is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, in default of pa3 r ment of a fine of treble the duty-paid value of the goods, or ^"ico ($500). Passengers are specially cautioned against offering gratuities or promising money or other reward to an officer of Customs under any circumstances whatever in connection with the execution of his duty. Persons bribing or attempting to bribe, are liable to a penalty of ^200 ($1,000), and in all cases of discovery, prosecutions invariably follow. The offending Officer is severely punished, and liable to dismissal. Docks. London has most Extensive Dock Accommodation. ST. KATHERINE'S DOCKS. Near the Tower. Nearest railway station, Leman Street.

WHY AMERICAN LADIES SHOULD SHOP in LONDON and FREE-TRADE ENGLAND. D. H. EVANS & GO'S STORE In IvOndon, is to American Visitors what Waknamaker's, of New York, or Marshall Field's, of Chicago is to them when at home in the States. American L^adies will find it greatly to their advantage and cheaper to . §bob in yree^rade England. Rather than High-Protection France. The fact that the English Language is the Mother Tongue of the American Nation, obviates the great dis- advantage OF HAVING TO DO YOUR SHOPPING WITH THE CONFUSING AID OF AN INTERPRETER. THE PRICES OF ALL GOODS IN OUR STORE ARE QUOTED IN BOTH AMERICAN AND ENGLISH MONEY. D. H.
