THE CHIDREN'S JUBILEE.

A Happy Day in Hyde Park

SALAS DESCRIPTION OF THE FETE,

(fhom our special correspondent.)

London, June 24. The most successful of all the Jubilee fes. tivities so far has been the Children's Fete in Hyde Park. This is particularly satis factory because prognostications of disaste,, were numerous. The " Pall Mall Gazette," more especially, foretold endless misfor tunes* even going so far as to prophesy that when all was over, Mr Lawson would be classed with King Herod and other infant slaughterers. Still, other and more dispassionate judges averred it would be impossible,at such a time as the Jubilee, to engineer 30,000 little ones,living mostly at the East-End, to." and from Hyde Par!;. It therefore speaks volumes for the good management and organisation of the Committee that the whole , affair should have passed o(V without a hitch, and not a single' child been missing when, the final roll-call? wero run over. The following concluding extract from the account of the fete, written by.the veteran journalist, G. A. Sala, who was a prominent figure flitting here, there, and everywhere amongst the children throughout the day, will give you sonic conception of the scene :— But by this time, in the imuiortal words

of Homer, " they had put away from them the desire of eating and drinking,"' and the time for other pleasures was arrived. Like youthful giants refreshed the groups of boys and girls rose from the grass to tind a perfect embarrassment of fun and frolic awaiting them. They gathered in large audiences round the open-air theatres, and watched the fantoccini, which were' so comically life-like, except that the too candid sun would cast the shadow of the managers' hands upon the prosce nium. They clustered like swarming bees round the Punch and Judy shows, which were in full force of that deathless and delightfully immoral tragical-comedy on every side. They watched the learned pigs and dogs and goats go through their lessons with a more than Board School docility. They raced and romped and fought for the air- balls, which were sent dancing and glistening over their heads in wildly lavish profusion—some lloating far overhead in gaily-tinted coveys, some sailing tantalisingly close to the earth, but ever rising anew when nearly grasped. Then there were the Aunt Sallies—which were not merely attacked but demolished, smashed, pulverised, massacred by the shower of sticks which the enchanted boys hurled at their devoted heads. There was a kiss in the ring—the boys too shy to kiss just at first, but soon put up to that daring duty by the demure little damsels. There wero races, leap-frog, ball play, football, touch and cross, follow my leader, and all sorts of ether improvised pastimes, with dances whenever the music struck up, and peep-shows full of such surprising visions that the boys and girls who got their noses against the glasses could not and would not take them away until the boys and girls waiting behind, in delirious impatience at the descriptions ejaculated, pulled the first comers bodily away from their place of vantage. Does anybody dream that v">« about all in the way of amuse ment- ' /jl '! It was not even a half or a quarts. '• Oh dear, oh dear," a small Jiing in white mob-cap and yellow gloves from Archbishop Tenison's school was heard to sigh, V I wish it would never be night. I shan't be able to play at half the things here." And there,were, indeed, a thousand skipping-ropes served out of ■waggons, forty-two thousand separate prize to be scrambk-d for, and, beyond all, won derfully exciting " lucky-dip barrels," of which here is an oflicial list of the contents : Japanese balls, walking sticks, folding lans, pop guns, dressed dolls, china head dolls, Japanese figures, monkeys on sticks, fancy mounted money boxes, china head walk ing sticks, Japanese figures, Jubi lee Queen's portraits, Pan's pipes, _ toy butterflies; cornets, large boxes of paints, scholars' companions with pens, paper and blotter, &c., new drawing slates, boxes of coloured crayons, fancy French kaleidoscopes, fancy wood money boxes, carved animals, coloured bookcases, snakes, musical pears, whistle mallots, horse and carts, polished wood pencil cases, mechani cal walking figures, bird games, expanding figures, dolls in cradles, tin whistles, flageolets, tramcar whistles, fifteen puzzles, lotto games, Jubilee watches, pin-cushions, assorted boxes of toys, skipping-ropes, sailing boats, &c. Imagine these glories all shot out at once from the top of a fairy-firkin with saw-dust to veil and mystify them, and then imagine a horde of joyous lads and lasses plunging into the delicious debris and joyously fight ing for the mass of mixed treasures, covered with saw-dust, gladness and perspiration. But it could not be imagined ! One must behold a Board School class turned loose at barrels of boundless wealth like these before the feeble and unassisted fancy can rise to the shrieks of laughter, the tangled hair, the tumbled frocks and pinafores, the general frenzied glory and pleasure of the whole lawless proceeding. Thus wore off the golden afternoon, while tho balloon " Victoria" waved bigger and bigger in the rear, and the paper bags drifced wildly westward, and even the toughe&MibEed; of tl«BLJlittle Londoners began to show "signs at last of having had i almost enough of pleasure. At 5.15 p.m., however, the most thrilling moment of tho day was to arrive, for then they would see with their own eyes, and close at hand — the Queen—the Queen herself, coming to visit her metropolitan children, and to smile upon them and actually to pre sent one of the Memorial cups to one of their own number. They had feasted their small eyes on the Guardsmen, ftyt aiid horse; the grand olficers and soldiers posted all round on splendid chargers and in shining armour to guard their playground. They had beheld walk ing among them a most brilliant posse of fashionable people ; for, besides the duchesses, countetses, and highbred ladies acting inside the tents as general servants, there was tho following company outside and among the children : Mrs Gladstone and Mr \V. H. Gladstone, Duke and Duchess of Westminster, Earl and Countess Spencer, Earl of Derby, Marquis and Marchioness of Ormonde, MrH. W. Lawson, M.P., Maria, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, Duke of Portland, Marquis of Hartington, Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord and Lady Rothschild, Duke and Duchess of Abercorn, Sir Albert Sassoon, Sir Charles Warren, and many others. But soon Her Majesty herself was to be there, and all the children would see her face to face, when the Royal standard would go up to the flagstaff-head, and the Royal trumpeters would blow the signal for the " Old Hundredth " and "God Save the Queen." In preparation and antici pation of thiscrowning occurrence the Memo rial Cups were now deiivered, every " man- Jack " and every. " woman-Jill '\ of, the boys and girls getting the pretty souvenir—a glazed goblet, with two portraits of her Majesty"of a soft cream colour and graceful form. Then the distinguished persons gathered at the Committee Tent, the Guards' band struck up martial and patrio tic strains, and the columns of little ones drew up along the lino of the Royal route. At this juncture the great balloon soared aloffc in the air with thee voyagers it its car, sailing serenely away for Surrey, where it descended safely last evening. Soon after five o'clock members of the Royal family passed up Constitution Hill, and wore received with an amount of enthusiasm which left nothing to be desired; ■ Presently the glitter of the Queen's escort, a rolling thunder of cheers from the people, and shriller cries of joy from the long line of children, told that Her, Majesty ap proached. Picsponding to the 'plaudits, which were loud and continuous, the Queen graciously bowed from time to time as her carriage passed on. . Then followed a body of swarthy representatives of the Indian Army and the final escort of Guards.

Upon the Queen's appearance, in a dress of violet and black lace, and looking well, and highly pleased with the scene around her, Miss Lawson had the honour, of offering Her Majesty a splendid bouquet of the loveliest orchids wrapped round with a silvered satin holder, bearing the inscrip tion of the gateway—"Not Queen alone; but Mother, Queen, and Friend in one !" Other presentations followed, and then the Prince of Wales led to the Royal carriage a proud but trembling little maid of twelve years old, Florence Dunn by name, wearing many school medals and pos sessing a perfectly blameless record of at tendance and good conduct. In "her little hands the Queen graciously and sweetly placed the .cup, saying, "lam pleaded to give you this memorial of my Jubilee, dear child."

As soon as the,too happy and-too honoured girls .had received the cap, the Union Jack went up to the flagstaff under the Royal standard, and the bands struck up the first bar of the. Old Hundredth, in which the little voices joined. " God bless the Prince of Wales " was next played, and, last of all, " God save the Queen," and the Royal carriage rolled away towards Pad dington, on the way to Windsor,
