Credit To Santa Only. Kingston, Dec. 80.--(To the Editor): I regret that so much publicity has been given to the visit of Santa Claus to some of the children on Christmas eve--a visit which is not unusual 1 am sure--and if this year, the little man: "with = whiskers so white and nose like a cherry," ap- peared in person, to whom can credit belong but to Santa Claus himself. While it is true Mr. Williamson, Willie | Orr, Mr. Dunbar and assisted him as best we knew how, and the young ladies of the Bible class made stock. ings and filled them with candies and toys and members of the class and several outside contributed most gen- erously towards the 'undertaking, the fact remains that Santa was himself responsible and anything anyone else has done is not worthy of mention and was simply done in the spirit of the Christmas-tide.--~Yours truly, G.

Kingston had a snow storm yesterday, but the cars ran about the same as usual, the only delay being caused in the evening by a minor mis- hap at the Emily street switch.

E. Curtis. Nearly ail the mem- bers of her houschold, her attendants and servants, have been retired and pensioned off, and Parliament made a grant of $100,000 a year to give them annuities. Even her have been" turned out to grass 'and will never wear harness again. v Sands, Queen Victoria's old coach- man, who drove her for more than 40' years, 'and without whom she would not go out in a carriage, may be Seen daily upon the streets of Windsor, and if you can warm him up a little he will relate anecdotes of the late Queen by the hour. He is retired on a pension of §750 and has been "given a little cottage on the royal estates at Eton to live in. Sands never drove anybody but the Queen and was subject to her orders exclusively. For 40 years he has nyver mounted a box unless she was in the carriage, and it was probably true, tated, that she mever rode unless he held the reins. Although was in the habit of riding ho up to a few years bef her death, Even when she was of 75 years of age she frequently mounted the sad- dle with tha faithful Sands at her side, and rode slowly around the riding .hall at Windsor or among the paths upon the palace grounds. She considered, it the best form of exer- cise, building 150 by 75 feet in size, with a floor covered with tan bark. There all the horses belonging to the yoyal family are educated in a very severe .school. Most of them are bred in the royal stables at Hampton. They are broken with the greatest care, and are taught to behave themselves under all circumstances so that noth- ing frightens them. They are accus- tomed to having military bands und fifes playing around them, firecrack- ers and rockets shot off under their noses, and flags waved in their eyes, s0 that when they go out in pro- cessions, as they are required ' to do frequently, they will not be dis- turbed by the demonstrations. All the horses in the stables "are trained in a similar mamner, and Queen Victoria took a great persomal interest in that business. There is a little balcony inclosed with glass , overhanging the riding hall, in which she used to sit for hours watching the grooms train her horses and the little princes and princesses learn- ing to ride. Every member of the royal family is accustomed to the saddle, and the little children of the Prince of Wales, now only 4 or 5 years old, are required to take lessons from the riding ter twice a day. They have a pair ol pretty She! d ponies, dnd drive them in little®carts. Queen Victoria had a team of eight cream-colored ponies, beautiful little animals, almost as small as dogs, which now 'belong to Queen Alexandra, who drives them | tandem and is learning to drive them four-in-hamd, y While he is at Windsor the King of England never drives alter anything but grey horses, nor do other mem- bers of the royal family, and none but cream-colored horses are used on state occasions. The King has one black and three bay saddle horses, however, The Queen's saddle horses are bay and chestnut, and Princess Victoria, who is an accomplish horse woman, has a beautiful sorrel hunter named Conqueror, with a banged tail, which she repcatedly rides at hunts. Notwithstanding hi. ight the King is an excellent equestrian. Phil May asd the Conjurer. An amusing story is told of Fhil May and an English conjerer at the fair at Stratford-on-Avon. Phil was in the crowd which had gathaed to watch a very clever gentleman who was wrapping up soversigns and half crowns in pieces of paper and selling them for two shillings. The "sharp" had a.beautifnl flaco--such a face as Phil May loved to draw, So he sketched him furtivelyr. But the gentleman saw him anil made a speech forthwith. "If that there celebrated portrait painter with the tight breaches on will 'and up the picter the equally celebrated benefactor to 'oomanity wot is givin' away quids for coppers will reward 'im accordingly!" he shouted. Phil, with a twinkle in his eye, handed up the drawing. The conjur- or was delighted with the sketch and pinned it to the tailboard of his cart, With another preliminary speech he threw three sovereigns, thise half sovereigns and several half crowns into" a piece of paper, screwed it up and handed it to the artist. "You'll be president of the bloomin® R'yal academy some dye, young man)' sald he. "Here, catch!"
