HE papers have given accounts of the Eng- D lish preparations for the coronation of Edward VII.; of the tiara that Queen Alexandra will wear, of the one that Mrs. Bradley Martin has ordered, and many others, but of the dis- tinctive American preparations it has remained for Jupce to give the first account. American . life will be ade- quately represented in all its wonderful diversity, representative men from all typical walks of life being chosen. American commercial interests will be represented by Russell Sage and Dr. Munyon. Mr. Sage, as the emissary of Wall street, will go as a jolly-good-fellow and typify gentlemanly conviviality. His robe will be of rich burlap, lined with genuine Baxter- street wool, and will cover most gorgeous undergarments consisting of tights spangled with coppers and a coat of costly canvas with richly hand-embroidered “L" cars in fleur-de-lis pattern. In one hand Mr. Sage will carry a penny bank and in the other a box for larger donations. His tarara will be even more gorgeous, beautiful, and costly than any yet described. Doctor Munyon will wear a grim look, and a magnificent plush robe of variegated colors adorned with appropriate mottoes. One hand will be raised dignifiedly, and in the other he will carry a box of pills to cure the London fog. His tarara will be even more gorgeous, beautiful, and costly than any yet described. Richard Croker and Senator Hoar have been chosen as representatives of American civic interests. Baron Croker will appear in the first part of the coronation as an English gentleman and lord of a manor, wearing an appropriate medieval costume, but by King Edward's special orders the coronation pro- ceedings will be stopped to allow Hon. Richard M. Croker to change his costume and represent American civic interests; apartments in the bank of England have been especially set aside to allow of this change. Mr. Croker will wear a tarara even more gorgeous, beautiful, and costly than any yet described. Mr. Hoar, his companion, will wear a simple haio.

Mr. Bok will be perfectly lovely in a robe of his own designing, the patterns of which will be published in the Ladies’ Home Journal. Following these will be a personage representing all that has gone before, and most that comes after. He represents at once American commercial interests, American literature, and the American drama—the redoubtable Major Pond. Mr. Pond will wear a linen duster and a silk hat. In one hand he will carry agreen umbrella, and in the other a prospectus of King Edward's American lecture tour. His tarara, which he will carry under his arm, will be even more gorgeous, beautiful, and costly than any yet described.
