A A single carriage, occupied by the sovereign and attended by two royal equerries, was driven to and from St. James Palace. There was no military escort and the only decoration which the monarch wore was the Order of the Garter. In fact. the lord mayor and the city aldermen furnished the most spectacular clement, was of the signing the ceremony, proclamation While the his young Prince of Wales stood on a temporary scaffolding behind the wall at Marlborough House and eagerly watched such of the proceedings as came into his view.

Proclamation by Heralds Postponed Till Monday. Owing to the late hour at which the formalities were completed by the Urivy Council a and impossibility of distributing the proclamation to the various renters in time to permit simultaneous proclaiming ceremonies, the proclaration of King George's ascension by heralds and pursuivants was postponed until Monday. In addressing the Privy Council King Georrge said that his emotion was too deep to permit him to say more than a few words. He recalled the declaration by fatheron the simiar occasion to the effect that SO long as there vas breath in his body he would strive to promote the best interests of his people. The new monarch declared that his father's promise had been amply fulfilled and that it would be his earnest endeavor.

He referred gratefully to the evidences deep sympathy from all parts of the of empire and said that he was thankful to feel that at all times he would have the assistance of the queen in the discharge of the duties of his office. His majesty declared that he would, to the best of his ability, strive to fully maintain the constitution. Pneumonia Followed Bronchial Attack. King Edward succumbed to pneumonia which followed a bronchial attack.

The grief of the Dowager Queen at the death of her royal husband is pathetic. Since early morning she has been in and out of death chamber, directing everything, personally placing the wealth flowers that have been received, and givher directions with stately dignity, but at the same time she is inconsolable. She cannot be persuaded to remain in her own room to take the rest of which she is so much in need. The funeral arrangements are not yet announced, but the expectation of circles is that the body of his majesty will be buried at Frogmore, near by where are interred the bodies of his father, mother and son. The burial probably will be delayed for ten days to allow time for the arrival of foreign deputations.

Toward noon the members of the royal family began to arrive at Buckingham Palace. King George, who had been occupied throughout the morning with affairs of state, arrived at luncheon time in company with Queen Mary. Throughout the morning there was a constant stream of callers, including the members of the diplomatic corps. Several wreaths from personal friends of King Edward were sent up to the death chamber. Before the palace was a great crowd watching those coming and going until a sharp thunder and snowstorm drove to cover all but a few stragglers, who remained to see the changing of the guard, which ceremony was effected to-day with.

Special Service at St. Paul's. A special service in memory of King Edward was held at St. Paul's this afternoon and was almost national in character, despite the hurried preparations. The Lord Mayor of the Corporation of London attended in state, while all the departments of state, the navy and the army were fully represented.

High offeials in all ranks of society were in the congregation. The service was that used upon the occasion of Queen death. As the day progressed the sentiment expressed in the familiar phrase, "The king is dead; long live the king," seemed to influence the street crowd, and early in the afternoon thousands who had remained for hours within the vicinity of Buckingham Palace shifted to the streets adjoining St. James Palace. From Chen on popular interest from the standpoint of the street centered in the anticipated arrival of King George and the privy councillors and the ceremony of proclamation giving to the empire a new king.

their King sons, George, Prince Queen Mary and two of Edward and Prince Albert, the former of whom is soon to be the Prince of Wales, spent an hour at Buckingham Palace, They are the only members of the family who have yet seen Alexandra. All other callers of the royal family had been received by the Princess Victoria. It is announced that the court will move to Windsor Castle next Tuesday, Both Houses of Parliament assembled this afternoon in accordance with the ancient statute providing that they shall meet on the demise of the sovereign. The session of the House of Commons was purely formal and lasted only a few minutes. Neither the speaker nor the deputy chairman is now in England, and Home Secretary Churchiil, briefly stating that the House had been summoned in pursuance of the statute of Queen Anne, moved an adjournment, which was taken.

Only a score of members were present. Lords Take Oath of Allegiance to New King. In the House of Lords. Lord Loreburn. lord high chancellor.

David Wolffsohn, chairman of the International Zionist Committee, is visiting here, telegraphed this messazen King George on behalf of his co-religionists: "It is with the deepest regret that I learn of the passing away of King Edward. In the name of the greatest representative organization of Jewish people I beg to offer our sincere sympathy and condolence. "The Jewish people never will forget that it was under the beneficent reign of your illustrious father that the offer of territory for an automomous colony under British protection was made, as an act of recognition that will ever be gatefully enshrined in the annals of our history." Tolling of St.

Paul's Cathedral Bell. The tolling of the great bell in St. Paul's Cathedral at minute intervals beoffice performed only for the sovereign tween 5 and 6 o'clock this morning, and the archbishops of Canterbury and York, conveyed to countless thosands of Londoners and suburbanites the first intimation of the death of King Edward VII. Great crowds coming into the city on carly trains proceeded toward Buckingham Palace and by 9 o'clock an immense stream of of of of of of of of of of people was slowly filing past the front of the building, with its drawn blinds, round to the west end of palace, to gaze upon the windows of the chamber where the body of the dead King was lying. On the bulletin board was still pinned the sheet of foolscap with its tidings of the momentous event scrawled hurriedly in a dozen words, and this was another center of interest for the throng, each of whom seemed determined to read with bis own eyes the official announcement.

Over the palace the royal standard was half masted, but except for this and the frequent coming and going of officials and attendants at the palace, there was little outward evidence of the passing away of the king. Members of the royal household attended a special service in the private chapel of the palace at an early hour.

The four English rulers who have born the name of George before the present King are not antecedents of a character to give him inspiration.

Thackeray, in his history of "The Four Georges," arraigns them as mercilessly as though he were a French historian who using this means of venting a patrotiotic prejudice. All four were more or less stupid and stubborn, and being obliged to assume a task which they did not covet, and to rule a people which they did not like theirs was not an easy lot. George was the first Hanoverian King of Great Britain and Ireland, ruled from 1714 to 1727. When his mother became Queen Anne of England by the Act of Settlement of 1701, he was a dessolute officer in the Hanoverian army where he bad made a reputation as a brave soldier and an indiscriminate lover of women. When he came to the throne he at once antagonized a large part of his people by calling only Whigs to assist him in the government.

He could not speak English, knew nothing of the English character, and only seemed bent on exploiting his office for the profit of his electorate in Hanover. There he spent much of his time, leaving his ministers to govern. the king's absence, Walpole, last prime minister, was able to largely in1 crease his personal power. The suppression of the Jacobite insurrection in 1715, the bursting of the South Sea Bubble, which was largely laid at the king's door, and a brief war with Spain are the chief events of his reign. The best thing George I did was what he didn't do, enablin ghis ministers to build up a wise foreign policy.

He had two legitimate children and an uncounted number that were not legitimate. His son succeeded him to the throne as George II, and reigned from 1727 to 1760. His code of morals was on the low level of his father's, but he had the good fortune to marry a woman who, unlike his mother, did not divorce her husband, but condoned his infidelities and thereby gained a great influence over him. He had quarreled much with his father, and upon coming to the throne was only induced by his wife's persuasions to retain Walpole, his father's prime minister, who carried out his profitable peace policy until 1742, when his unwillingness 'to declare war with Spain led to his resignation. He allied with Maria Theresa and in 1743 took part personally in the Silesian wars.

Later England joined Prussia in the Seven Years War, which brought about the downfall of the colonial power of France. The laying of the foundations of the Indian Empire and Wolfe's victory at Quebec are other portant events of his reign. Pitt presided over the nation's destinies in the last years of George Il's reign, and the king was wise encugh to leave matters to that statesman. George III is most interesting to Amer. icans, because his reign covers the period of the American Revolution.

The picture which Thackery drew of him in "The Four Georges" is worth quoting as being fairly typical of each of the four kings who have borne this name. "He is said not to have cared for Shakspeare ar tragedy much; farces and pantomimes were his joy; and especially when a clown swallowed a carrot or a string of sausages, he would laugh so outrageously that the lovely princess by his side would have to say, 'My gracious monarch, do compose 'George, be a were the words which she his motherwas ever croaking in the ears of her son, A king. the simple, stubborn, affectionate, bigoted man tried to be. He did his best: he worked according to his lights; what virtues he knew be tried to practice: what knowledge he could master he strove to acquire." He was often called Farmer George and "The royal button maker." Unlike his predecessors he wanted 10 rule himselt and objected to having his ministers act for him. He organized a party of his own and by the use of patronage managed to break up the Whig oligarchy, a proceeding which met with support from the country at large.

Lord North, who was his minister from 1770 to 1782, agreed with iKng George's ideas and put his monarch's suggestions into practice. so that during this period George Ill's rule was absolute. He vas in favor of the long and ruinous war with France which England began in the last decade of the eighteenth century, and opposed Catholic emancipation. In 1765 and in 1788 he for short. periods became mentally deranged and in 1811 he became hopelessly insane, having been blind for two years previous.

George IV. his son, became regent in 181, and succeeded to the kingship upon his father's death in 1890. He was born in St. James palace, August 12, 1762, a century before the birth of George V. and became Prince of Wales when five days old.

He married a Mrs. Fitzherbert in 1785, but allowed Fox to deny the marriage in Parliament in order to obtain financial assistance at A time when he was hard-pressed by his numerous creditors. in 1795 he tried to better his fortunes by marrying his cousin. Caroline of Brunswick. Shortly after a daughter was born George deserted his wife.

He was known sometimes as "the Arst gentleman of on account of his gracious manners and courtly deportment. But the English public knew that this was only varnish, and at heart he was a worthless profligate, who carried the curse of his inheritance.

NOT REGARDED AS FORCIBLE. Has Few Strong Likes, but Is Retiring and Kindly in Disposition. Visited Canada in 1908.

London, May 7-England's greatest concern to-day is. of course, with its new king. Since 1892, when his brother's death made him heir apparent, George Frederick Ernest Albert, now we King George has been preparing himself for the throne in the unostentatious, onstrative manner which, throughout his forty-five years of life, has been his chief characteristic. His father's death takes him from the obscurity of his modest three-story home, Marlborough House, into the ive splendor of Buckingham Palace, with its extensive gardens and its portentious duties. America, which saw him at comparative short range he visited Canada during the tercentenary; the navy, which he has loved and which has known him as the "Sailor Prince," and the English public, which occasionally saw him on rounds of public hospitals, in the slums and at charitable bazaars, have no delusions concerning the man.

They know him as inclined to be somewhat shy, to be anything but effusive, and to be studious, retiring, and of kind heart. But they know, too, that during the national sports, of which "Hinge Edward wag an enthusiastic patron, not be so frequently graced by the royal presence; that he will rarely, if ever, ride to. hounds, and there is a well -based fe.9 that there will be a modification of the functions at court, which, during the life of King Edward, were always splendid and imposing. England's new king has laughed but little in his lifetime, and his ways have been colorless. His past has been blameless; he has been a good father, raised a numerous family and his loyalty to his country's cause is typifled by his mild acquiescence when it became necessary, for reasons of state, for him to relinquish his love for the daughter of Admiral Seymour and marry the Princess May, who was bethrothed to his brother until the latter's death.

King George was born in Marlborough House, on June 3, 1865, seventeen minths after the birth of his elder brother, the late DuDke of Clarence. He and his brother entered the navy together as cadets, and he spent two years on the Brittania. Then he started on a threeyear voyage around the world, sailing on the Bacchante. Became Heir Apparent in 1892 Through Death of Brother. The Duke of Clarence died in 1892, and George Frederick Ernest Albert became the heir apparent.

He tookk his seat in the House of Lords as as Duke of York, and in May, 1893, his engagement to Miss Seymour having been broken off, his bethrothal to Princess Victoria May of Teck was announced, the marriage taking place on July 6, 18939. Six children have been born to them: Edward Albert, Albert Frederick, Victoria Alexandra, Henry Williams, George Edward and John Charles. The Prince became Duke of Cornwall when his father took the throne, and soon after started on a tour of the colonies. He opened the first Parliament of he was entertained by the London corthe Commonwealth of Australia. In celebration of his safe return from a the tour poration at.

Guildhall on December 5, 1901, on which occasion he delivered his well-known advice to England to "wake up." In the fall of 1905 he went to India and when he 1 returned there was another celebration. On this aston he said that "the task of governning India will be made easier if we on our part infuse into it a wider element of sympathy." His Indian trip was generally regarded a's unsuccessful from a political viewpoint. Visited Canada in 1908 to Attend Tercentenary. In 1908 he visited Canada to attend the celebration at Quebec. and op that occasion met Vice President Fairbanks.

In the years the British public has had to study George they found him inclined to be somewhat more blunt than his father. somewhat less able to express himself in the facile language which stamped King Edward as a diplomat of the Arst water. and with a distinct aversion to "red The new King, for instance. has always preferred a private carriage to a royal equippage. and he has often evidenced a desire to curtail state functions.

His greatest passions and his decided preferences have appeared to be few. have been the collection of stamps and the navy. Of the first he is said to possess the finest collection in the world. their value being placed at $500.000. AB for the second, it is belleved certain that he will try to keep England in the forefront of naval powers as the possessor of the finest and largest fleet in the world.

The new king's tendencies are antiGerman, whereas those of his father were directly opposite. This fact will tend to endear him to the British public in view of the Kaiser's recent naval policy. Moreover, King George has none of the German accent of speech which characterized the late monarch's convergation. This, too. is somewhat pleasing to the loyal British mind.

New King Noted for His Charity. The new King's charitable efforts in the slum districts, where he was frequently accompanied by the Princess, now Queen; his love of children, which caused him to give the sanction of his influence to many reforms in the building of homes for workingmen; his philanthropies in the unhealthy East End of London, which resulted in a material improvement of living conditions there; his scholarly attainments, his proficiency with a rife, and his warm-heartedness, are other points distinctly in his favor. His aversion to the "robust" sports of which King Edward was SO fond, his lack of "style," and the absence of a fine instinct of diplomacy are counted against him. But it is universally admitted that his lite has been unmarked by such colorful incidents as distinguished that of his father, and if he has not been demonstrative, he has, at least, been at all times all that a country gentleman of a British turn of mind ought to be. Many stories are told of King George's service in the navy.

One has to do with a "spanking" his undaunted fellow cadets administered to the royal person because he struck one of them. England also remembers its recent consternation when a report was 'circulated that some of his friends had tatooed the nose of the future King of England. Britons everywbere were gravely concerned until the tale was officially investigated and found untrue. Georgie's greatest regret was when he was compelled to leave the navy. He always prided himself on being a sailor and he said he knew of no greater honor.

In ordinary attire he has always had the appearance of a typical naval commander, and his close cropped beard, his rather kindly, homely face added to the impression. The present king has never been an imposing figure when in ordinary dress and he was not of the sort whom anyone would pick out of a crowd as being royal. Is a Good Shot and Fond of Golf. In spite of his rather quiet tastes, King George has proven his ability at the hardier pastimes when occasion demanded. Recently he stilled criticism of his 'effeminate tastes" by proving himself hone of the best shots in the country.

and he held his own with the best in You Are Cordially Invited TO ATTEND LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BICKNELL YOUNG, C.S.B., OF LONDON, ENGLAND At Carnegie Hall, SUNDAY, MAY 8, 3:30 P.M. and 8 P.M.

and he has kpt in close touch with literary affairs. In his early life, if the following anecdote is to be believed, he was of a humorous turn of mind. The recent queen had occasion to reprimand him for his behavior at dinner, and she ordered him, then a very small youngster, under the table. He obediently did as ordered, but when the Queen called him forth, thinking him sufficiently punished, he gave her a severe shock by appearing entirely nude. He had taken off his clothes while under the table and piled them neatly upon the floor.

THE PRINCE'S VISIT TO AMERICA IN 1860 Late King Was Feted in Many Cities of the United States. In October, 1860, as Prince of Wales, the dead monarch visited the United States, and his visit created a tremendous I sensation, it being looked upon as a sign that the bonds of friendship between the two nations were being more rigidly cemented. The reception accorded him in New York was enthusiastic in the extreme. From sunrise on the morning of October 11 until late in the atfernoon Broadway, from the Battery up to the Metropolitan Hotel, was crowded with a forging mass jot people gathered from all parts of the city, from Brooklyn and from many points in the suburbs. Those were the days of the hoopskirt, and old-timers recall with many a laugh the embarrassment and inconvenience suffered by the women in the great crush, when thousands of the "extenders" were ruined, and the dresses of the women hung limp from their waists.

Among the organizations ordered act as escort to the Prince was the Fourteenth Regiment of City Grenadiers of Brooklyn. The men were notified to be at the Battery at 1 o'clock, and, as they were thrifty in those days, few of them took the whole day off, but attended to their regular duties until noon, working all the morning in their uniforms. Old Eagle Employe Was Member of Troop That Acted as Prince's Escort. W. H.

Sutton, who was employed in The Eagle composing room at the time, and who is still a member of The Eagle staff, was a member of the Fourteenth, and told this morning of how he put on his uniform early in the morning and worked until it was time to cr033 the Fulton ferry to join his comrades. "I shall never forget it." said Mr. Sutton. "We had our hands full helping to keen back the crowds at the Battery, and it was getting worse all the time, as the boat. carrying the prince was two hours late.

It finally arrived, and amid the cheers of the vast crowd the prince rode up Broadway to the Metropolitan Hotel with our regiment in the escort. It was one continual ovation all along the line, and the prince made a great impression by his genial manner of bowing to the right and left as he passed." Mr. Sutton, who was born in 1830, remembered distinctly the celebration heid in Liverpool when Queen Victoria WAS crowned in 1837, and also the illuminations in Ireland when she was married in 1840. He has in his possession two letfrom King Edward on matters relating to Masonry. 500,000 People Greeted Prince on According to the papers of the time.

there were at least 500.000 people massed on Broadway to greet the Prince of Wales. The revenue cutter Harriet Lane was sent to Amboy to take him on board. The boat was greeted with salutes as she passed up the bay, and at 2:30 the distinguished guest arrived at the water gate especially erected in front of Castle Garden. Prince's suite were Lord Lyons and the Duke of Newcastle. He was dressed in a frock coat of blue, with gray trousers, and a "choker" collar, and wore a remarkable top hat.

with a flat brim of the most extreme French style. There was nothing in his appearance to distinguish him from any one of a hundred other young men, dressed in somewhat similar style. The committee of reception which met the Prince consisted af Messrs. Hamilton Fish, chairman; John A. King, Augustus Schell.

collector of the port; Luther Brasish. Cyrus W. Field, Peletiah Perit. Robert V. Minturn, M.

B. Field, secretary of the committee; J. J. Cisco, John Jay, B. D.

Selliman and George D. Strang. Besides the committee there were Lieutenant General Scott, Peter Cooper, chairman of the general committee; William B. Astor, John Jacob Astor, Royal Phelps, Judge Roosevelt. United States district attorney; Henry Grinnell, John Cochrane, William L.

Yancey, George J. Lee, Edwin Croswell, Charles O'Connor, Charles Stetson, J. J. Hoey and Sidney Webster. At the Metropolitan Hotel, where the reception was held, the Prince shook hands with hundreds of New York's leading citizens, while the crowd outside kept up a continual cheering.

The Ball in Honor of the Prince's Visit. The big event of the the Prince's visit to New York was the grand ball given at the Academy of Music on the evening of Friday, October 12. No such pretentious function had ever been given in the history of the city, and the demand for invitations was so great that the big building was packed to suffocation. The ballroom floor was so crowded that dancing was almost impossible rooD was made for the Prince to dance with a few of the girls, who were the envy of all the others, and who treasured up the recollection of the few moments spent with the Prince in the maze of the polka, which was the popular dance of the day. A serious accident occurred at the ball that night that might have cost life of the Prince.

The weight of the large crowd on the floor caused the posts supporting the temporary floor over the orchestra chairs to give way, and many people were more or less seriously hurt. Happily, the Prince was at some digtance from the sceue of the accident, and was not caught in the slight panic that ensued. The ball was opened by the Prince who had as his partner Mrs. Governor Morgan, and the members of his suite filled up the set. The Prince danced the second dance with Miss Mason and the third with Mrs.

Hoey, who was the youngest daughter of General Scott. The decorations of the ballroom were gorgeous in the extreme and cost a vast sum of money. Conservatories for miles about the city were stripped of potted plants for the occasion, and roses and other flowers were massed all over the building in great profusion. Reviewed Parade of Volunteer Firemen. While the ball was in progress, the fremen's parade in honor of the prince was taken place in the streets, and when it passed the Academy of Music, he reviewed it from one of the balconies.

The Prince rested on Saturday, and on Sunday morning, October 14 he attended services at Trinity Church. In his pew were placed two very handsomely bound prayer books, each fastened with a' gold clasp costing $250, and inscribed to the effect that the books were a gift from Trinity Corporation, in memory of the munificence of the Crown of England. The Prince was taken to West Point on Monday, and went from there to Albany, and from Albany to Boston, where he was received with great honors. He sailed for home on October 20 from Portland, on a vessel of the royal fleet. The stay of the Prince on this side of the ocean lasted altogether about three months.

He landed on July 23 at St. John's, N. F. He visited Halifax, Newfoundland, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara on the Canadian side and then, coming to the United States, visited Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Richmond and Philadelphia.

Was Guest of President Buchanan at the White House. In every city he received tremendous ovations, and the good will of the people was shown in every possible way. In Washington he was the guest of President Buchanan, and, with the President, visited the tomb of Washington in Mount Vernon. While in Washington he visited a fashionable boarding school for girls and enjoyed several games of tenpins. He was guest on this occasion of a Miss Lane.

the, the evening there was a display of fireworks, but, as it was raining, the Prince refused to stand on a wet balcony to see the fizzling rockets, and, it is said, slipped away from his guardian, and, with some of the younger element of Washington society, went around seeing some of the night sights of the city. Robert M. Campbell, an Eagle employe, who was a boy in Montreal at the time of the Prince's visit, told to-day of the lining up of the McGill school class to which he belonger, on the side of the street. When the procession passed along Belmont street the children sang "God Bless the Prince of Wales." Queen Victoria was greatly pleased at the courteous manner in which her eldest son was received by the President and the people of the Northern States, the only thing that marred his trip being the coldness with which the people of Virginia received him. An incident of the prince's visit to New York was a gross insult offered him in the streets by an Englishman, who, during a delay in the parade on the day of his arrival here, rushed through the crowd to the prince's carriage, and shaking his fist as near the prince's nose as he could get it, applied many coarse epithets to him, winding up by saying, "'You will never be king of England, it you live a hundred years.

for kings is The man was finally hustled away by a policeman. In meeting Americans during the fifty years the king frequently recalled past incidents of his visit to the United States and seemed to delight in telling of many amusing experiences he had had while he was the guest of the Yankees. MAN HAD BEEN DEAD A WEEK Thomas Golden Refused to Consult a Doctor. Policeman's Attention Called to Golden's House by Neighbors. Lived Alone.

The de decomposed body of Thomas Golden, mason, 50 years old. who no faith in doctors, was found this morning in the front room on the first floor of the two-story frame dwelling, owned and occupied by him, at 117 Sheridan avenue. East New York. The neighbors of Golden--Harry Schneider, who lives at 119, and Joseph Schott, who lives at 115-had noticed an overpowering odor coming from the Golden house, and as nobody had seen the man in over a week, they made up their minds to notify the They told Patrolman Ralph the Miller avenue station. who broke open a window on the first floor, and was almost overcome.

The officer found Golden's body lying on a bed, clad in a nightshirt. Dr. Lett, of the Bradford Street Hospital, examined the remains, and gave it as his opinion that the man had died at least ave or six days ago. Golden had worked steadily at his trade up to three weeks ago, when he was compelled to lay off, owing to a severe attack of kidney trouble. When he complained of his illness to some of his neighbors he was advised to consult a physician, but Golden said he could not be bothered with doctors, as the only thing they think of, he said, is getting the patient's money.

The last time Golden was seen alive was about a week ago. when he went to 3 nearby store to make some purchases. He had lived alone in the house for the past two years, since the deaths. at almost the same time, of his wife and a 17-year-old son. His only known relative is a sister, who is employed at domestic service somewhere in East New York, and the police are now searching for her.

Golden had always been thrifty, and in addition to the house he owned, had a bank account of several thousand dollars. MARK WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

The building operations on the Coney Island municipal bath should be in full swing by June 1. In this respect Controller Pendergast has again shown his foresight in taking time by the forelock by instructing Frank H. Quinby, the architect, to have all plans and specifications in readiness, so that the contract for the construction of the building can be advertised as soon the resolution' appropriating the $175,000 is concurred in by the Board of Aldermen and signed by the Mayor. Controller Prendergast received word to-day that Mr. Quinby has complied with: these instructions, and that the plans and specifications are ready.

In fact, they were ready a week ago, and were used by Mr. Quinby in getung estimates from various contractors as to what the probable cost of the building would be. President Steers will be furnished with a copy of the plans and specificaticns, and will be asked to prepare the contract torm for bidders, pending action by the aldermen and the Mayor. "The corporate stock budget, in whien the appropriation for the Coney Island bath house will be included." said Mr. Pendergast to-day, "will be submitted to the Board of Estimate and passed next Friday.

The budget then goes to the aldermen. I have been told that the aldermen will make an exception in regard to the bath house appropriation. That will receive their consideration before all the other items in budget, and will be passed out of the Finance Committee immediately." According to this statement the appropriation will be authorized on May 17. Two days later it will reach the mayor. Under the charter he can sign before the end of the week.

In the meantime the contract inviting bids for the construetion of the bath house can be advertised and the bids can be opened and the contract awarded to the lowest hidder June 1. As the building is to be of concrete construction there is not the slightest reason why the first story of the bath house cannot be ready for the use of bathers before the middle of August. Architect Quinby says that the use of the first floor will not interfere with the construction of the second and third floors. Although the building may not be ready for use entires season the officials are anxious to have at least A portion of it ready for the accommodation of the public before the season ends. The building will be under the jurisdiction of Borough President Steers but all plans for the maintenance of the bath must submitted to the Board of Estimate first for its approval.
