Co right; 1689 / Uv the Kric-Torie Tribttn ? London, June 23.?The Queen's Journey from Bal? moral to Windsor was made In absolute privacy. Her Majesty drove to Hallater In an open carriage drawn by four gray horses. There was no guard of honor at the station. At Ferry Hill tho public were ex? cluded, the lord Provost of Aberdeen hating received a telegram from Major Bigge In tho morning request? ing that nobody would come to tho station. At Perth tho blinds of the royal saloons were kepf drawn. The Queen did not stop to dine, but had dlnnor from tho refreshment rooms Handed Into the day saloon. MOI'KNINO JN ENOLAND. What can I say about court mourning? Nothing, except that the Court has gone Into mourning. So has society to a greater or k'sser extent. The mid? dle class has not. With the English mourning ls a national custom; consequently, In this case, most necessary as a mark of respect. NOTES FROM THE TURF. Tho Prince of Wales cont innes, to experience very bad lack with his taco horses. Not long since s two-year-old waa leased to him whose mmo was chsnged from Peter Athole 1o Plantagenet, But he himed ont utterly unworthy of such a high-sounding royal appellation when recently tried at Klngsc.lerc. Ho has since been returned to Mr Kmlth, his breedor, as worthless for racing. The project has been mooted of pulling down tho entire range of stands at Ascot, replacing the hetero? geneous snd Inconvenient mass of brick, stono and ironwork with a magnificent range of buildings worthy of the Ratal Meeting. The Daksj of Westminster will run no horses for annie weeks, owing to the recent death of Lord Robert Edward OnwiiaWl at Constantinople. The salo of the Beyal yearlings last Saturday, which waa the mod successful Shs Quoen ever had, being an average of 47-1 1-2 guineas for twenty-six, was some? thing to l-oa/st of, even If lt does not head the list at Ihe end of tho sea-on. The highest prices, 2 000 guineas and 1,500 guineas, were obtained for a colt by St. Simon, out of Lady Gladys, a comparatively unknown, mare of. no reputation, and for a filly by the name your-g sire out of Quiver, but li of which were puivha.sed by the Duke of Portland, st. Simon's owner. Next came a beautiful Tilly by Springfield out of Csnan Talr. who was preferred by many cog? noscenti when knocked down to I.oi-d Dudley for 1,4io guineas, and a splendid colt by Haataslat out of I.-m.l's Tn.I, iiani nf m. Michael, and Hal Lizard, who realized 1,100 guineas. The latter was I ought with several other lots to go to Buenos Ayn--, where the breeding of thoroughbred stock is all thc rage Just now. There seems to be no limit to tho fancy value of a racrhorso with a future before him. It ls staled on apparently good authority that his sporting owner ; refused -?I.'0 000 for the colt C'httabob, mitm-d Bom a combination found In tho Ingoldsby Lrg-i.;-. A H1NNEP. TO LOUD LANSDOWN P.. " Lo Viceroy est mort! Vive le Weera*/ I* was all |the cry et Balliol on Friday, when Balliol men aird ethers dined In the big hail to welcome homo from Canada and speed on his way to India that now dis? tinguished Ilalllol man, Lord Lansdowne. India was very strongly represented at the high table by lords Ilipon and Northbrook, Getrral strachcy, Slr A. Lyall, Messrs. llbert and Paika J, Mr M. Crant-Duff and SU? IT. Hunter. Tho Canadian prv.t found a stnglo Co? lonial representative !:i ttl (.corgi" Bowden l\.w"11. The Master, to tho great satisfaction of all prc-ont, was quite In his old fm m. Ho made three ipseebas, perfect In matter and manner. Perhaps tho most telling passages were his kindly allusions lo the le? gends as to snowing up fhe chajiel, Hie stealing of Uta locks of the back quad, gate, araiel were of old nut unconnected with tho name of the guest of tho even lng. Lord Lansdowne, in an admirable speech, proved that the enterprise and dash of tho undergraduate could ilpen Info eloquent common SSMS and stafesmans-hlp. 111. llbert was eloquent, and General Strachey and fclr A. Lyall commendably brief. Lon) .lo .iii o Bowea performed at length the- duties of visitor. Mr. Bobert Browning anl Mr. Francis Newman li*?tenod to much lu their own praise. "RKJIN OP A POLITICAL CANAKD. The canard of last week about Mr. Balfour*! resig? nation was by nu means av aimless or Innocent as thc public seem to suppi*!e. I havo reasons for staling that Hs appearance In fhe columns of "Tba Dublin Dally Express'1 on tho very day Axed for the appeal In Mr. Dillon'-, case was the result oi a deep Bad cleverly planned plot, sn ch an announcement In a t'ladstoulan paper, for example, " The Freeman's Journal,"' wooli have attracted little- notice, but by hoaxing the cnlef Tory organ of tho lush pits*., tho author of tho canard insured its aaeajBtance by the very people he wished to mislead. The innuendo, of course, ans that ins Cmoi Baeratari aa! iif-n foiced to retire by a decision of tho Cabinet, owing to tba Ayr election, to relax tba vigor of their Ii I-Impolicy, and in takanina, with their estimate of the men who aro Irish County Court Judges, tlio Parnellites us sumed that Judge Lisboy would fiamo his decision accordingly. ACCOHDINO TO PRUSSIAN CUSTOM. There ls more zeal than knowledge In ''Truth's" In Vcdlvcs against Emperor William for issuing his fli^t proclamation to thc army and navy, Instead of to thc v i, .li Bastion ? Henry ought to know that the Em? peror acted In accordance with tho Invocable practice In Prussia on the accession of a new sovereign. THE JIHAD OF TUE BRITISH MUSEUM. Tho resignation of Mr. Bond, chief librarian of tba British Museum, was unexpected. Ile Is et ill in tull vigor, and his ripe experience will be greatly missed. There can bc little doubt In the minds of any familiar with tho organization of the Museum who is tho right person to succeed Mr. Bond. Slr Antony Panlzzl, Mr. Winter, Mr. Jones and Mr. liond, thc four lunarians within ??ian memory, bad all been keep? ers of the printed books prior to their appointments as chief librarians. In Mr. GsnrSJB Billion, who h..Ids Ibo second position at the Museum, the trustees have a man fully equipped with all the qualifications for thc principal post, of great learning, bttttoaaa faculty, unbounded popularity and knowledge of tho world. HARD LOT OF THE DUC D'AUMALE. Pyat, tlio rank Communard, and llenil Uochcfort. tho quotidian evangelist of aimlosb revolution for revolution's sake, are allowed to live peacefully on Trench soil but tho Due d'Aumale must remain In eille. The Cabinet Council ls of the opinion that tho BBtataal circumstances do not allow them io grant thc petition of the Institute of Franco that the decree of exile ajrainst the donor of Chantilly should be re? in favor of the revocation. M. Floquet. fearing tho lu Bara* of the revocation, bf lld.uet, fearing tin wrath ol tho liudlcals and Communards, opposed lt. H Goblet oilncd that If tho Due d'Aumale were allowed to come back another learned member of the Institute must also bo recalled, namely, Prince Napoleon. In short, considering tba i' .rd reactionary activity both of the Monarchists and Imperialists, tho safety of the Rr*, public seemed to tho majority of the Cornell to require tho maintenance of tho decrees ot exile. MR. DAM BOSCH AS A LF.ADF.a At the Mu-!n c.inicri I made tho acquaintance of txiung Mr. Damrosch, tbe son of that excellent musician and tale nial composer, Dr. Damrosch, of New-York. Young Mr. Damrosch seems to be a very good musician, loo. He led a most lntetnetunj and original composition of bin father's with fire and Clearness. His conducting of lieetln.vcn's Symphony lu A minor I cannot approve of. He mistook well established movement* and was led away Instead of leading with calmnett Into certain accelerandos not entirely acceptable. MADAME NILSSON'S FAREWELL. Another concert remains to be mentioned, Rube's, at Albert Hall, lu which Madame Christine Nilsson took her farewell before a house crowded to Its utmost capacity. Ibero was not a *eat to Ik; had, as the saying goes, for love or money. M adamo Nilsson received tor two concerts, ?1,000. Tin* receipts ox coasted on Wednesday last ?2Anio: that ls to say, the highest sum which at these price* can be made, higher than Patti ever drew As to Madame Nilsson's singing, the result lt produced tistr.cs description. As tbe concert wont on, toward the sr-oond part when the fatal la*-t ap a-earanoe drew nearer, the audience grew always ararmer. They encored the ? Miserere." which she tang with Sims Reeves, and the chorus, genuinely. Her last song, which she sang with a dramatic In? tensity, with an artistic superiority, that no living singer can rival, received a douWe encore, the whole audience standing up, waving handkerchiefs, shout? ing aid making a rta! ovation of the scene. WINNIE HACK'S FAILURK. "Carmen," on Friday, with Madame Hauk, was not aalronued bj tbe gre**, monde. I pointed out tbs thoroughly luidlstlngirishefl manner of the Interpre? tation, and though some other papers pretended to seo In Madame Hauk tho Ideal Carmen, tho public aro of a dlfforcnt opinion. THE "SCARLET LETTER" IMPROVED. At tho Royalty "Tho Scarlet Letter'' ls vastly Im? proved by the happy dispatch of Dlmmesdale at the close. Thc lynching of Chlllingworth ls retained. Ono ls ready eno.gh to say, "Serve him right," so long as Dlmmesdale does not go scot free. Mr. Pastas Robinson dies, perhaps, a little too ecstati? cally, for, after all, Dlmmcsdala has acted Uko a hound and ought to be ashamed of himself; but the sceno ls decidedly effective. EDMUND YATES. WEDDlStrS PAST AND TO COME. Bolton, Lafco George, Juno ?5 (Special).-The villagers and summer colony at Bolton.

TUMULT OP F.XCITF, MFNT AROUND HIM. \BT TELI.iniM'K TO TUB TBIBUNB.) Indianapolis, .lune ?js.-The people of Indianapolis havo gone wild. Such scenes and such sounds a? may be seen and heard In tho city tonight aro beyond tho conception of the liveliest Imagination. Tho noise began this rooming with an occasional cheer from thc small groups of men who gathorcd about tho bulletin boards when tho balloting In Chicago began and proved unexpectedly that there was a tide In favor of Harri? son. The groups -swelled into crowds, and before noon business was generally abandoned and tho streets thronged with yelling nen. General Harrison was at his law office sum.muli d by forty or fifty friends, and as bulletins were received ovor the telegraph wires they were communicated to tho General by telephone. Ho had declined offers from two tele? graph companies to place instruments In his office, so that he mlitht receive tho news direct from the Con? vention hali. As bulletin after bulletin came In showing that he was rapidly gaining votes, tho excitement In the oftlco became Intense. When the figures bsd passed the 300th point W. H. H. MlUer, General Harrison's law partner, could restrain himself do longer and rushed back and f r-th through the two rooms In which the crowd wa gathered alternately cheering and chilling the man a* tho telephone for not getting return! more rapidly. " Oregon?Harrison six,"- came over the wire. '? Ami now pennsylvania," cried Mr. Miller. "!.*?('?. bear treal I'tiinsylvanla," shouted the Rev. Mr. Haynus, pa-tor of (icneral Harrison's church. " Pennsylvania ls what wc want," said tho Kev. Mr. Hunter, and then the man at tho telephone an t.otincod: " Pennsylvania?sixty for Harrison." Tliat settled lt. A great shout went up from the friends who had gathered and every ono pressed for? ward with congratulations. There was no need for further tidings frats Chicago. The General bore his hon? ors discreetly. At tills Instant tho sound of cheers burst upon tho air coming from a street nearly two squares away, showing ,li:*- tho crowd had caught the eniliusla-in of the moment and was hastening lo welcome the victor. A moment later lt came pouring around the corner, first one. then half a dozen and thea a exeat rush until several thousand people crowded tho street below willie (icneral Harrison nhowed him. self at his ofllce windows. Cheer upon Cheer rent thc air followed by the cry: "What's the matter with Harrison I* to be answered by hundreds ol throats: '? He's all rlaht." General Haril-mn was again rompellod to show him? self at his ofllce windows. Cheer upon cheer rent oiit-liie demanding recognition. The pressure con linulng to Increase, however, lt was deemed advisable for ceneral Harrison to retire to his homo and Mr. Miller's carriage was brought below. He was escorted down stairs and Wltb difliciilty a way was forced for him to proceed, while the cheering continued with unabated force. As thr* General mado lils appearance an enthusiastic admirer shouted. " Unhitch the horse," aird this cry was fallen up by scores, but before lt could bo acted upon a few fri.nils preeead bo Ila) front, tho signal was given and away sped the di Iver or tho General homo on North Peluware-st and BB Hie vehicle disappeared around tho corner again and again weal bj tbe cry: "What's tho matter with Mi on ."? wltb the refrain "Ho's all right." When the General a.-ilved af home ho was met at tho threshold by Mrs. Harrison, and aftor a loving salutation, ho passed Into tho house. His first act wis to grasp In hu amt and embrace his Infant grand -on, LcirJ.imiti Harrison McKee, a child of sixteen months. The family wen- than left alone for a while, but snun neighbors began calling to congratulate him BBd dieri from down (own came crowds and delegations until soon his resilience vvn.s lurresiaded by hundreds of eaeertag men tad boya, Previous to this arrival of Ihe crowd, however, CorTcspoiiiienfs had called and bad been cordially received by General Harrison, who, while eipreitlBg himself as unwilling to say any? thing for publication, talked hasty about the Incidents sf the day. In speaking of the scene In his ollicc when news of his nomination was received, ho ie m.irked: "Wo rco-ivcd the nows by telephone and I rappOSS ll wa- pretty generally known In tho elly befOre ll reached rm-.

READY FOR FRESHAIR WORK. SOME CHILDREN ALREADY OUT OF TOWN. TnE TWBUXK'g fCKD SWKLLIKG-MORn ON-KRS FROM THU COCNTRT NKKDKD. The preliminary arrangements for a btisy seaton for all connected with Tho Tribune Frosh-Air Fund have now been nearly all made. Usually tho children aro not tent Into tbe country until after the Fourth of July, but tho Berco heat of the last fow days has mado lt advisable to tend as many as possible out ot town without delay. A considerable number aro al? ready enjoying their fortnight's vacation. Many children mako warm friends with their hosts and aro Invited to come again and stay longer. Mom than 100 havo already been sent for by tho frlonds who became Interested In them, tome to stay a month and others lor even a longer period. Mri. 8. A. Lindsay, of Montrose, Penn., has been greatly Interested In this work for many years, and always sends for a larger number ot children for hersolf and her neighboit. A down or more havo already been lent for, and another larger company lt booked for Montrose early In July. II. A. Parsons, has been travelling about tho country for two months, visiting as many towns as possible, and ap? pointing local committee* In the various places to take charge of the country end of tho work. W. n. Fuller, secrotary of tho Young Men's (^kristian Asso? ciation, of Rrsttleboro, Vt., another enthusiastic worker, hopes to find places for 500 children In Ver? mont. Dr. C. C. Vinton, one of the board of ex? amining physician*, has recently spent a week in tho Catskills stirring up the people to hospitality. Thero are hundreds of places where the manager ls not able to send any one to organize the work. Co-operation ls greatly desired In all towns within 300 miles of New-York where there aro ompty beds and food to spare. One energctlo person tn a community, elthor minister or layman, with the Intorosti of sufferiiii New-York children at heart, can organize tho work and appoint a commltteo to find out how many children can be provided for for a fortnight during July and August, and address "Manager Frosh-Atr Fund," The Tribune, New-York City, Hundreds of hospitable people mo ready to receive tho children If they aro ashed to, and the manager most earnestly desires their co-operation, lt can safely be assumed that tho money will bo forthcoming to fend every child Into tlie coun? try for whom a place can be found. No appeal for money has been made this year, yet thoro is already In tho treasury $12,724 112. Every dollar contributed is usod directly for the children. There BM no salaries aud no office expenses to be taltcn from this fund. Tho transportation companies mako generous reduc? tions, so that a small sum of money goes a Braal way. All country friends are urged to provido most gener? ously for tho children. There.ls certainly no lack of poor Children in tho city needing tho outing. An hour spent in tho tencuicnt-bouso region on a day Uko yesiorday would convlnco any ono of tho na Bbl of tho children. If the country people could BBtaal but an hour in the averago tenement-house In summer and soo tho suffering the Intense heat brings to the poor children, they would throw wido open their hospitable doors. The children are selected by city missionaries and others at work among tho poor. Each child ls care? fully examined by a physician Batata lt ls allowed to go. Thirteen physicians must generously give their time to this important work. Tho following is a Nat of the examining physicians and the districts they cover: ffSBSl Bl, Broadway.

Mrs. Crowcll, of Brat* llaboro, Vt., has asa! for fifty worblng-gli-ls to visit her for a fortnight, beginning July 2. This will be tho fl rat largo party of tho season. Mrs. Crowcll had tiffy working-girls at her place last summer, and after their visit sho sent for fifty children. Tho thirty-fourth annual report of the New-York Infirmary says; Tho Fresh-Air work, which I* an important, aid to our people, has beta this year Increased. The Impor? tance of this work as a sanitary measure cannot be over? estimated. Wt were enabled to send 318 children and 22 women, eoch for two week*, in tho country. Wt have found that thus.) vacations invariably enabla the recipient* tn pass a morn comfortable winter than they Beast have dono otherwise. Tho moral effect upon tho children la remarkable. They return with new ideas of life and a desire to attain something In their own homes a little moro Uko the farmer's. Threo children have ol.tinu-l pat. mai."nt humes in tho country, and ono family, <.iu-.lst-.ng of six ponton*, ha* emlgrarod to tho western prirt of the BtBtt, as the result ot a visit of two of tho children last yrar. Now, after five monlha, they report themselves as doing well. Thia family required a great deal of os sUtsnce during the whole of list year. Through tho kind Intermit of Dr. C. R. Conkoy we sent 120 children to Watertown, where tbs doctor obtained host* for them. Our out-door practice ls entirely among tho poorest of tho tenement-house people. Tho houses are as a rile In a very bad sanitary condition. Living continually In a wretched atmosphere, with lr.t-ufflclcnt clothing and fond, we find that lt 1* almost Impossible to restore the pt -pi" M health. The landlords aud agent* refuse to alter the conditions of the houses. Boslde* their housework, must of tho women assist in the support of tho family by Mar? nte, to tho neglect of the children. Few nf the families at have known during the past six year* have materially bettered their condition. The hunger, cold ami naked? ness mern on tho Increase rather than on the deena se, and the problem of what to do with this Umemerit-houso system ls further from solution than ever. Next week tho work of somling tho poor children Into the country will begin in anrasat, and it ls boped that a larger number may bc provided for during tho seaton. OARFIRLP'S EXPECTATION OF IIOXORS.
