OVATION FOR QUEEN
ENORMOUS CROWDS
(British Official Wireless.) (Received May 10, 1 pjn.) RUGBY, May 9. Hardly at any time of the day or night has Buckingham Palace been without its crowd, and this afternoon when the Queen drove out on a private shopping expedition she received a remarkable ovation. London crowds have been getting steadily bigger in the parks and streets owing in part to the enormous influx of visitors. The authorities expect that on Saturday night the crowds will exceed all others. There has been no departure from good temper and orderliness. The police courts have had less cases to deal with than in a normal week, and it was mentioned in the House of Commons today that despite the vast numbers of people who made use of the parks no appreciable damage had been done, and. notably, there had been no damage to plants or flowers. ROYAL MILITARY TOURNAMENT. The Royal Military Tournament, one of the most popular items in the London season, opened at Olympia today, when the Prince of Wales represented the King. As usual, all of the three Services had combined to present a programme combined of skill, pageantry, and lighthearted entertainment, and the proceeds from which will go to Service charities.
