HOTELS BOOKED OUT.

LONDON’S CORONATION RUSH. All hotels in London are already booked out for the Coronation in May (says a message dated February 19). With Government authority, a committee of hotel proprietors and travel agents has been formed to find accommodation for the expected flood ot Coronation visitors. Londoners are now asked to send :n details of any accommodation they have available. This must be open to rigid inspection and reasonably pi iced, and must include breakfast. Offers ranging from bed and breakfast at 3s 6d a day to a house at 1000 guineas a week have already been received. This is the first time in its history that London has organised hospitality on a large scale ■\n inspection of West End hotel registers for the Coronation revealed that surprisingly few celebrities have booked. , ~, , Apart from about a dozen Maharajahs, Sultans, and American and Continental millionaires, all the guests who have hooked arc regular visitors. “Celebrities who try to make lastminute reservations will have to look out for themselves, said an official. Among the earliest to book was the Maharajah of Kashmir who, 13 months ago. reserved six double rooms, four servants’ rooms, and two sitting rooms at the Grosenor Hotel, I ark Lane.
