The Coronation ceremony will bring jurist to the mills of many estimable institutions in tho English metropolis. One hospital favourably situated on the route of tho procession calculates upon clearing a profit of £5000 by letting out seats to spectators. Th.j clubs along Pall Mall will make the most of their opportunity. The Reform, for example, has arranged to erect in front of its premises a double gallery capable of accommodating 680 persons. 'Tie seats will be charged at the rate of two and a-half guineas each, including a champagne luncheon. As the procession passes along Pall Mall twice the galleries will be twice filled. This means takings exceeding £3500, of which £2500 may probably bo counted as clear profit for the club's coffers. The Atbenceum and the Carlton will benefit to equal extent.
