MAYOR OF NEW YORK.
MR. WALKER VISITS LONDON. POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE. A. and N.Z. LONDON. Aug. IS. The Mayor of New York, Mr. James Walker and Mrs. Walker are on a visit to London. This is the first occasion on which a Mayor of New York while in office has been in London. Mr. Walker, who is staying at a hotel, is surrounded by an extensive and magic circle of members of the American Senate and secretaries, and encircled by all the pomp and majesty which usually accompany foreign inonarchs. His suite of rooms is guarded as faithfully as any palace by its courtiers and soldiers. An equerry is on duty outside the bedroom in which the Mayor to-day spent tlfree-quarters of his time. To every telephone ring an equerry shouts: "Say, mister, the Mayor is in his bath. He is having a,wash and cannot see you." When Mr. Walker left the hotel he was solemnly escorted by a long line of functionaries.
