THE LORD MAYOR’S SHOW, LONDON, 1889.
At the Royal Courts of Justice, as soon as the function of ‘swearing-in’ was over, the new Lord Mayor and his predecessor, accompanied by their sheriffs and swordbearers, left the court and made as if they would re juia the prooessiou in the Strand, In the crypt, however, there stands a refreshment bar. Mayors are but mortal, and the fatigues which these men had undergone had proved to be as much as they could b3ar. So, regardless of the procession that stood in the street outside, regardless also of the officials who awaited them in the Central Hall, these great ones from the City stopped to regale themselves with sandwiches and brandy and Apollinaris. Then they rejoined their companions, and proceeded in State. Pall Mall Gizette, London, Nov. 11, 1889.
