Rote-Sellers m Downing-street. New Zeolsnders Entertained by > Mrs. Aaquith. ' (By Telegraph— Press Association — Copyright, LONDON, Juno 25. A two-yoar-old rose seller waylaid Queen Alexandra's carrlago on Alexandra Day. Tho Queen alighted and bought bunchoa of rones. Tho Prince of "Wales md PrJnco Albert paid half-u-HOvor-cign each for a rose. To use a favorite expression of godIo»H bookmakers, tho "two-year-old" was v ready, and planted by Alexandra herself where a lot of sycophantic reporters and ninny girls could weep ovor her. Tho story* Is the same old ono of tho little boy who wrote o beautiful letter to tho Klnff about his whlto rabbits and guinea pigs, and tho KlnK was so delighted that ho sent tho Uttl« boy a gold watch and a certificate or merit and made him a "dook." Blnco tho lato-lfim<»"»<sd Kin* Kd~ ward passed over tb<s rolling Jordan, the domineering presence of Quoen Mary has thrown Qucicn Alexandra olean Into tho »hade, and it Is only natural that »!>o should do a bit of a splash m the "Mttlo rose seller" line when she get* nn Innings. It reminds tho llemplah that «h« la allvo and j "nover woury of well doing."
