THE "GLORIOUS FOURTH” AT ETON.—Against the magnificent background of Windsor Castle, England's stateliest Royal residence, the procession of boats moves off. The annual Fourth of June celebrations were carried out this year with traditional enthusiasm, parents and friends attending for the social festivities.
