Among the throngs in the vicinity, of Guild Hail during the election ceremonies were many Americans. The interest of the day had Its center in the Guild Hall, where the election took "place. Outside the ht?< toric building a barrier had been ciDtiou, Willi it Kvre or uiuro 01 sates, inscribed with the names of the various guilds or "City Companies." In accordance with an ancient custom sweet herbs were strewn ouUlde of the sates, "to preserve the civic dignitaries from the fevers of the ooWd." The members of the city companies assembled at the Chnrch of Old Jewry, where they attended the ens- ? tomary services preceding the elec- 1 lion. From the ehvrch they walked tn stately pro c seal on to the adjoining Guild Hall. Jkttet they were assembled in tlm big hall of thm buifding, the towp crier solemnly announced m It ted to remain, while all others menf. Even the retiring ?jo*d iThyor and hla celleagues of the Board of Aldermen were thus excluded from v the privacy of the momentous gathering. Then the common sergeant from the hurt nee of Guild Hall read the names of the two candidates available for election, 81r David Burnett and 81r T. Vanaittart Bowater. The name of the senior alderman. Sir David Burnett, was received with cries of acclamation from the liverymen, while the name of the other candidate was greeted with srlea of "Next Year." This really settled the mautf^.knt in accordance with the |PrMHpp|rvh>ee a show of hands was ttkwui the common sergeant declared that the choice of the the liveryman had fkUfcn on S'r David Bur<1 " ;?* MRS.

The area eoc'.oaea, however, a number of important institutions, first among them being the world-famous Bank of England, behind the walla of whieb reposes at -all -times a reserve f 100.0 every year. From the immemorial it has been the custom that/the senior' member of the Board of Aldermen was sleeted Lord - Mayor, after he had served his term as sheriff. The salary of the Lord aMyor la $50,000 a r.*ar and hla duties are principally representative and ornamental. The Lord Mayor la by duty bound to attend an incredible number of public and semi-public dinners and other public functions at which he represents the City proper, not, however, the greet metropolitan corporation which is governed by tbe London County Council, a thoroughly modern Institution, the functions of which are not-surrounded with mediaeval pomp and ceremonial sad lack altogether the spectacular and jplctureqsue features of the ancient city government.
