The fittings are of polished steel and brass, and every animal is worthy of its surroundings. Over each stall is an engraved plate nearing the name of the occupant. There are the special horses for the State coaches, the car riage pairs, Ilis Majesty’s chargers, the Queen’s horses, and those of the royal princes. For the last year the whole of the King’s stud has consisted of bays, and most of tbe horses are prize winners from shows all over the world. Among the famous creatures are “Swinton,” which is the King’s saddle horse, and “Paris,” which, in spite of it nineteen years, can still trot from Buckingham Palace to Paddington Station in thir teen minutes. “Anzac,” a war veter an belonging to the Prince of Wales, and “Tom,” the leader of the royal escort, aro to be found in negihboring stalls.

PRESIDENT WILL BE CANDIDATE AGAIN IN THE 1924 RACE Convinced That Half a Doz en Men Are Preparing to Run, Friends of Mr. Hard ing Start Campaign. i MOVEMENT IS NOW IN ITS INFANCY *_ But Every State Will Be Acquainted With It Before Summer is Over, Under Present Plans. Washington, Feb. 28. —Convinced that half a dozen aspirants already are making cautious-ovorture.s to test their strength as republican presi dential possibilities for 1924, some of the friends of President Harding have begun work to assure him a renomi nation. Thus far the nfovement in beliplf of the President has not reached the pro port’oris of a closely knit organiza tion but it has progressed to the point where it promises to make itself felt in many states before the coming summer well begun. The »utritude of Mr. Harding him self toward a second term remains un ahmounced, and it is considered im probable that lie will make any pub lic statement of his intentions, at least in the near future. This is quite a general agreement among those 5 .on the inner circles of Washington poli tics!, however, that,, a desire for pub lic endorsement of his stewardship will impel him to stand for re-election. It Ls upon this presumption at any rate that those who want to see him remain in the White House for an other four years are proceeding. In cluded in the group of friends who have lieen in oonferenq? here are some of the men who led the. succss ful pre-convention campaign of 1020, and some, who came over to the Hard ing ranks from other camps after the convention was over. As a result, the ultimate lineup of the Harding forces of 1924 is expected to resemble only in part the organization? that fought and triumphed in the nomination tight years ago. Attorney General Daugherty, who was the pre.-convention manager for Mr. Harding in 1920, is expected to again take a hand in urging the ve nom i nation. But for several Reasons Mr. Daugherty is not expected by his friends to be. as active as he wasifn 1920. His health recently failed him, requiring liim to remain in bed for several weeks, and although he has virtually recovered, he cannot take the burden of travel and conference which would fail upon an active campaign manager.
