London, Sir Henry James, Lord Esher, the Master of the Rolls, and the late AttorneyGeneral Sir Richard Webster. Lord Esher in his younger days, when Mr. Baliol Brett, was one of the most fashionable young men about town, and the most casual observer recognizes in him a type of the old time grandee. Sir Charles Hall and Sir Henry James are among the Prince of Wales's most intimate friends. The British Empire Club, which I have described before in
your columns and which consists of members of any Bar within the British dominions, is to be honored by the presence at its next dinner of His Excellency the United States Ambassador, Mr. Bayard. The occasion is naturally antici pated by the members of the Club with much pleasure, and difficulty is being experienced in restricting to convenient proportions the number of those who desire to be present.
TO HIM WHO WAITS. By Samuel R. Ireland.
T TE who can humbly wait upon the Law In outer court or at her regal throne, May not at once her kindest glances draw Nor proudly stand her favorite alone. But, some day, for his steadfast faith will see That loyalty, when to a jealous Queen, Will honor win and immortality — The rank of Noble and the laurel green.
