(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Whttelaw RMi1, the special envoy of the United States to the coronation, will have a carriage lo himself In the royal procession through London' streets next Friday. The World correspondent has learned that the re msrksble circumstances under which this departure from the published official pro gram was brought about are these: The official list placed the special envoy of the United States In a carriage with Turkhal pasha, the special representative of the sultan of Turkey, and Admiral Oervals, representing the French republic. It would tie had enough to he In the eame carriage with the Turk, but the position was aggra vated by the fact that the American envoy was to be placed with his back to the horses, while the Turk would alt beside Admiral Oervals In what is usually re garded as the seat of honor. Mr. Reld Immediately protested that as the envoy of the United States he could not accept the position allotted to hlra. The lord chamberlain was very sorry, but urged that his place waa fixed strictly In accordance with the table of precedence. Mr. Reld expressed his regret that he should have definitely to decline to join the procession under such circumstances. The matter waa referred to King Ed ward, who, the Instant he heard of the trouble, directed that the United Btatea nvoy should have a eoparate carriage. The lord chamberlain was technically right in his arrangement, according to the estab lished court usuage, but Mr. Reld has shown It. In time that mediaeval notions of prece dence should be revised in the light of the existing order of things. Baa Removed from Two. Few Incidents connected with the coro catloi have excited more comment than the lavttatlona sent to Henry Laboucbere, M. P.. and Sir Charles Dilke. M. P.. to luncheon on the king's yacht at the naval review. Mr. Labouchere's caustlo criticism of the court got him proscribed by Queen VIM oris, hut he always waa a friend of the present king, who haa thus shown his Jlberal tendencies. Sir Charles Dilke is ma of the ablest and most valuable atates- tnen In England, but Queen- Victoria would never recognize him after hia divorce court trouble. The king evidently intends to withdraw the ban so Dilke can be Included In the next liberal cabinet. The crown that King Edward will wear at the coronation has been finished by his maieaty's jeweler. It la a magnmceni daszllna bauble. It haa been shown only to a few of the klnga Intimate friends and to some of the Eaat Indian potentates, whom nothing Impresses as do Jewels and to whom gems are typical of power. To- create the new crown the Jewels were taken from coronation crowns of the king's predecessors and replaced by paste imitations. Indeed all the hlstorlo regalia of Great Britain haa been laid under tribute. The new crown la most graceful in form. In lta front elates the huge ruby given by the king of Castile to Edward, the Black Prince a ruby valued at 11.000,000. From Queen Elizabeth's crown diamonds and pearla were taken. The Jewela in the crown, scepter and aword worn by ths king at the corona tion ceremony are estimated to be worth tnore than 12.000,000. Klna; Has Recovered. The king Is almost himself again. HI, recent Illness was cauaed by a Mvtte "Chill, which particularly affected the lumbar region. Hie majesty suffered such agon that the strongest possible drugs were ad ministered to him. He contracted the calll by changtug hia ordinary clothes for a military uniform, of light texture- He had a prectaely similar seizure last autumn at Balmoral, when, wearing ktlta, he went out hooting on a wet day. There was a story current In the royal enclosure at the Ascot races that his majesty had fallen In a St, hut the report was groundless. His majesty's notion of the importance ef bridge whist in the scheme of affairs la proved by his sending a card for the royal box In Westminster abbey to Miss Jane Thornewell, the woman who taught him bridge whist and who Is one of the most skillful of women playera. There are many prominent women In London society who would give almost anything they possess te he included In that select party. Miss Thornewell Is only known as the king' favorite partner in the favorite game. An astonishing travesty on the coronation ceremony waa witnessed at Westminster abbey Wednesday morning. The king's part la the rehearsal was aaaumed by the learned and estimable Lord Chancellor Halsbury, who, however, happens to bs the homeliest and leaat dignified figure in all the peerage. In truth, his lordship Is a vulgarised edition of L. Toole, the famous low comedian. The queen's part waa taken by the duchess of liuccleuch. mistress of the robes, a stately, aristocratic woman than whom no one la more familiar with court func tions. The contrast between the graceful, elegant carriage of the duchess and the grotesque little chancellor, as he strutted around affecting regal demeanor and going throught the king's "business," excited to laughter even the workmen on the abbey. When Halsbury aeated himself on the chair that represented the throne his feet were Ix Inches off the ground. The duchess anj all the court functionaries nearly choked In their efforts not to offend the chancellor. Two Dresaaa from ladla.

(Copyright, 1?02, by Press Publishing Co.) PARI3, June 21. (New Tork World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Bradley Mar tin, Jr., before rejoining his family In Lon don, unsuccessfully sought to console him self for oumerous defrats at bagatelle and polo by a victory with the new "flying" machine, Aviator. The World told how Shutz, the Aviator Inventor, tried to fly last week and got a thorough ducking. Young Mr. Martin, who has financially be friended Shutz, became convinced that the inventor's lack of skill was wholly due to his lack of nerve. Mr. Martin decided to demonstrate that Aviator can fly, eo after some practice within an Inclosure he bad the machine transported to the St. Cloud aqueduct. There he was sure be could at tain the height necessary to a successful tart on his aerial flight. Aviator's great wings were strapped on young Mr. Martin s arms, his feet were fixed In the pedals, for to really fly Aviator needs the propulsion of Its passenger's four limbs. Looking much like a tremendous bat, Mr. Martin was pushed off the edge of the parapet by his assistants. He flapped his wings desperately, but uselessly. He guided down, slantingly, and struck the water 200 feet away. The men waiting in the boat to give rescue if needed were not equal to the occasion. Aviator, gradually getting wet, slowly sank, with the strug gling Mr. Martin under it. When he was rescued by his friends Mr. Martin declared he had swallowed all the Seine water he would need for six months. Bradley Martin, Jr., is one of the British- American young men of London, where his mother has a splendid establishment. Mr. Martin has never been known as a par ticularly "high flyer," but he has shown courage before. In February, 1901, he was a passenger on the Kalserln Maria Theresa from Genoa to New Tork. On the steamer, too, were Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger and her maid, Josephine Curtelln. The ship had been pounded by heavy seas and beaten by rains and hall squalls. Mile. Curtelln, with a few other women as venturesome as he, waa on the forward promenade deck. A monster wave engulfed Mile. Curtelln, wept her across the deck and dashed her against the port rail. Mr. Martin, from the lee of the deckhouse, saw the woman a perilous plight. "As the maid, screaming with fright, was on the point of being dashed overboard," said Mrs. Cruger, in describing the occurrence, "the young man, clad In storm clothes and golf cap, plunged. at the risk of his own life. Into the surging green and white, clasped the woman'a waist and bore her to safety." When his fellow passengers went to congratulate him he escaped to hia rooms. Mile. Curtelln was badly used up. Three or four other women were thrown down and bruised. Young Mr. Martin modestly declined to discuss the rescue.

It was summoned with the Idea of arriving . at some rcheme of imperial defense to which the colonies would contribute. It waa alao Intended to discuss the question of an 1m perlal customs union.

I The Australian colonlea, while willing to Join In the imperial defense if it costs them nothing, declare at the same time that they will maintain their own customs duties, which are vital to their existence. Then Lord Hopetoun, the first governor general of the Australian commonwealth has resigned, ostensibly on a question of alary, but really because, as Secretary Chamberlain's instrument, he is per petually interfering in ministerial matters and 1 causing constant friction and sub Jectlng himself to bitter snubs at the hands of the commonwealth government.

WYETII THE WINNER General Opinion that the Best Horse Landed the Chicago Derby. NO ROUGH RIDING DURING THE CONTEST Winner Comes True When Called Upon in the Home Stretch. EASTERN HORSES A DISAPPOINTMENT Neither Pentecost Nor Arsenal Figure at Any Stage of Bace. HEN0 AND OTIS SET THE PACE EARLY Experienced Horsemen of the Opin ion that In Doing; So They Lost All Chance of Being; la at Finlah. CHICAGO, June 21. Coming with a weeping stride through the stretch, the game colt Wyeth won for John A. Drake bis first Derby and upheld the traditions of the race by the overthrow of the favorites, and by the western horses, beating the best that could be sent from the east. There is no room for argument about the best horse winning. The race was free from rough riding or anything in the nature of a foul, was cleanly run and truly won and Wyeth was the best of the twelve 3-year-old colts that lined up at the barrier today before Starter Dwyer. Jockey Lucien Lyne rode a sensible race on Mr. Drake's colt. Heno, the heavily played eastern colt, went to the post the favorite at 24 to 1, but failed to finish inside the money, though It was not altogether his fault. He ran gamely and fast. It looked as though Jockey Bullman made a mistake by using Heno so much in the early part of the race. For furlong after furlong be fougV. for the lead with Barney Schrlber's Otis and they set a pace which, In the slow and dead track, told on both of them at the supreme moment of the race, the struggle to the home stretch. Singleton, on Otis, was censured by many good judges of racing for using what ap peared to be singularly poor Judgment in taking to the front a colt carrying 127 pounds and trying to tip such a Urge and high class field. It Is only fair to presume, however, that Schrlber's Jockey rode ac cording to orders given him. Pentecost and Arsenal Disappointing. Pentecost and Arsenal ran a disappoint ing race. Neither ever had a position suf ficiently near the front to be regarded as a serious contender, and visitors from the east who had witnessed their best races on the tracks around New York declared that the unsatisfactory performances of these two colts would have to be attributed to their unusually long aud trying railroad jouruey on the eve of such an Important contest. As Arsenal and Pentecost were de layed nine hours In making the trip from New York to Chicago, turfmen believe that the reason advanced for their poor showing is not without foundation. Perhaps the greatest . disappointment in the races to thoae who arrived at the last moment to pin their faith to a western horse waa the race run by Bell'a Com moner. He failed to finish within the first three. The real surprises of the race were Lu cien Appleby and Alladln, who finished sec ond and third respectively. Lucien Ap pleby would have been conceded a good chance had the track been heavy, but when the dust was seen flying as the horses went to the post for the first race on the card, those who had placed their faith In him In the future books gave up their bets for as good aa loBt. Prowl Had No Chance. Corrlgon and Lord Quex ran Just about such a race as most people expected of them, while with the going as good as It was. Prowl had no chance whatever In this company. Had the track been heavy be would have been conceded a fair chance. The Cincinnati colt, Hermls. broke down after running about a mile, but his showing up to that time did not lead one to believe that he would have been well up to the finish had he been able to complete the race. One of the features of the race won by Wyeth was that he got off last after the fall of the flag and wore the field down one by one. Striding along In irresistible style, without any apparent effort, and at the eame time getting over the ground grandly, he appeared at all stages of the race to be running well within himself, although passing one horse after another and evidently traveling the faatest. They never bad him "straight" and his neck waa not stretched until the final sixteenth. Even then, he waa far from being out, and he clearly won with a little aometblng In reserve. Coburn rode a patient race on Aladdin. He avoided the early pace, never hurried his mount at any part of the con test. No matter what the leaders were doing, and he waa rewarded by finding at the finish that his horse had enough left to make a grand run through the stretch, where he came from behind and made a desperate bid for third honors. The story of the race is soon told. There wa but little delay at the post and Starter Dwyer got them away with a good send-off. Otis and Heno at once showed In front, with Wyeth last.' Round the turn from the half-mile post to the head of the stretch the field came bounding along at a good pace. Otla and Heno had drawn clear of all contenders and already were fighting for the lead. Past the stand ths same pair was running head and bead, well In front of the field, on th outside of which wers Arsenal and Corrigan, both a little too far back to please their backers. Wyeth Moves I p. Round th clubhouse turn went the fly ing lesders and by this time Aladdin had taken third place, closely attended by Belle's Commoner. Wyeth had moved up from last plsce and hsd passed Prowl, Pentecost, Lord Quex, Lucien, Appleby, Hermls and Araenal. When half the die tanc of the race had been completed Heno and Otis still held a commanding lead and showed no algn of tiring. Belle's Com moner and Wyeth were the nearest at tendants, although Aladdin was still up and on ths rati. Coburn apparently pre ferred to drop back to fifth place rather than huatle hia horse, with half the race to be run. There was no change in ths order down th back stretch, but when a full mile had been completed Bullman teemed to think tb time had come for blm to make hi run with Heno. It waa a poor piece of Jockeyshlp. Heno when let down drew away from Otla and went round the far turn, increasing his lead until fully three lengths la advance. Otia bung on gamely and It was not long before Hsno begaa to show algn of coming back. Aa iCeaUaiMl oa SscoaA Paga.) THE BEE BULLETIN.

Cornell's Greateat Triumph. Cornell won the greatest triumph of Its history In boating. The Ithacane literally swept the Hudson, winning all three event In the Intercollegiate regatta, the 'varsity, the freshman and the four-oared races. In each race the crews, reached by Charles Courluey, bad to fight all the way front start to finish for victory. In only on of the three races did the Ithacans dare to at any time come down on their apeed. The Wisconsin boys won the second honors of the day and to them belongs (great credit for the splendid fight which they made la the 'varsity and freshmen races. In both of which events they finished a strong second to the Ithacans. In all three races Colum bia finished third. In the four-oared Penn sylvania waa second, but la the. 'varsity race, the Quakers finished In fourth place and In the freshmen race they were fifth. The University of Syracuse beat tha Quakers out tor fourth place In the fresh man event and la the 'varsity Byraouse fought Georgetown out tn the last few Icngthi, beating the boya from Washington ' by leas than a yard at the finish line. In none of the racea were the records touched. but in all three eventa the time were not tar above the fastest that have been mad on thla course. Despite the clouds and rain a big crowd came to see the racea. All through the morning It seemed as though postponements would he necessary, but as the hour for the first race of the day drew near the wind died away and gradually the sun fought Its way through a nasty gray sky. The races were all rowed under splendid conditions. The boats had tho wind with them and the tide to help them along. Courtney aays his 'varsity eight had power enough to have lowered the record -of 18:53 2-5, made by Cornell a year ago If hia crew had only been harder pressed. Conddent They Could Do Better. The Ithacans now make 'public the fact that a week ago they came within four sec onds of the record and they are sure they would have done even better this afternoon If they had to fight a Utile hardor on th last mile. They admit that the frcohmen race was a surprise, but they say they vera confident of winning the four-oared event. The Badgers, plucky as usual, make no com plaint. They are satisfied that tb fastest eight won In both the 'varsity and the freshmen events, while Columbia Is thor oughly satisfied with the showing muds by its light crews. The New Yorkers did not expert to win the 'varsity race, they were doubtful about the freshmen race, but did belleva they would win the four-Oared and perhaps they would bsve done so but for the breaking of an oarlock. The Quakers have little to aay. Pennsyl vania' most conservative admirer did not expect a much better result and they have no excuses to make. The Georgetown boya were greatly disappointed In the 'varsity race, for last night they were betting that they would wipe out Columbia. Was a Hard Straggle. The story of the big 'varsity race la th story of a hard struggle for all lx crews for four long miles. The graceful sheila werefrequently lapped In tb first mile. In ths second mil Cornell pulled out and Columbia hung to Wisconsin for second place with a deadly grip, whll Georgetown was almoat nose and nose with the New Yorker with Pennsylvania and Syracuse only a few feet behind. This was the order of the boats right up to th lsst half mile, where Pennsylvania spurted and finally Syracuse Jumped ahead of Georgetown only a few ayrds from tha fin ish. Over the last two mile of the race Cornell widened the gap between It and th Badger little by little, but twlc th hoys from Wisconsin spurted and pulled tho Ithacans back. Columbia bung to Wiscon sin up to ths three- mile flag and even at the beginning of th laat half mil when the Quaker pulled away. Th Wash ington boya struggled hard, but finally dropped back to sixth In ths struggle. It was almost o'clock when Referee John Eustls ssked the 'varsity men If they were ready and fired hia pistol. All sla cdews got away 16 good style, but the Cor nell boat aoon began to creep ahead. At the end ofth first eight of a mile Cornell had a ten toot lead over Wisconsin, while the other tour sheila were zigzagging along side of the Badgers' coxwaln. At th end of th qaurter mile the Ithacan had their hell a good quarter of a length ahead of th Badger. It wa a race to warm up tha moat cold-blooded. From th long observa tion train a curloua medley of eahaar brok tb atlllnea of th Hudson and reverberated among th hill.
