ANOTHER ROYAL WEDDING.

Caarowita of Koml* to ILutt tfco D»njhter of tbo Prince of Walea. Announcement has been officially made of the betrothal of the Grand Duke Nicholas, eldest son and heirapparent of the Czar of Russia, and Princess Victoria, second daughter of the Prince of Wales. This will make

a triple matrimonial connection between the royal families of Russia and Great Britain. To begin with, the Czarina, mother of the prospective bridegroom, and Princess Alexandra of Wales, mother of the bride-to-be, are sisters, while the sister of the Czar is the wife of the Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Queen Victoria Should the Czarowitz outlive his father his English-born wife, if she too is living, will become Empress of Russia The Grand Duke Nicholas was born May 18, 1868, while the natal day of Princess Victoria was July 6 of the same year. The Czarowitz bears a striking resemblance to his cousin and future brother-in-law, the Duke of York. Princess Victoria has had little opportunity to distinguish herself. She is—as all princesses are conceded to be—amiable, and by courtesy at least is beautiful.
