THE KING'S ILLNESS.
United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. London, July I The Prince of Wales last evening stated that he was satisfied that the King was doing remarkably well. After his Majesty had spent some hours on a couch he retired to bed at 8.30, refreshed by the change. The Colonials, Indian Princes, Indian troops, five hundred boys from the Greenwich School, and a number of naval pensioners who fought in the Crimea and the Indian Mutiny, received an ovation at Southampton on their trip round the fleet. The Indian visitors were delighted with the warships, which were an absolute novelty to many of them. The colonial troops, who are to be reI viewed to-day, will be invited to prolong I their stay.

A rocket sent up from the Great Wheel at Earlscourt, rose 1000 feet, and gave the signal for the lighting of the Coronation bonfires, of which 2000 were soon ablaze.
