MESSAGES OF CONGRATULATION.
THE DUKE’S TWO BROTHERS
A SECRET WELL KEPT
(Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, August 29.
The tenants of Balmoral and Bowhill were enthusiastic when the news of the Royal engagement leaked out. The Duke of Gloucester visited Bowhill a fortnight ago. The romance was not even suspected,
as nothing came of rumours that he was engaged to Lady Alice some years ago, when lie was a frequent guest of the Duke and Duchess of Buceleucli. He met his fiancee through her brother, the Earl of Dalkeith, with whom ho was the closest friend when schoolboys at Eton. The announcement of the engagement a year and a day after that of the Duke of Kent was telegraphed to the Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Kent, who immediately replied with messages of congratulation.
