PRINCE'S 'DROME.
LAID OUT AT COUNTRY HOME.
LONDON, October 30,
A feature of the Prince of Wales' new country home, Fort Belvedere, near Virginia Water, is a private aerodrome of 100 acres, with hangar and a dressing room for himself and equerry. Trees which were planted to commemorate Queen Victoria's jubilee were cut down to facilitate landing and taking-off. Thus the Prince is one, among perhaps a score of Englishmen, who have a private aerodrome, though it is certain that every country house of any pretentions will have one within the next decade.
