QUEEN'S ADVENTURE.
A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP. LONDON, October 25. While the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal (Princess Mary), was shopping in Fakenham, whither she had driven from Sandringham, a bullock, frightened by the traffic, entered the china department near where the Queen was standing." Assistants hastily intercepted the animal and drove it into the street before any damage was done. The Queen, much amused, remarked to the proprietor: "I have heard of a bull in a china shop, but I had never seen one before."
