GIFT FOR A KING.
Model of British Locomotive
Presented.
BORIS OF BULGARIA
British Official Wlrel«M. (Received 12 noon.)
RUGBY, November 12.
King Boris of Bulgaria, who has been visiting England, has left London to return to Sofia.
An informal and unusual little ceremony marked the departure of the King and Queen of Bulgaria from Victoria Station. King Boris' interest in locomotives is common knowledge and immediately before the Golden Arrow Continental express left for Dover, the chairman of the Southern Railway, asked His Majesty to accept a scale model of the Eton—the best-known of the famous Southern Railway "schools" class of locomotives.
The King was obviously delighted with the gift.
