PRTNCE OF WALES—MAN.
The Prince of Wales has attained to manhood from tho royal point of view, and he is beginning to enter into the kingdom as heir to the Throw), Amongst other things he has joined th» Marlborough Club, like his father nnd his grandfather before him. He has l><y romu a clubman earlier than did King George or King Edward, but in Ii» case, as in that of all royal personages, the coming of n_ro is n't Is. nnd "not 21. The Prince has not yet entered the club (=nys the London correspondent of the Melbourne "Age"), but" when he does so, he will bo received theoretically in the samo AraA' ns nr-y other member. His royal rank falls automatically from his shoulders as ho passes tho stalwart and brightly caparisoned commissionaire nt tho door, but it is an understood 1 thing that no one must speak to Mm, unless ho first addresses them. Needles! to say, tho Marlborough Club is preo- v nbly the most exclusive in Europe. As an American said who tried to forco open its doors by iveight of gold: "It « harder to shoA'e a sovereign throivh the eye of n needle than for an outsider toenter the Marlborough Club."
