HIS MAJESTY'S ENGAGEMENTS.

The King's engagements later in the woek include the opening of the Royal Military tournoy on Thursday, and the reception of the delegates to the Congress of Imperial Chambers of Commerce on Friday. The attack is not interfering with his Majesty's routine work at the Palace, and he received visitors to-day as usual.
It is semi-officially stated that the King's ailment is progressing favourably, and his Majesty is able to spend a considerable time in the warm sunshine in the Palace grounds.
