The Duke of Connaught visited at Potchefstroom the experimental farm established by Lord Jlilner at the close of the war. 11l 1902 tho site was a waste of bare brown veld. The Royal party drove through acres of leafy orchards, passed great lields of wheat and oats, and paddocks studded with thoroughbred stock. At Pretoria the Duke laid the foundation-stone of the now Government offices, which he described as an "architectural achievement of which any citv in the Empire might bo proud." in Johannesburg tremendous enthusiasm was evoked by tho Royal visit, and the Duke dedicated tho war memorial there.
