PRINCE AT EDINBURGH Visit to Royal Infirmary British Wireless. Rugby, June 12. The Prince of Wales visited Edinburgh to-day on the occasion of the bicentenary of the Royal Infirmary. On his arrival at the Royal Infirmary a large crowd welcomed him, while, inside, many of Edinburgh’s representative citizens and managers and heads of the nursing and administrative staffs were presented to him. The Prince visited several of the wards, and in the doctor’s room scratched bls name on the table which bears the names of many distinguished visitors, including the King and Queen. On leaving the Infirmary His Royal Highness visited the National War Memorial shrine at Edinburgh Castle. At a luncheon in the City Chambers the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, proposing the health of the Prince, said that the great scheme of enlargement of the Royal Infirmary which was contemplated would cost half a million sterling, but he thought that the sum would be raised now that His Royal Highness by his visit had drawn attention to their great institution.
