DUCHESS AND INFANT
BEACON BLAZE AT GLAMIS
HEALTH OF PRINCESS
United T'rcss Association— By Electric Teleyr ,i])li—Copyright. LONDON, 23rd August. A bulletin states that the Duchess of York and the infant Princess are both very well. The infant Princess has blue eyes and fair downy h.-.ir. She is plump and well-formed and weighed a little under nine pounds at birth. The names mentioned as most likely are Margaret, Ann, and Victoria. Her sister, Princess Elizabeth, was most excited when she was allowed to see the baby. She clapped her hands delightedly and immediately expressed a desire to take th.c baby outside and nurse her. A great moving tower of flame and sparks over 200 feet high shot up on Hunter's Hill in honour of the Princess's birth. Watchers in six counties in Scotland saw the great light reflected in the sky. Lads and lassies joined hands and" wildly cheered the princess. As burst sparks fell like golden rain they broke and ran away to shelter. Estate workers served out beer in pails and drank the health of the princess again and again.
