Sir F. Laking, one of thf I‘hysicians-in-Ordinary, was telegraphed for, and proceeded after midnight to Aldershot, and prescribed. The doctor recommended a day spent in perfect quietness. The King is confined to his conch, but was considerably better towards evening, when he rose. Later he expected to be able to attend the review. The ‘Standard’ states that there is no cause for anxiety. The King was somewhat run down through constant attention to State duties. The Queen and Prince and Princess of Wales visited the camp hospital during the afternoon. (Received June 17, at 9.23 a.m.) The King passed a good night, and is better.
