GOLF ON BOARD.

LONDON, August 10.

The Belgrade correspondent of the “Daily Mail” says King Edward’s party aboard the yacht Nahlin includes Archie Compston, the British golfer, who will accompany the party throughout the cruise as a trainer, using the deck for putting, pitching, and even drives. There are 3,000 golf balls aboard, most of which it is anticipated will be lost overboard. Compston frequently tutored the King in the past. There is also fishing tackle aboard. It is expected that the King will enjoy bathing, fishing, and sun-basking in the quiet, inlets with which the coast abounds.

The Nahlin, accompanied by British and Jugoslav destroyers, steamed southwards into heat and haze with the King in a flannel suit and straw hat leaning over the stern smiling and waving to the peasants. VISIT TO FISHERMEN. [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.]

RUGBY, August 11

The King, in the yacht Nahlin, is himself planning the course to be followed. Yesterday, the Nahlin dropped anchor off the little island of Cornato, and the King .went ashore. He walked round the island, and showed keen interest in the life of the fisher folk, who displayed great enthusiasm at the unexpected visit. The Nahlin anchored for the night off the island of Salka.
