THE KING.

In Cheerful Mood. RONDON, February 11. The sea air was' so bitterly cold at Bognor that it was impossible to open the windows of the King’s bedroom. The King spent a day in bed chatting cheerfully with the Queen, Dr Hewitt, and members of the household. He, however, enjoyed a glimpse of the spray-ridden sea. No bulletin will be issued until Lord pawrou comes to Craigwell in two or three days’ time. The bitter east wind also kept the Queen indoors. PRINCE PARTING WITH HORSES. LONDON, February 11. . The Prinee of Wales spent to-day ‘ among his dogs and horses, wandering through the stables and grounds, and saying good-bye to favourite hunters, which he has decided to sell. They will be disposed of by auction not privately. It is not known yet whether the Prinee will continue to spend leimre at Melton Mowbray. His simple re idence, Craven Lodge, withi* b stone p throw of the railway. has been one of his most favourite resorts. News of the Prince’s decision was something of a sensation to Melton Mowbray hotels and tradesmen. MELTON MOWBRAY’S LOSS. LONDON, February 11. In connection with the Prince of Wa'-ee ’s sale of his horses, the news of the Prinee’s decision was something of a sensation to the Melton Mowbray hotels and tradesmen, who h<ve prospered as the result of the town’s popularity. They are afraid of a slump. Melton Mowbray knows of nothing but hunting. The Horn is its idol, and the pink coat, saddles and bridles are the trappings of its worship. The townsfolk are deeply sympathetic with the Prinee of Wales in his having to give up sport.
