The Duke of Cambridge.

The Duke of Cambridge, notwithstanding the fact that he is three, months older than our late lamented Queen Victoria, shows few or no traces of old age; indeed, since his retirement from the post of Commander in-Chief he lias accepted far more social and official invitations and engagements than he was formerly able to undertake. "The Duke," as he is affectionately known to a very large circle of devoted friends, retains all his old love for and interest in the British Army; he has followed every phase of the South African campaign with untiring and keen anxiety, and in several cases he has foreseen, with astonishing accuracy, what the next move in the great war-game would [bring forth.' His Royal Highness was a most kind and affectionate brother to the late Duchess of Teck, and lie is much attached to the Duchess of York, and to the kite's brothers, The Duke when in London spends a good deal of his time with Ins only surviving sister, the Grand Duchess of Mecklen-burg-Strelitz, who has a house in St, James's-strcet, Buckingham Gate. Both she and the Grand Duke are always made warmly welcome to Cambridge Cottage, tho Duke's delightful suburban residence at Kow.
