PRINCE OF WALES.
| TOO M UGH POPULARITY." j I " " | ENGLISH CLERGYMAN'S VIEW. LONDON. Oct, 3. The Rev. Hugh Sheppard, vicar of St. 1 j Martin in the Fields, declares that there I is a danger of the Prince of Wales being spoiled by popularity, which has been won |at the cost of dignity. Wherever he j goes during his tours he finds a popular | demand for " popularity " awaiting him. I This insistent pressure of foolish and | rather brainless popular applause, says I Mr. Sheppard, is calculated to have a j I damaging effect on the Prince's natural j | goodness, of which there are countleas J I instances. 1 " The form of popularity we should j | covet for the Royal Family,'' says the *| vicar, " is exactly that which King George ' j has earned." ! I The Prince of Wales, after his tour ' I or" South Africa and South America, will | arrive in England on October 16. He intends to have a long rest, during which |he will do considerable hunting. His I horses, including his Australian mount | Kin lark, are already at the Prince's bunt- [ mg quarters at Melton Mowbray.
