QUEEN IN PAIN
GRIT ENTERS AN EYE LEEDS CEREMONY DELAYED British Wireless RUGBY, Aug. 23 The King, accompanied by the Queen, to-day opened a new Civic Hall in Leeds, which cost £400,000. Huge crowds greeted the Koyal procession on its way from the boundary, where it was greeted by the Lord Mayor and officials, to the Town Hall. It included an escort of Lifeguards, who are rarely seen outside of London. After the ceremony the departure of the Royal party from tho Town Hall was delayed owing to a piece of grit entering the Queen's eye, and causing her considerable pain. She received treatment from Lord Moynihan, an eminent surgeon, who was present, hut the latter part of the proceedings was delayed for nearly an hour.
