HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH
REASSURING BULLETIN CROWDS VISIT BOGNOR (British Official Wireless.) Ree. noon. RUGBY. March 30. Lord Dawson of Penn visited the King yesterday, and after consultation with Sir Stanley Hcwett, the following bulletin, which is the first for a fortnight, was issued: "His Majesty continues to make satisfactory progress in spite of tiresome rheumatism round the right shoulder. His weight is increasing, his appetite returning, and his .sleep is of better quality. The insistence of a lengthy abstention from all but essential public duties and a quiet life in the present suitable climate, is being justified in the steady improvement in His Majesty's bodily and mental vigor."
Sitting on an overcoat behind: a screen on a lawn at Craigweil House, amid the Royal suite, tho King listened in the forenoon to tho military band's recital. A great crowd of the public, listened from the beach, a police cordon preventing approach to the house. His Majesty, learning of the disappointment, allowed the people to come- to the sea wall, when they could plainly see him in his armchair, chatting with the Archbishop of Canterbury. After the concert the King approached the sea wall and raised his hat to the'people.
