AN ORDINARY PASSENGER
H.R.H.'S AFRICAN TOUR A SIMPLE TRAVELLER (Eiec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received December 30, 10 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 28. When the Prince of Wales embarks on the Kenilworth Castle on January 3 he will, at his own wish, travel as an ordinary passenger, and take his meals in tho dining saloon with other passengers. The only privilege will be the merging of two cabins on the promenade deck to make a private sittingroom, from which he will step direct on to the deck for the daily exercise he invariably takes. This simplicity compares more thanfavorably with the fuss and attention demanded by many millionaires who are trans-Atlantic travellers for only a few days' voyage, or the elaborate suites demanded by many Indian potentates. Rig game hunting will be an important part of the Prince's six weeks' tour. He will stay a few days at Government House at Capetown and thence go inland. He has expressed his wish to secure a rhmocerous, a lion, and a buffalo.
