PRINCE OF WALES
SOUTH AFRICAN TOUE RECOVERING FROM A COLD CAPETOWN, Feb. 1. The Prince of Wales contracted a cold on his journey to Johannesberg, but is now much better. After breakfast and a rest he played a round of golf at the Country Club with his equerry. It is deemed advisable that he should not go down the Crown mines as arranged. The train stopped to allow a visit to the battlefields at Belmont, Magersfontein and Moddor River. He visited the direct recovery process at the pulsator and the diamond cutting factory. Kimbcrley University girl students, desirous of presenting a bouquet at .Johannesburg on* behalf of their fel-low-students, were not allowed by the police to approach the Prince, but a seven-year-old girl slipped through the cordon and offered the buttonhole of carnations. The Prince of Wales shook her hand warmly, and the crowd cheered loudly at the courteous act.
The Prince of Wales in the evening, benefited by the invigorating air. He arrives at Bulawayo on Monday morning, where a golf match is arranged. He leaves at noon for Salisbury and Beira.
