KING OF SPAIN
VISIT TO AERO EXHIBITION. FORMALITY DISPENSED WITH. Rugby, July 20. The King of Spain made a surprise visit to the International Aero Exhibition at Olympia last evening. Dispensing with all formality, he paid his admission fee at the turnstile and had begun a tour of the show in company with an equerry before the exhibition officials were aware of his presence. He spent nearly two hours at the exhibition. King Alfonso will leave London on Monday for Spain. M. Bleriot, who in 1909 was the first man to fly across the English Channel, also visited Olympia yesterday.—British Official Wireless.
