His Majesty the King was, unknowingly, the cause of a number of guests being absent from the jubilee dinner held in London by the Waitaki High School Old Boys’ Association. The circumstances were humorously narrated on Tuesday to a gathering of the Christchurch branch by Dr. A. J. Harrop, a member of the London committee. In describing the dinner, Dr. Harrop mentioned an imposing guest list and said that Lord Jellicoe, Lord Rutherford and Sir William Birdwood would also have been present had it not been that the dinner coincided with a Royal Court. “It was not our fault,” said Dr. Harrop. "It was the King’s, for we had arranged our dinner before the King fixed the date of Court. Of course, there Is no doubt that his Majesty had not heard about our dinner.”
