Mr MacDonald Tells How He Met Lord Dawson.
(United Presa Association.— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received November 23, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, November 22. U jTVURING my first visit to Buckingham Palace,” declared JLJ Mr MacDonald at the Royal Society of Medicine banquet, “ while I was dazzled by the brilliant uniforms, I noticed a man, whose dignity indicated that he had been born there. He asked me if I remembered him, and when I replied in the negative he reminded me that years ago a medical student and myself went out together into Cower Street after a most respectable dinner. Looking at me anxiously, he asked: * How much have you got?’ I glanced hurriedly at my few odd coppers and replied: ‘How much have you got?’ Our combined wealth was insuflicient to save us from walking to Holloway Station. Who could have forecasted that we were not to meet again until we were the'King’s guests? He was Lord Dawson, the King’s Physician.”
