One OF his feet already has Inflammation
Of the liver, and the left lobe OF the
other foot is greatly enlarged. He has
large. intellectual heels, which extend
back to about the time Of Queen Anne.
He has made several efforts, through the
aid of surgical institutions, to rectify his
feet so as to have the instep on the top
OF the foot instead of giving the hollow
of the foot n convex appearance, He has
also spent a good deal of money in his
efforts to precede the calves Of his legs,
but all to no purpose. He has also had
several unsuccessful operations on his feet
for strabismus. He wore an African
explorers helmet with mosquito netting
on to it, and had n leather field glass at
tached to his person by means of a strap
Once he lost the cork out Of his field
glass while at Victoria. and had to get it
re6lled at a measly public house.
The duchess wore a barege dress, with
duchess tatting at the wrists and throat.
The panels were ned IL place by bastins
threads of n contrasting shade;-snd the
revers were drsped over illusion and
looped back with passementerie. Over
all this she wore a Macintosh and car
ried a dinner pail in one hand. She wore
a fore and aft checked steamer hat and a
green veil.
The duke has been travelling 30 much
that he is looking somewhat mussed up
and degaRe. In conversation with q news
paper man Of Port Townsend he said that
he had been eating railroad ~victuals SO
much that he feared his liver was af.
iected, and that possibly he had boil on
his stomach.
The duke is 4 fine conversationalist.
The duchess brought her work with
her, and will stag in Billtong some time,
they say. She sings some, and since her
arrival has made the perspiration stand
out on the brow of the hotel piano in q
way which has alarmed the proprietor a
good deal. Her grace sings the ballad

hopping into the high notes with much
precision aud a flushed face. Her grace

Der Of gents who heard her at the hotel
went down to the bar to wipe their over
charged orbs on the row of towels which
hang from the edge of the counter; also
to enlarge their ver,harged floating debt
at the same time.
The duke takes this trip in order to
get much needed rest prior to going
back and at once beginning the ardurous
task of being Duke OF C%onnaught and
Strathearn: also Earl of Sussex after
Moons and Duke of Saxony aud Prince of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Tuesdays and
FRIDAYS.
On the arrival at the pier seven lads.
ranging from six to seventeen wears of
age, who had been bathing at the time,
and bad not time even to put back the
cotton in their ears, on bearing the tug
approach. came forward in iull dress to
welcome the duke and give him the free
dom of the town. They then vocally re-
quested God to save the queen, unless
other arrangements had been made. and
afterwards resumed their bathing.
The military guard of honor, wearing
briei but highly infamed coats, now pre-
scented arms, and the mayor read a short
address OF welcome, while the duke was
looking after his luggage. He does not
fancy being entertained by the provinces
and says he wishes they would let up
on il.
In conversation with a reporter he
said: AT Bungola, Canada. a petty
official whose name at this moment es-

dine at his house, He said it would be
very quiet-no one else there, you know,
and all that. / told him | was tired and
so was Ouch; but no, nothing would do
but I must just drop in quietly and eat
a little dinner with them. 1t would
only take a few minutes and they would
never forget it. When we got there the
kraal was full of ~lunkheads that had
been asked to see the show. and a
coarse tradesman with whiskers in his
ears was holding a photograph album
on his knees as if it was a new born
child. He was a great coarse man. with
open face and pores. He was an under.

that ice is very high where he lives. His
card | still have with me. 1t reads as
