Friday morning, and she will breakfast
and then proceed to Ballater. arriving at
Balmoral about o'clock P. NJ. The Queen
is in her usual health, except that she and
all the members of the royal family at
Osborne, andiall the court. have been more
or less upset by the great heat, which has
been really sweltering on the Solent. and
the Queen will be rrjoiced to get away to
the braring air of DeeSide.
Osborne is a trying residence in the

Courcelles station, which is within few

where he will reside with his suite and
probably with his uncle, the Grand Duke
of Baden. the other princely guests being

l understand that the Duke of Con-
| naugnt was most anxious that nothing
! should be done to press his claims to the
AideIshot command. It happened, how
ever, that no one was available with
stronger claims than himself. but it was
not until pressure was brought upon him
to accept the appointment that he allowed
himself to be nominated Sir Evelyn Woods
successor. The Duke of Connaught is a
very keen soldier and he will be quite in
his element at the head of the First Army
! Corps. but he recognized that the place
entails great responsibility and for the
next year his endeavor will be to devote
himself almost exclusively to his military
! duties.
