Empress" as a representative of his
father, seems to have turned his head
and is giving him an exaggerated idea
of his own Importance, and has made
him imperious and overbearing to all
around him.
During the voyage from India in the
Olive, he gave a good deal of trouble
and the officers were very glad when
| he disembarked. He had a nasty habiQ
of behaving as if he was ON his own
yacht and it was only owing to the in
/ liuence Of Mr.. T. A. Martin. his agent,
| that trouble was not frequent On one
occasion ships officer was hustled by
! one of the Afghan staff because the
| former in the course of his watch hap
pened to cross the path of the young
Prince who was walking on deck.
ON ANOTHER OCCASION
he sent up to the officers and insisted
on having some very rare fruit which
| belonged to a naval officer, and al
though informed that it was private
property did not desist. He also sent
orders to the commander Of the ship
to increase the speed of the Give, al
| though by reason of orders and prevail
| ing haze, it was impossible to do so.
| His suite. too. for the most part, were
not popular on board. They were not
too fond of soap, and to see some OF
mis- body guard attired in splendid ma
! tive uniforms with a railway inspec-
! tors old Overcoat or a pOstman's coat
over them was a sight to remember.
! But. the little friction Of the voyage
was nothing to that encountered when
the Indian Office officials went out to
! Spithead to meet the ship presented to
the Prince the programme OF his sub
| seQuent movements. For apparently
! no reason but sheer perversity he re-
! fused to do this, that and the other;
! declined TO be shown over the dock
| yard. refused to attend a luncheon at
! Government House, said he would not
| land at the hour arranged. and in fact
made himself very disagreeabie. The
officials were at their wits end. Every
thing. troops, royal carriages, and pro-
cessiOns-had been arranged, and the
! details settled, and il was only after
long and serious talk that the young
! man finally consented to do what he
was told. Everything thereafter went
off we'll and the Afghan Prince is now
the hero of the hour in London.
So far the reception at Windsor has
made the greatest impression on the
Shahzada's mind. He was most cor
daily received by the Queen, occupied
a seat at her side in the presence cham
Der and won golden opinions by his
behavior and princely bearing. lie
! gave Her Majesty a message from the
Ameer expressing the sincere hope that
the good relations between the two
Governments would be continued, and
! then addressed similar expressions or
his own feeling which the Queen, IN
the course of a few words reciprocated.
Since his arrival the ShahZada has
been in a perfect whirl of receptions
and visits, so much so that he almost
| broke down a few days after his ar
rival: but a days rest put him right
and he is to be seen daily driving in
the royal carriages and is always loudly
cheered by the eager sight-seers who
throng the streets.
The honor which has been conferred
upon
SIR HENRY IRVING,
bv his knighthood has drawn much
comment from all classes Of people.
The general feeling is one Of satisiac-
ton, and the acknowledgment OF let
ters of congratulatiOn which still con-
tinue to pour in upon the popular ac-
tor severely tax the resources OF the
Lyceum staff. 1t is understood that
the OFFER of knighthOOd was conveyed to
MIR. Irving in letter from Lord Rose
berry. couched in most warm and nat
tering terms. and that the prime min
lister expressed his personal gratiiica-
ton that he had the opportunity OF
proposing the first honor ever be-
slowed by the state on a representative
of the dramatic profession.
Cassie LOTUS has since her return
TO the Palace been crowding the the

sonations is one of Ada Rehan, in
Twelfth Night" and May Yohe and
Hayden Coffin.
AS already cabled, Mrs. Patrick
Campbell has not added TO her reputa-
ton by her appearance at the Haymar-
ket Theatre in Fedora" The critics
have been busily employed in inform
inc the management that Miss Olga
Nethersole would have been much
more acceptable in the role created by
Sarah Barnhardt. and that Mrs. Camp
bell should return to the cast OF The
Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith.'
