Albert TO be broken up. BY command OF
the King the work is to be done in
Portsmouth dockyard TO prevent the OBJ
iectionable hawking about of memen-

The Victoria and Albert was certainly
the most handsome OF any of the old
royal yachts, and ii was not to be won
dered at that the late Queen was so
passiopately fond of her. 1t was on this
yacht that Queen Victoria spent many
of the happiest of her early married
days.

the days OF their childhood, and II was
on her that they enjoyed. when they had
grown up, many of the most pleasant
trips of their lives.
The only drawback was that her cabin
accommodation was insufficient for pres
ent-day requirements, but she was ever
a splendid sea boat and a most comfort
able floating residence.
