vlaer however, that Sir Ernest comes
into closer touch with the sovereign
than probably any other private Iudi-
Yldual ever did, with the possible ex-
ception Of that other millionaire friend
OF Edward Wis the Baron de Hlrsgh.
II was said Of course, that Baron de
Hlrsch paid the then Prince OF Wales
debts and many folk believe that in
this respect, too. Sir Ernest has taken
the dead baron's place, but this ls prob
ably not literally true A nightly slt-
isfactory arrangements which he made
IN connection with his maiestys ln-
debtodncss IN various quarters did,
however cost Sir Ernest what. even 10

for In court circles II is said that the
scheme launched soon after his ma

would be the man they would turn TO.
IN fact, when an announcement was
made recently that the Prince of Wales
Was going 10 start racing stables az

affirmed that Sir Ernest was at the
back or the undertaking. il Is not
wholly out OF the question. either. that
the King might be glad OF am advance
