The Prince of Wales has been en-
iovinq a day or twos angling on the
Sney, and. considering the untoward
circumstances, has procured fair sport
on the Duke of Richmond and Cor
don's stretches of that river. Prince
Albert of Schleswig- -Holstein, who has
been the guest of Mr.. G. Il. Balfour or
Newton Don, was angling recently on
the Earl of Homes Brigham reach OF

The Duke of Roxburghe is retaining
the Ednam House casts. which have
generally been let, in his own hands
this season, and with a view to better

ried out improvements in the bed of
the stream.
Burns Visitors
The statistics relating to the number
of visitors to the birthplace of Burns at
Alloway show that a fresh record has
been established. For the year ending
September 80 the total number of per-
sons who paid the 2 pence charged for
admission to the cottage was 56,96S, as
compared with 5000 in the previous
year. an increase of $50, or 2S14 more

year held the record. The busiest week
was the Glasgow fair week, when no
fewer than $3.50 passed the turnstiles,
compared with 1906 in the previous
year, and the busiest day was the Glas-
gov fair Monday, when 2733 passed the
turnstiles. At the monument the num-
ber of visitors for the year was 63,Oll
being an increase of 953. The number
for the fair week was 1859, and for
the fair Monday 1871. A feature of the
year was the large number of American
visitors.
Robert Paterson of Messrs. Pater-
son &s Newlands Glasgow, who is act
ing as secretary to and Is member
of the syndicate which Is carrying out
the exploration at the wreck of the
Spanish Armada treasure ships, has re-
ceived an encouraging telegram from
Tobermory. 1t states that eight guns,
also a chest.
Wreck Not Found
The sea being calm and the weather
fine, the work is still being carried on
vigorously. So far no portion, of the
wrecked ship has been located. The
chief difficulty which the explorers
have to overcome is the presence of the
large quantity of sand and Shiny mud
which flows into the bay at the point
where the vessel was blown up, and
the area, some 200 yards which has to
be probed. The syndicate are, however,
quite satisfied with the progress of the
operations so far and are hopeful that
they will yet discover the poop of the
vessel, in which. 1t is believed, not only
the treasure but the captains valua BILE
gold plate will be found.
