engaged In watching royal subjects. In
fact, the vigilance Of the different par

yesterday went into occupation of Reigate
Priory. which she has rented from Lady
Henry Somerset for a short season.
The princess two sons, Prince Serge
BoIatoff and Prince George Bolatoff, are
ardent students of aerial navigation. In
contemplation Of experiments in the park
with an aeroplane designed by Prince
Serge. all the fences round the grounds
have been considerably heightened, so as
to obstruct the view of too inquisitive
public.
An aeroplane which required two rail-
way lorries to convey it from the station
has already arrived. Great secrecy is
maintained by the two princes and their
assistants as to its construction.
A press representative, however, learned
that the principle of the machine is sim

more reliable. than other aeroplanes
which have been before the public.
1t is also claimed by Prince Serge Bola-
toffs friends that the aerOplane is fitted
with a device which will enable it when
struck by vagrant air currents to regain
it's equilibrium imm adiately. Should the
prince meet with success he will attempt
a flight across the English channel.
