The prince is not at all as much of
clubman as was the king when
prince of Wales. Indeed, the only
club the prince frequents is the MARI
borough, to which institution all his
personal friends belong. The prince is

Buckingham palace, given by Queen
Victoria, his royal highness remarked
to him humorously: Il like sitting next
to you, Sir Arthur, for, like myself,
you prefer thinking to talking"
The prince, it is well known, has a
very great dislike to ceremonial, and
wishes to be treated, as far as is con.
sistent with etiquette, as an ordinary
guest wherever he stays. A rather
characteristic story is told of his royal
highness when he was guest at a
country house-party some years ago.

There is younger son of we'll

was what might be termed con-
firmed club loafer. On one occasion
he overheard the prince make some
remarks about the amount Of time
many young men nowadays wasted in
clubs. Two months later the son of
the peer in question had sailed for

LORD CHARLES BERESFORD.

Lord Charles BeresfOrd to-day hauls down
his flag resigns the command of the Channel
feet and leaves. presumably forever the ac-
tive service of the British navy to which he
has belonged for fifty years. of which for n
number of years he has been the most corspic-
uous officer. and in which he has lust compIeted
the unprecedented record OF nine continuous
years of active sea duty The circumstances
are so peculiar as TO be practically inexplicahle
The invariable rule has been for a chief officer
of the navy TO hold his command-nominaIIy
'at the Kings peasure'-for three years unless
he is promoted 10 a more important place un-
less he reaches the age Of compulsory retire
ment or unless he wishes to retire But not
one Of these conditions exists Beresford has
held his command OF the Channel feet only
two years. he is not being promoted, his age
limit is still two years off. and he does not wish
TO retire There must, therefore. be some ex-
traordinary reason for the action of the Adj
miralty in thus retiring him and in thus in
curing danger of a repetition of Nelson's his.

General Bingham preached a lay sermon last
Sunday on the failure Of the average man to do
his duty as citizen and the consequences
thereof in the form of maladmnistration and
other political ills. He said

All of you ought to read the daily newspa pers.
That's the way to find out things about your

you don't take any real interest in politics there
