the Prince of Wales at Carnarvon Cas-
tie. and the visit to Scotland. King
George Is now enjoying spell of com

In August he Will visit Moy Hall.

chief OF the Clan Chattan.
AS the Prince of wales, King George
shot over the moors and made a re-
cord score in one day. Every morn

the house playing Scottish airs. while
In the evenings. after dinner, lie dis

Prince Charlie dined after the battle
of Culloden, the sword worn by Dun

which belonged to Mary >.ueen of
Scots.
From Moy the King will probably
go to Eaton Hall, the famous country
seat of the Duke and Duchess of West
Minister where lie will meet the King
and Queen of Spain. King Alphonso
Is coming to Eaton to celebrate the
annua! Eaton polo week. being a dar-
ing and splendid player OF the game.
He was there for the same purpose
n year ago. and daily the people of
Chester watched his skilful play. and
warmly applauded him, The King en-
ioyed himself like the boy he really
IS, and 1t was amusing to hear their
shouted comments on his play. such as
Go 1t. Phonsy!" and Good old
Phonsy" The grandees OF Spain
would have been horrified to hear the
vulgar" people thus speaking of their
sovereign. but Alphonso vastly en-
ioyed 1t. Last year the Queen distrih-
uted the prizes won in the polo
matches. and doubtless she will do so
again this year.
From the beginning of September
King George will have his hands full
preparing for his long trip to India,
and all the details of his coronation
at Delhi will be submitted to him.
No official program OF that great
event has yet been made public but
preparations are already in full swing,
and none too early, for they involve
the reconstruction of the city of Delhi.
roads. streets, railroads and sanitation
all being extensively improved.
King George will be the first sover-
eign to be hailed in India with the
title Delhi Re Bashah. and like Napo-
leon the Great, he will perform the act
of GROWING himself to impress it upon
the minds of the natives OF India that
no living mortal is worthy of carrying
out this act. In England he is King
by tho grace OF God. hound by his SOL
emn oath to respect the Constitution, a
fgurehead without any real power. Il
representative and servant OF the poo
pie; but he is Emperor of India because
he chooses to be. and in the eyes of tho
natives he possesses almost supernatu-
raj powers.
Special crowns are being made for
the King and Queen. and these will be
far more gorgeous than those worn in
Westminster Abbey, for these crowns
are to give the poor natives of India
an idea OF the power and enormous
wealth OF their Emperor. The corona
ton itself is TO take place on Deem

Maharajah. Her Majesty will remain
at Agra. Among the ceremonies fixed
is state entry into Delhi, presenta-
tion of the Inevitable addresses, and
the reception of several thousand In
dams in "A pavilion on the historic
Ridge, where the British camp was
during the days of the great mutiny
fifty years ago.
Ruling chiefs are to visit the King
during December S or Q. His Majesty
is anxious to come in personal touch
with them, and for these two days he
will do little but engage in CONVERSE

to be a brill. Mt stroke of policy. duo

The coronation with all It's festivals
