KING GEORGE HAS BUSY TIMES AHEAD Goes to Scotland Hunting
 Next Month ENTERTAIN ALPHONSO Tn September He Will Begin Prepar- ations for Trip to India, Which
 Will Be Full of NOta-
 ble Events
By PHILLIP EVERETT

uous round of strenuous pleasures, the visit to Ireland, the investiture of the Prince of Wales at Canarvon castle, and the visit to Scotland, King George is now enjoying a spell of comparative rest, but his travels will not be over for many months yet Early in August he vii, visit Moy Hall near Inverness, to shoot over the famous grouse moors of The Macintosh of Macintosh, 18th chief Of the Clan Chattan.
 As the Prince of Wales King George shot over the moors and made record score in one day. Every morning at Moy the piper marches round the house play ing Scottish airs, while in the evenings, after dinner, he discourses music in the drawing room, where stands the table al which Prince Charlie dined after the bat tie of Culloden. the sword worn by Dun- dee at Killiecrankie. another that be- longed to Charles l., and gold watch which belonged to Mary Queen of Scots.
 F rom Moy the King will probably go to
 Eaton Hall. the famous country seat Of the Duke and Duchess of Westminster, where he will meet the King and Queen of Spain. King Alphonse Is coming to Eaton to celebrate the annual Eaton polo week. being daring and splendid player of the game.
 He was there for the same purpose year ago. and daily the people of Chester watched his skillful play and warmly ap- plauded him. The King enjoyed himself like the boy he really is, and it was amusing to hear their shouted com ments on his play such as Go it, Phonsy," and Good old Phonsy." The Grandees of Spain would have been hor- rified to hear the vulgar people thus speaking of their sovereign, but Alphonse vastly enjoyed it. Last year the Queen distributed 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 de- tails of his coronation at Delhi will be submitted to him.
 No official programme of that grea. event has yet been made public, but prep q ra tions are already in full swing. and none too early, for they involve the re- of the city of Delhi, roads, streets, railroads.
 King George will be the first English sovereign to be hailed in India with the title Delhi Ke-Bashah, and like Napoleon the Great, he will perform the act of crowning himself to impress 1t upon tne minds of the natives of India that no llv- ing mortal is worthy of carrying out this
 act. Tn England he is King by the grace of l.- l,se eAla nat t,
 the constitution, a f1gurehead without any real power representative and ser-
 want of the people, but he is Emperor of India because he chooses to be and In the eyes of the natives he possesses d.
 most supernatural powers.
 Special crowns are being made for the
 King and Queen and these will be far
 more gorgeous than those worn in Vest minister Abbey, for these crowns are to
 give the poor natives of India an idea of the power and enormous wealth of their Emperor. The coronation itself is to take
 place on December 12, but the King and Queen will be in Delhi from December to December Is. The King then leaves
 for a shooting expedition to Nepaul. He will be the guest in a shooting camp or the Maharajah. Her majesty will remain
 at Agra. Among the ceremonies fixed is a state entry into Delhi, presentation of the inevitable addresses, and the recep- ton of several thousand Indians in a pa vilion on the historic Ridge, where the British camp was during the days of the great mutiny 50 vars ago.
 Ruling chiefs are to visit the King dur ing December 8 and g. His majesty is anxious to come In personal touch with them, and for these two days he will oo little but engage In conversation with the rulers. This is thought to be q brilliant stroke of policy, due entirely to the Kings perfect comprehension of the whole In- dian problem. It is hoped to make per- manent the good effects of his visit to In- dia. The King will not return tbe visits. In that respect his place will be taken by Lord Hardinge, who, when the King steps ashore at Bombay, ceases to be viceroy and becomes simply governor general.
 The durbar takes place on Tuesday De- cember 12, and will be witnessed by at least 5000 people. The scene will be over- whelmingly splendid even to the Indian mind, which expects a great deal. There is to be, another day, a revisw of 5000 troops. The Imperial Service troops arc to be under the command of the respective chiefs.
 Calcutta children will sing their national anthem on their majesties' arrival in tha. oity III loui idhsudeeS, HuJdTdti, Mdrd and Urdu.
 The coronation, with all it's festivities
 and splendor. will cost far more than the one just celebrated at Westminster and the people of India will feel the burden of it for many years.
 Remarkable notifications of births oc- casionaly reach the public health author ities in London-written sometimes in d large schoolboy hand, probably dictated to her son by mother, or by neigh bor.
 The following example is taken from the report for the past year, which has just been issued
 ITO the Gentlemen of the Guardians: I am taking my pen in hand. hoping you are in the best of health, as 1t leaves mother at present. and for me to say that she has had a baby girl according to the rules of the board of health; this is all at present with best rispects from Perce. It Is girl and she has got to have the name of Rose after mother, but father he don't hold with it. Excuse pencil; no more at present."
