The statement is again made on very
good authority that Prince Arthur will
soon succeed his father as Governor
General of Canada. II is said that this
is a reason for hurrying forward the
marriage, as one OF the conditions of
the appointment is that the holder
thereof must be married before taking
over the office.
II is said that when the Duke of Con-
naught gives up the Governor General
ship of Canada he will bring his public
career TO an end. The appointment Of
Viceroy Of India has been offered to
him. but he has declined it. as also he
is said to have declined to be the first
representative Of the King in Ireland
years old and intends to pass most Of
his time at Bagshot Park. where he
will establish a stud and raise horses
Of type likely to be of service to the
army.
