IN College

But the truth Of the matter is
he was not bit good at passing
Examinations and plugged quite
ard, even in the open, which is
tontrary to the unwritten law
among the Oxford undergraduates,
hat he who studies must hide his
.dustry under a bushel and never
any chance appear to be doing
nything. He always preferred
rashy reading at college and is
uoted as having said that poetry
I'VE him a headache-evcn Shake
epeare.
Whether this particular yarn Is
rue or not, it indicates what is un-
questionably the truth, that the
Prince is anything but a prig and
cry much resembles the average
.'ritish youth of his age.
The Prince was born at White
Lodge, Sheen, on June 80, 1894.

6ventful childhood with his brothers

night he attended firemen's torch
light parade and on Sunday he went
to service In Trinity Church. Ac-
cording to the records of 1860, sew
eral accidents were reported on the
day of the great parade and the
"breakage of crinoline was, of
course, inestimable."
There still are a few persons in
New York and vicinity who have
vivid recollections of the night of
October 12, 1860-the occasion of
the brilliant ball given in the Aca-
DENY Of Music to the Prince Of
Wales, later to become King Edward
VII. From contemporary accounts
Of the magnificent affair there is no
doubt that the ball was the most
elaborate given up to that time by
residents of this city in honor Of
distinguished guest, and the prepa-
rations set the people agog for
weeks in advance.
The Ball
Memories of New York's welcome
to the heir to the British crown are
about to be rekindled for any who
we're at the ball fifty-nine years
ago, for the present Prince of Wales
has accepted an invitation to be the
guest of honor at a reception in the
historic building, at two o'clock,
next Wednesday afternoon. The
invitation goes to him from
William Fox, president of the Fox
Film Corporation and owner of the
theater. All the men and women
still living who attended the affair
in 1860 have been invited to be
present and make the acquaintance
of the grandson Of the man they
honored more than half century
ago.
Elaborate preparations to re-
create so far as possible the appear
ance Of the Academy, at Fourteenth
Street and Irving Place, as it was
on October 12A 1850, have been

for the navy in 1907 and entered
Osborne College in the same year.
In 1909 he went to Dartmouth Col
lege and was gazetted to H. M. S.
Hindustan as midshipman in 1911.
In the following year he went to
Oxford. He entered Magdalen freed
from the gold tassel of the noble
man. He chose his friends promis-
cuously and had no special priv
leges. He was educated with an eve
to becoming typical product of the
English school system. His rooms
overlooked the shaded beauties of
Addison's Walk and the .,assic Cher
we'll.
Likes Sports
If he was a plugger at school he
was also q fine sport. Like his
father, he is one Of the best shots in
England. He could ride a pony
when he was five, and he plays
cricket and football we'll. He is a
noted 'cross-country runner, and
when in Western Canada surprised
every one one morning by hiking
ten miles before breakfast.
AS soon as war was declared, he
wanted to be at the front. The
Queen was opposed to this at first,
and the Prince sulked. He is said to
have run away from school and made
a personal appeal to Kitchener;
which was turned down. Later the
implacable SIX" relented, and the
Prince was gazetted q lieutenant Of
the Grenadier Guards and allowed to
go to France as aide-de-camp to Sir
John French. He was made captain
in 1915 and joined the staff of Gen
eral Sir j. A. Murray, K. c. B., in
the Eastern Mediterranean. When
he left his old regiment and saw the
men march past before he went, he
burst into tears and said: II know
who is responsible for this. It's
Kitchener"
New-York tribune., 1919-11-16

The Prince approached New York
by way of Washington and Philadel-
phia. He had previously toured
Canada, much in the same way his
grandson has been following. On
October II he left Philadelphia by
special train for this city. In order
to enable it's readers to identify the
city's guest on his arrival incog, one
of the daily newspapers Of that date
published the following description:
'1n person the young Prince has
rather slim figure, which is always
displayed to the best advantage in
trim-fitting garments of the latest
style. He has his mothers profile,
and it has been said that in order to
see the contour Of his face it is only
necessary to look at the effigies of
the Queen upon an English sixpence.
His pretty chestnut hair is worn
modestly over a forehead which is
not sufficiently high to give an intel
lectual cast to his countenance, but
his thorough training and natural
parts give his face an intelligent and
prepossessing look. A we'll polished
pair of English walking shoes and
lofty crowned white hat, with fault
less light brown kids and a dainty
umbrella or walking stick, complete
the makeup Of the young gentleman.
The manners Of the Prince Of Wales
would form a good model for any
youth to follow. Modest, unassum-
ing, courteous and agreeable to all,
he makes host Of friends wherever
he goes
Naturally the big event Of October
II was the ball. The Academy was
lavishly decorated with flowers and
plants Of all descriptions. At one
end of the ballroom opposite the
stage an addition several feet in
length, decorated in pink and white.

who comes under his own title. The
personal charm of King Edward was
unquestioned. 1t made itself felt in
America when he was a youth of
eighteen. 1t was never to fail him.
Of the same line, plainly, is Prince
Edward, who has captured the af-
fections Of Canada with his engag-

ness toward every one.
"Bookish he will never be, not a
Beauclerc, still less British Solo

dent of Magdalen College, about him.

WINS AGAIN AT CHESS:

II anyone is in doubt that chess is
not fascinating game or that its
devotees are not enthusiasts he should
have been participant or spectator
at the contest of the Ottawa chess
team with La Sale at the rooms of
the Merchants Club in La Sale last
night.
Despite tho hot night and the even
ing after the night before" the low
ers Of the old classic game toiled out
the whole evening in playing. The c
tawa delegation was composed o.
Harry Funk, Oscar CARTRIDGE. Meyer
Frank and John d. Smith, and came
out very fortunate. winning all of the
six games played, r. A Hargrave
and his fellows are royal entertainers
and gave the Ottawa men delightful
evenings enjoyment. The contest took
place in the roof garden of the Kas-
kaskia Hotel, an ideal place, cool, in
the open air. 1t was unfortunate that
none of the ottawa checker players ac-
companied the chess players, so that
the expected contest at draughts
had to be postponed. The interest in
these games is not abating, and 1t is
planned that the La Sale men come
to Ottawa again for another bout or.
the boards in the near future.

BOOZE CRATER
GETS 500 CASH
BY FAKE ORDERS

The police and other officials in this
section are looking for a certain
"slicker" who took advantage of the
dry smell which took place July and
