PRINCE AT POLO,
HITS THREE OUT OF EIGHT GOALS.
The Prince of Wales drove to the leper hospital near Maseru, which costa £20,000 annually.. Leprosy in Basutoland at one time was responsible for a death-rate of over 91 per thousand.
The Prince, who was in full uniform, inspected a special case of leprosy, and drove through the grounds, where he was received with cheers, bows, and smiles by the less seriously affected patients, who are all natives.
In the afternoon he played his first real "game of polo since the tour started, though he had a scratch game at Kano, Nigeria. He
played for. Maseru against Westminster, which he visited. The game provided some good hard polo, and play was of the highest standard.
