FÄRMERS' “BACKS TO THE WRONG JUDGE IN ACADEMY
WALL"
GUESTS AT WINDSOR,
Windsor-Empire farmers, to the number of about 200, have spent a busy day here.
They were unfortunately un- able to see the interior of the castle, ab the State Apartments are being prepared for their Majesties' Ascot guests. The visitors, however, were conducted over the castle grounds, up the Round Tower, and into the Albert Memorial and St. George's Chapels, Later they were the guests of Sir' Abe Bailey at lun- cheon at the White Hart Hotel, when the following telegram was received from his Majesty:-
The King sincerely thanks the farmers representing the Dominiona assembled to-day for their message of loyal and affectionate greeting, His Majesty hopes they will enjoy | their visit to windsor, and much looks forward to meet- ing them on Tuesday next. (Cheers.)
Lord Lovat, Under-Secretary for the Dominions, presided at the luncheon, and read a letter from Sir Abe Bailey, who was
prevented by his doctor's orders from being present.

ART ON THE HOARDINGS.
Prince Arthur in his speech re- joiced that the study of the fine arts is, as a recreation, becoming more and more within the easy reach of the people.
Declaring that no greater good could accrue from the conference than that the British public should know the Indian princes as they really are, he said:
We in India know that "The Daily Mali" has the welfare of this great Empire deep at heart. I feel Bure that "The Daily Mail" will send out the message that all patriotic Indians would wish them to issue.
I have arrived. I am supposed to have 26 rooms that are embowered with the rarest roses, filled with the rarest scents, and decorated with the richest marbles and ivories, and to be dressed in the most gorgeous raiment glittering with the most
