London. To-day.
The Duke and Duchess of Kent will accompany Their Ma- jesties the King and Queen to the Chinese Art Exhibition to- morrow, when they will be shown round by Mr. Quo Tai- in chi, Chinese Ambassador London. Other royalties will also be in the party.
There is every indication that the Exhibition will be an unpre- cedented success. Thursday was the first public day, and there were over 3,000 visitors, 1,000, more than visited the British Art Exhibition. This is believed to
