The members of the London County Council felt themselves highly honoured this week when the Prince of Wales paid a surprise visit to their meeting in thei County Hall at Westminster. As Duke of Cornwall the Frince is one of the largest property owners in South London, and be is naturally interested in the government of the Metropolis. He listened to the debate with close attention for an
hour,
Then he added: "It I obvioni why I cannot give an encore. I shall never forget my treatment on the Yale Blues," and in dead
silence sat down.
“Yale', Bhies, de The treatment," Major Taylor explained to a, Daily Express re- presentative afterwards, consisted in other people learning the Yale Blues from his demonstration, and drawing fees in connection with the immediately signing contracts and dance, to which the inventor cleine led he was entitled.
Major Taylor had hoped that the | Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing would pay him a substan- tial fee for the rights of the Tile trot," but he said later that fifty- nine teachers had made him a better offer by each paying him a fee to be taught the dance.
