London, July 15. Though the Air Ministry experts are vory busy examining the en- tries for the International Acre Exhibition, which H. R. II. the Prince of Wales is to open at Olympia to-morrow, with a view to proventing the disclosure of Air Force secrets, the Show will be the most 'comprehensive and the most valuable eyor staged.
The Air Ministry's own stands are amongst the most attractive in the Exhibition, its models re- presenting the whole history of
aviation.
The remarkable diversity in the size of the machines is one of the indications of the progress made in flying. For instance, anong sixteen secret machines are small Vickers intercepter fighter, rumoured to be capable of a speed of 360 miles an hour, and the "Parnell Peta" seaplane, which capable of being stowed in subrauring,

What was described as a "bad case" came before Mr. E. W. Hamilton, at the Central Magis- tracy this morning, among the usual batch of traffle aunmenses dealt with every Tuesday morning. The case was one in which a Chinese youth was summoned for not having full control of the car un the island road.

Although the operation, carried out was of a bigger nature than would seem to have been inlicated in the bulletin issued on Saturday, it was of a very different nature. from that of last December when the King's whole system Was poisoned.

Sir Hugh Rigby.and Professor Wilfred Trotter were the surgeons actually responsible for the opera- tion, which, it is strongly hoped, will prepare the way for complete recovery.
