London, December 4, WHILE HUNTING WITH the Belvoir hounds, the Duke of Glou- ́cester has a bad fall and it is feared that he may have broken his

collar bone.

An X-ray examination at the Melton Mowbray Hospital con- firmed that His Royal Highness fractured his" collar bone.

It is stated that the mishap will necessitate the cancellation of his visit to Norway on Monday for the funeral of Queen Mand It is probable that the Duke

of Kent will go to Norway instead of the Duke of Gloucester. The Duke of Kent is cancelling his social service tour of the Midlands for next week.

It is learned from a member of the hunt that the Duke of Glouces- ter's horse stumbled and fell after It had taken a jump. The Duke also fell and the horse rolled partly on him.

The stumble was due to the fact that the ground was very soft and slippery.

It is understood that the Duke may have to rest. for two or three weeks. He has had eleven previous mishaps while riding mostly while" hunting-Reuter.
