A clerk in his office was transferred at a day's notice and the Director was left shorthanded for several months. A copyist was engaged on daily pay to assist in disposing of the work, but his salary was disallowed on the ground that the previous sanction of Government had not been obtained. Modern Society says:-Though he is not racing this year the King not only follows the events of the Turf with the greatest interest, but has been winning large sums. His Majesty's method of betting is extremely simple. Three of his intimate friends, who are regular attend ants at all race-meetings of consequence, are in his confidence. To one of these a wire is sent indicating the horses to be backed, and this telegram is invariably signed Sandringham, The recipient of the Royal command puts the sum on in his own name, and one or two book makeis, who have settled heavily on Santor would be surprised how large a sum is going to the King.
