On Wednesday afternoon the King visited the Shire Horse Show
at Islington, and in the evening attended the Royal Amateur Orchestral Society's smoking concert at Queen's Hall. On Thursday the King and Queen and Princess Mary went to Oxford to see the Prince of Wales, and there was enacted the familiar but always charming episode of the delighted undergraduate giving luncheon to his family in his rooms and showing them over his college. The Court will spend Easter at Windsor, and on April 21st the King will go to Crewe for the first of a series of visits about the country. The Daily Mail of Thursday says that when staying with Lord and Lady Crewe the Sing and Queen will visit the locomotive works at Crewe and the potteries. Another visit will be to Bristol for the Royal Agricultural Show in July, and then there will be a tour in
Lancashire, including a visit to Blackpool. The King already has a closer personal knowledge of the Empire than any of his statesmen, and soon the same thing will be true of his knowledge of the industrial districts of the United Kinvdom.
