The Duke of York's Second Daughter On the evening of
Thursday, August 21st, at Glands another daughter was born to the Duke and Duchess of York. The succession: to the Throne is thus made more secure than ever.- Had the baby been a boy he would have been third in the succession ; the new -Princess is fourth in the succession. Rejoicings in this happy event have been universal and genuine. The Duke of York, by his unremitting and modest performance of public duties, has amply confirmed the popular affection which he began by enjoying as the son of his father. The Duchess of York has captured hearts everywhere by her grace, vivacity and generous disposition. We cannot hope anything better for the new Princess than that she will grow up happily among the traditions which seem to be assured to her.
