While in Egypt, "London Opinion" relates, the Prince of Wales happened to bo looking tho other way, r.nd so failed to notice tho very formal salute of a party of Australians. They thereupon deliberately "counted him out" in tho manner of a boxing referee, chanting "one —two —throe—and so on in unison. Ho turned round to seewhat the row was about, and then came back when his aide ■ ad inquired and explained the trouble to him. Tho Princo thereupon, in lieu of apology, gave the Cornstalks a dashing salute, and was then solemnly counted in again | -"ten—nino— eight"—etc., by the whole party, much to his amusement.
