UNDER WHICH FLAG?

Sir—The question is, which fiag-sta- j Hon would eimrm the Prince the most? ', Hard-headed railway people don't see ". the charm, and only view the problem 1 from the standpoint of "safety." To \ which we can safely respond, "piffle.' ■ ) I think if the Prince sees either station j he will recall memories of Petticoat Lane, j and it would lie a kindness to draw a curtain across the scene, tajce oile of tho | back lines, with a carriage or two between (there will bo a few light ones about that day), and push the train right • up to the Post Office triangle. Hero a .:| motor would await, connect with tho ,i train, the Prince transferring direct, or would it be unsafe for a motor to connect •; with one of our trains—are they so inco- ; hereiit in their movements? Nevermind, wo will suppose they would be under -' control. Tho train could be withdrawn, ! and, hey; presto! the Prince, mounted !- on his 'motor, revealed in Wellington's j only open space to all observers. My j suggestion, would make for regal disomy, . > and a diamatic entry into our metropoli- | tan midst, and save His Royal Highness ~ from the bad taste in his mouth which • would surely be for ever associated with the memory v[ one of the two stations ho was unfortunate enough to have seen. j —I am, etc., i HENRY BODLEY. )
