ACCIDENT TO PRINCE OF WALES.

DAI LY HERALD'S COMMENT. (Received tins day at 10.25 a.m.j LONDON, Starch IT. The “Daily Herald” in a leader, says the British nation is getting very tired of reading about the l’rince of Wales’ riding accident. It feels, firstly, that he is a pluc-ky fellow, but if he cannot stick on a horse better lie ought to give un trying; secondly, that it is time ho took life more .seriously, instead of hunting and steepleeliasiiig by day and dancing by night. .It is excusable, perhaps, in a very young man, but be is old enough now to devote his energy to occupations more -worth while. Along as he fills the important position he should behave accordingly and he should not rashly endanger his life.

He was happily, cheerily -talking with a few visitors who were admitted. He inquired of the wellbeing of the riders who fell m the race. ... It is definitely stated the horse did not kick him. His injuries were the result of the fall. He is not returning to London to-day, further rest being advisable. It is understood the Prince Ims not yet seen the widespread chorus ol appeals in the press urging him not to participate in steeple elmsing, and m point to point races. They will be brought to his notice later. Me must wait and see their effect, said an ofheial in close touch with him.
