EXCELLENT PROGRESS MAKING

(Received this day at 12.25. p.m.' RUGBY, Aug. 25

An indication of the excellent progress which the Duchess of York and the infant Princess are making, is afforded to-day by the information that the Duke of York who motored from Glands to Balmoral early last evening, is expected to stay at Balmoral until Friday. It is understood that while at Balmoral he will discuss with the King and Queen the names to be given to the new Princess, and that in all probability the date and place of the christening ceremony will also be fixed. When he returns to Glamis Castle the Duke will immediately register the birth of his daughter with the Registrar, who is also the local Postmaster and general stores proprietor, When the Queen goes to Glands to see the Duchess, it is understood Her Majesty will take the Princess Elizabeth back to Balmoral with her. Sir Henry Simpson, the Duchess’ physician, who left Glands Castle today for a day’s grouse shooting with the Earl of Strathmore, will start tomorrow on a few days’ motor tour.
