TRIBUTES TO EXPLORERS

RUGBY, October 24, The Prince of M ales dined 1 with famous explorers and travellers last night, when he presided at the Rotary dinner in London to the National Geographical Society. The Prince recalled that the Society had been associated with most of tlie great British explorations of the past century. He said that tlie more fortunate ones amongst them who had been in most parts of the world on various explorations—scientific, sporting, or photographic—and who have had an opportunity of straying off the beaten track for a few days or weeks, have been able to understand what the great explorers of the past have had to endure. He took his lint off to them. Exploration had a great practical value that Britishers and also foreign explorers had not been able to develop and to provide opportunities for people wlio would not have had them if the explorers had stayed at home.
