THE PRINCE’S NICKNAME.
The departure of the Prince of Wales for Africa, has been chosen as the psychological occasion for a eulogy which appears in a Munich paper, and which is being used extensively in the German press (says a “Star” writer). It is an interesting and appreciative study of the prince, both as a man and as heir to the throne, by “S. Zimmermann, London.” There is an interesting reference to the niokname “Sardine,” which was applied to the Prince when he was at Dartmouth, and it is suggested that this was prompted by the fact that he was the smallest and the slimmest of the boys there. I had always understood, however, that it was the oatxvme of “Whales” —his colleagues at Dartmouth deciding that the obvious thing was one of the smallest instead of the largest fish for a nickname.
