PRINCE'S GOODBYE TO HIS HORSES AND DOGS
MELTON MOWBRAY FEARS THAT SLUMP WILL FOLLOW NOW
(United P.A. — By Telegraph—Copyrlghtj (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 12.33 p.m. LONDON, Monday. The Prince of Wales spent to-day among his horses and dogs, wandering through the stables and grounds, saying “Good-bye” to his favourite hunters, which he has decided to sell. They will be disposed of at auction uot privately. It is not known yet whether the Prince will continue tospend his leisure time at Melton Bowbray. His simple residence, Craven Lodge, within a stone's throw of he railway, has been one of his most favourite resorts.
The news of the Prince’s decision to sell his hunters created something of a sensation at Melton Mowbray Hotel-keepers and tradesmen who have prospered as a result of the town's popularity are afraid of a slump.
Melton Mowbray knows of nothing but hunting. The Quorn is its idol; pink coats, saddles and bridles are the trappings of its worship; its townsfolk are deeply sympathetic with the Prince in having to give up the sport
