THE KING’S HEALTH
GROUNDLESS RUMOURS ROUND OF ENGAGEMENTS His Majesty’s Vigorous Pursuits. Press Association—Copyright. (Received 10.25 a.m.) London, March 12. Veiled suggestions regarding the King’s health have circulated from irresponsible sources, perhaps with an insidious motive, but they have now ceased.
It would seem that their baselessness has been completely confirmed by the' strenuousness of His Majesty’s activities. It is generally recognised that these stories have no foundation in fact, but His Majesty lately 'has utterly disproved them himself by undertaking a round of daTy (engagements w’hich| misfit ’havte) taxed his predecessors. The apparent tirelessness of King George’s daily officialTtngagement list involves sometimes six or seven audiences, irrespective of informal daily conferences with officials, and the endues® routine of signing papers. Apart from engagements like the Buckingham Palace party to the Diplomatic Corps, he has now arranged a series of dinner parties at the Palace, two of which will be held on March 15 and 17. There are also- vigorous outdoor pursuits. '
The Australian Associated Press understands that the King st recent shooting parties, walked' miles, tiring out the other members of the party, in addition to which he 'has been playing vigorous tennis.
His Coronation programme will necessitate almost daily and nightly functions and a certain amount of travelling.
