THE ROYAL VISIT.
PROPOSED ROYAL TROTTING MEETING. By Telegraph.—Press Association, Christchurch, May 15. A treat which is in store for the Prince of Wales was mentioned by the Mayor (Dr. Thacker, M.P.) to-day at the Mayoral luncheon, when he stated that the sportsmen of Canterbury were looking forward to the visit very keenly, and he hoped it would be possible to arrange a special afternoon trotting meeting, which would be called the Royal Meeting. Sir Andrew Russell, referring to the promised visit of the Prince of Wales, said that before the New Zealand Division left Germany the Prince had come down and spent three days there, and saw everyone. He went round to the different brigades, and did exactly as everybody hoped he would do,.namely, he saw as many of the men and officers as he could, and thoroughly appreciated his visit. Sir A. Russell added that it had been an enormous advantage to the future [King to be able to mix with everybody, both men and officers, of tlie British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand Forces and others from all over the Empire.
