CHILDREN'S FETE
THE KING'S GENEROSITY. MANY THOUSANDS ENTERTAINED. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, July 1. The King spent £30,000 on the Children's. Fete. The organisation was remarkable. There were ninety-six trains from 56 stations, and 1000 children were entrained every eight minutes. The whole wasi divided into nine sections, each being identified by special coloured caps and scarves. lEvery side-show was free. Ten "thousand children saw "Wild Australia," 24,000 the "All-Red Route," 50,000 the "Marque Imperial," and 30,000 the Pavilion. His Majesty the- King, in a message, declared that he and the Queen would ever remember the great gathering of children at the Crystal Palace. He felt that London might well be proud of her children. Their eagerness to carry out instructions and to uphold the credit of their schools, with their marvellous self-restraint, augured well for their own*.and the country's future.
