The King's official visit, as a guest-of the Queen, ends to-day, when he leaves Buckingham Palace and takes up his residence at Taplow Court, but he will spend some little time in England yet,—holiday-making in the company of the young princes and studying English industries and English ways, In his desire to study all phases of English life he has, during his stay at Buckingham Palace, paid a midnight visit to St. George's Street, London Docks—formerly knownes Ratcliff Highway. The street is, it is true, comparatively respectable in these days; but no doubt the detective officers, in whose hands he placed himself, gave him a glimpse or two of dockside life in the neighboithood. His shrewd questions and his sometimes startling comments render a tour of the sights of London in his company s decided pleasure. He has already visited St. Paul's and the Abbey, the Tower and the Zoo, and Kew Gardens and a host of other- places; and he has been down to Osborne, where the Queen paid him special honour. He is to visit Bdinburgh, Glasgow, and some of the great English towns before he leaves the country. ala
