King Alfonso, at Madrid, Spaid, in a pigeon shooting 
match recently, killed 29 out of 30, and the ‘press dis- 
patches state that ‘“‘the last one fell outside the bounds, 
and His Majesty received second prize.’’ It failed to state 
how many were necessary to fall dead out to win first 
prize. We desire, firmly but kindly, to warn his youthful 
Majesty that he cannot possibly buy summer hats for his 
bride, nor even ice cream, out of the proceeds of his 
trapshooting winnings on such commonplace scores. It 
is much better to hold his job as King and trust to 
luck, than to ‘engage in the certainties of pigeon shoot- 
ing.
