A GENIAL PRESONALITY HUNTER, BRAVE SOLDIER, AND MODEST WITHAL. Our New Governor<Gieheral Who Will Visit Us Nest Week is Greatly Ad-} mired by Premier Asquith, and King George Places Great Re liance Upon Him. "There are few men," says Mr. As quith, the British premier, 'whom. the British empire could with wore difh- culty spare thas His Roval Highness, Wherever fate, or his duty, bas called him, our new governor-general has won golden opinions. And this is to be attributed to the map himseli and not to his rank. For it is easy for a prince to find flatterers, but hard for a prince to make friends. Battie has been the Duke's good fortune te) make friends on all hands, in ail countries, and among all classes. His geniality is the real thing. When Sir Robert Perks, the great engineering eountractor, who, from his long parliamentary eSper- ience, has a wide knowledge of men aud affairs in the old country, was in Toronto a few weeks ago, he told the Star Weekly that he regarded the coming of the Duke to Canada as aun "admirable appointment. It is bound to do good, And, as far. as the Duke personally is concerned, he has a very large share' Of the tact which disting- wished the late King Edward." KH is not generally known that the Duke of Connapght displayed very considerable prowess as a hunter of big game in Uganda, after be had re- signed the high commissionership of the Mediterranean in 1909. He went to Mombassa in East Africa to confront the lions and elephants of Uganda. In a hunting tour, which lasted ten weeks, and in the course of which he travelled considerably over four hundred miles; His Royal Highness mude the biggest individual bag of his party. His bag consisted of one. ele- phant, seven lions, fifteen rhinoeeroses, four bufialoes, one cheetah, and three hippopotami, besides thirty-three dif- ferent species of antelope. He can, therefore, claim to have been the first of his royal line to have met the king of beasts face to face and have slain higr, - King Edward, it is true, when in India, shot jungle tigers from a howdah on the back of an elephant, and King George, when he was in India, shot in the same manner, as the guest of one of the Indian rajahs, one of the rare lions which are pre served with such eare in India by the rajuhs for the sport of themselves and their especially honored guests. But very' different is the advancing on foot? towards the lion--in fact, literally "bearding him in his den' --which is exactly what the Duke did in Africa. No expedition of the kind was ever less-advertised. One remembers the hunfing feats" of "Mr. Roosevelt in the same territory, with which two Temi- spheres were made to ring. And Wins ton Churchill was photographed, as a frontispiece for his book, 'My African Journey," posing beside the carcase of a Saughtorar rhinoceros, with an express rifle under his arm. But it is gaid that the duke, who dishkes any- thing like self-advertisement, impressed on the members of his party that he did not wish any fuss made about his big game expedition. Still, things will out, and the nerve and courage which he displayed during those ten weeks have now become, more or less, public property. Aud thé are as characteristic of the man as is the modesty which endeay- ored to keep the expedition a semi-ses eret. In Egypt, where he commynded the brigade of guards which formed part of Lord Wolgeley's army, that crushed the rebellion of Arabi at Tel: el-Kebir, he exhibited a coolness and resource which commanded the admir- ation both of his fellow-officers and of the men. whom he commanded And during his seven years' soldering wn- der the scorching sun of India, he cheerfully submitted to all the hard: ships 'which soldering in that trving land involves. The duke has always a very simple, winning way 'with sol-[ diers, for they knéw how to appreciate modesty in their superior officers, and their hero is always one who "does not advertise." His self-effacement~ or, rather, his self-suppression--is, in- deed, one of his finest gifts. He thought himself badly treated by be ing given the Mediterranean high com- missionership, where the guthority was of a phantom kind, but he resigned the office, when he found out that he had heen given a command which did pot exist, without any undignified re- monstrance. And, although the 'two were on good terms, the duke never was as close in King ¥Vdward's confi dence in affairs of state as he was in Queen Victoria's, Nevertheless he knew how to accommodate himseli, in a manner of befitting dignity, to the altered condition of affairs which came about when hin brother ascended the throne. . But King Ueorge places, and with justice, great reliance on the sound judgment of the brave soldier, the Keen sportsman, the exemplary busband and father, the gentleman of the very first water, who . will visit our city on Saturday.
