Last Nov. 9th, on the occasion of the shoot held in honor of King Ed- ward's last birthday, at Sandringham, a press photographer accompanied the royal party daring their visit to the different coverts. He took a photograph of the Hon. Monta Guest, who was a great friend of the Ki-z, scoring good-bye to the Queen bet entering a field leading lo one of the finest coverts on the estate. Then he took another phetograph of Mr. Guest entering the field. A few ouun'es aftzgwanrds Mr. Cuest droppel dcad of syncope. The photographs, which have pever been published, were only taken by chane:. Not long ago a photographer was sent t¢ Paris in a train which left loodon immediately in frout of the train by which the late King was traveling on a continental holiday. Eouiewhere near Tonbridge there was a railway smash, ard the photographer was in the train which was smashed up. Fortunately, he was mninjured, and he was, therefore, enabled to come straight back to London and arrive at his office with the photographs about an hour after he had left the office for three weeks. : : Soon afterwards (ne same man war sent to France for a big Sunday race mecting. All went well until he ar- rived within a few hundred ¥ards of Calais, when the cross-Channe| steam er Le Ncrd, on which he was crossing struck the mud somewhere near the Calais harbor, and there were weitd scenes, which ended in the passengeis being carried ashore by luggage-por- ters. The photographer manoeuvred so well that he was the third man car ried ashore. The consequence was that he was able to obtain some very re markable pictures of the other pas sengers being carried ashore after him Needless to say. he did not go to the mce-oeeting. He came back to Lon dow with the photographs of an extra ordinary, if comical, scene of rescue. A men who went all the way from london to Constantinople fo take photographs of the ceremonies attend- ing the accession of the new Bultan, found himself, after {wo days of stren- uous effort, situated at the top of a irce immediately facing the palace, from which the new Sultan was to drive. He bad just.taken some pic- tures of a row of soldiers with ther rifles at the salute. Then. after he bad taken some very fine photographs of the pew Sulian leaving his palace, some high official saw him at the top of the tree. He was pulled down, and it was only by inches that he missed falling on the bayonets of the nfs which he bad photographed not long before. But he got his picture back to Loodon all right. The first press photographer to tra- vel in an aeroplane in England was a member of The Daily Mirror staff, who, the day after poor Charlie Rolls died st Bournemovth, flew with Gra- hame-White. His "news instinct" was such that he wanted to take & fo o graph, from an aeroplane, of the spot on which Rolls fell. When the aern- plane flew over the chalked circle into which Rolls had endeavored to de- scend too quickly, the pnctographer leaned forward, and, in his anxiety. knocked his foot against the lever with which White was controlling the whole machine. As a consequence, the aeroplane fell fifty feet. "Don't do that again!" said Grahame-White "No, I won't!" said the photographer. if they had fallen thirty feet more, iobody knows what would have hap- ened, for they would have struck he ground. > For the purpose of obtaining photo- graphs of the young sons of the pres- ent King at Balmoral during their re- cent holiday, a press photographer who had been specially invited, several days with the royal family in and about the Balmoral estate.
