It is quite exception- al to retain officials so engaged after they have reached eighty years of age, but the reason why Mr. Hicks was allowed to remain is doubtless due to the fact that during his forty years of active service he has never made a mistake, and the successive. visits of Ii, M. Inspectors have invariably •re- stilted, in . the declaration that his books have been perfectly kept. In a recent letterfrom the Registrar -Gen- eral, who wrote in reply to • Mr." Hick's announcement of his resigna- tion,: it • was stated that the ' duties had been creditably performed'dueing his long period of service, Througlaotit the whole of his official, career Mr. Hicks • has .proved himself a niost courteous and considerateof fiver, and if anyone called at his office when he was away ho would go.to that person, no matter how far the distance was, so as to obviate the necessity of their calling again.

Not Golf, Are Among His Pas- times—Squire of, Sandringham. No 'European sovereign is so much a Ulan of the open air es the King of Englund, and since: be came to the throne lie has seemed to live even' more and more out of doors, says an English writer, His Majesty's health is excellent evidence of the good 're- sults which follow abundant exercise and much fresh air. He was sixty- eight years old last month,, but with increasing; years he retains his' sur• prising lvigor of mind and body. He is singtilarly energetic, though not. active iie the- sense of one who walks rapidly and far, When there is no- thing better available , for an out-of- door occupation he does not despise the gentle game of croquet, though he has never fallen a victim to. golf. He is not afraid of rain, and my observation leads to the belief that he Actually revels in the brisk fresh- ness of a heavy shower. He hardly ever usesan umbrella, or, at least, 1 cannot remember having seen him do so. For life out .of doors he pre- fers clothes which .will resist the rai,. but he does notseen to like a.mackin- tosh. Clad in a. long cloth cape, which completely covers his other clothes, he scornsto take shelter from even a tropical downpour, He likes . the sea not only in its fairer moods, as when lie is yachting in pleasant weather on the Solent, but also when he can watch it • in storin. Often I have seed him out on a small terrace overlooking the Bay of Biscay when the. waves were rolling savagely in towards the shore. The rocks threw up,the spray in fine clouds as the Ring stood watching. the sunset be- yond the Cote des Basques, and en- joying the salt wind that came in front the stormy Atlantic. .On his tour abroad tbis year the King was perpetually out of doors, in the royal yacht, or ashore in .looter -cars or car= riages,.''.He picknicked wherever he• could, even at Girgenti and Pompeii. Malta was entirely traversed in the. Duke of Connaught's motor -car.. . HisrMajesty is, indeed, at hisbest when he is at home in. Norfolk. Then. • he . becorries one of the Norfolk_ farm- ers,' and the people of King's Lynn • delight, to: name him "The Squire of Sandringham." Those of us who Most- highly appreciate His • Majesty for his great gifts of statesmanship, for his • illustrious position among Europeans rulers, for his power, as M. Delcasse puts it, of doing the right. thing in the right way tat the • right time in the right place, have only a slight idea of. the deep affection which is entertained for the ;King as squire. He is the best of landlords, of course, but he ie also a strict one. No public- house is allowed on His Majesty's; property. '••Instead, he has provided • club -houses • in. every; . village on the estate. ' The King is not in.'the least selfish in the enjoyment of his Norfolk es- tate. • Even on days when ifig shoots are toward, with. perhaps the famous . Horseshoe covert to wind up the. day,; there • :are few 'restri.etions . imposed. ` Not only le' :Sandringham one. of the most perfectly. managed .properties in England, but it is on.e of the most open..:..

Since .His Majeety went to Marien- bad he has lived in the •open: He will continue to lead an open-air life till the turn of the year. He has been shooting grouse and deer in Scotland. After that, in the south, he has been busy among partridge and .pheasant at friends' houses, such as West Dean Park, Moulton Paddocks, and else- where. There are still to. come the busy, happy, days when he is always out of doors, no matter the weather,, at Sandringham, : -His • Majesty has has: not attempted to be • a crack shot like his friend ' and cousin the late Dorn Carlos or his lively nephew• the King of Spain. p ti . • n ' Fewaro more skilled in the man-. agement of a sporting estate.than His Majesty. His head keeper, Mr. Jack- son, constantly consults. him, and the . King' takes no mere surface interest the intricacies of game preserva- tion, with due regard to the ' rights of others. He arranges the' beats per- sonally and with much skill, and he enjoins a rather strict' observance of all the rules. ' At Windsor, when foreign sportsmen in the train of one or other motiarch are out, the King overlooks many ,quaint performances. For, himself he is a good, clean. shot. Ile has a sure eye, and if he does not perhaps welcome a spring of rocketers he does not refu.9e a hard shot when it. comes his'way.• His favorite shoot- ing kit consists of tweed, often grey in tint, a knickerbocker suit with a. long, loose shooting cape. Thus clad he is regardless of rain, dripping branches, and wet undergrowth. . In church work Mr. Ricks has been very assiduous. 'He was • elected churchwarden when he was only twee= ty-two years of age, and up to . the present he has, held office inthe Church of I''egland, and has . filled every posi- tion ‘open" to the laity with great suc- cess.
