'PLAYS AT A CONCERT UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
The Duke Was playing the violin the
other night at a concert in Plymouth, but
the story of.how he got there is still more
interesting, • In the afternoon he had been:
Shootiug at the Cornish seat Of the Earl and
Countess of St. Germaine near Port Eliot,
,and•arrangements had been made to ap-
•
priee him in good time when the train for
s • •
Plymouth was signalled from the station
next to Port Eliot. The message, however,
failed to reach the Duke, who consecpiently
missed the train. A special fish train had
'been timed to pate the station shortly after-
wards, and by arrangement he was enabled
.to travel to Plymouth in the guard's' van of
this, in company with the guard. .
