Tho follow Ing Is the subbtanco ot an Interview with tho prluco ot Wales which Is to nppen shortly lu n London magazine. Thero Ib every reason to believe It Ib perfectly geti ulno and It Is undorstood to bo tho (Irs Interview In which his royal highness has been directly quoted; A correspondent who had been privileged to meet tho prince of Wales on moro than 1 ono occasion had an Interview with Eng land's future king nt Marlborough house, his royal hlghnebe' London rcsldenco, some days ago. The princo talked with great frankness concerning himself and his views on va rious subjects. It anyono ever deserved the aprellatlon of "a busy man" tho prince does, and thero ate few city merchants or business men who work harder than he does, and oven tho London public has 110 Idea of tho quantity of work ho gets through with In tho courso of a day. It Is only by following a most methodical arrangement that he Is able to do as much as ho does In the time, As a matter of fact, all his en gagements nre made weeks and sometimes months ahead, and every hour, nlmost every minute, Is mapped out for him. When tho correspondent was ushered Into hit study at Marlborough house the prince was seated at an old-fashioned pedestal writing desk, tho fao simile of the ono used by his father, thn lato princo consort, which was piled high with papers and docu ments of all descriptions. He woro a black rooming coat and vest, dark gray trousers, square-fronted collar, with a whlto-spotted black bow tlo and patent leather shoes, and In his fingers ho held tho Inevitable clgnr. His grettlng was kind In the extreme. It wns merely like n elderly business man, smiling a kindly Welcome to sonio young and daring In truder. I'rluee In Miitlcr-of-l'nct. 'Well, what do you want me to say?" wns his royal highness' query as soon as tho preliminary greeting wns over. The correspondent launched forth his questions, beginning with Inquiries about ihe numerous public dinners which the princo attended, nnd alluded to the pub lished statement thnt the prince held the record for obtaining tho largest sum ot money ever collected at ono banquet. "job; that's quite correct. I certainly hold the record In thnt respect," said tho prince, "And presiding nt dinners, etc., for the benefit of charities, especially Ma sonic ones, Is almost n pleasure to me. Tho only part which I do not llko about tho proceedings Is, It the dinner drags Itself out to n considerable length. Thnt I do not like, nnd when dining In private at home the meal seldom lasts more than an hour." "I havo read many times In reports of dinners, etc., at which your royal highness hns been present," said the correspondent, 'thnt you wero continually smiling during" the proceedings nnd seemed to be enjoying ourself very much?" "Yes, replied the prince, a shado ot weariness creeping Inlo his eyes, "that Is where I act. If only you know how ter ribly bored I nm by tho Inordinate length of some of these dinners nnd the speeches and how I am all the time longing to get nway, you would be really sorry for me, Hut, there, I must not say too much on that subject." "With regard to horse racing nnd bet ting your royal hlgncss?" "I think racing Is the finest sport In the world, and I only regret thnt it should be harmed by tho nmonnt of betting which goes on. Personally, I nm strongly nd vcric to the 'practice nnd I nlways use what Influence 1 possess to discountenance It amongst my personal friends, especially when It Is mado n regular practlco of nnd tho stakes nro large." "Thcro are many people who think that your royal hlghncfs has a very easy llfo of It, nnd thnt tho hardest duties which you have to perform aro attending stnte func tions." In Itcnllj- 11 tlusy Mnii. "Now, hero Is somo Information for you," snld the prince. "Do you know that I myselt see overy Jotter which Is addressed to mo nnd In the majority ot Instances dlctnto tho n.ply? Whon tho mall nrrlvcs In tho morning It Is opened by my secre tary's staff nnd sorted Into three croups letters from personal friends nnd relatives, those hearing on state nffalrs, and thirdly, begging letters nnd petitions and I make It my business to make myselt awaro ot tho contents of each. ThlB of Itself Is no light task, when you take Into consldern tlon the fact that each morning's mall con sists of somo htindredca ot letters, so that thoso who fay mine is an ldlo life malign mo." Asked his opinion on South African nf fairs ho smilingly nhook his hend and re fused to bo drawn out, hut ho said that ho should always remember with tho deepest nffoctlon end regard tho heroic conduct ot tho troops In tho campaign. 'Ono moro question," said tho corre spondent7" "What 1b your royal highness favorlto recreation? 'Shooting," he replied unhesitatingly, "there Is nothing I llko better than a good day's hunt. It seems tho only thing which takes mo out ot. myself nnd makes me for get tho cares and responsibilities of my position." Thcro was one more remark thnt the princo made which will he ot Interest ns It bears on tho America's cup, for, al though his royal highness bus not taken so much Interest In yacht racing slnco tho nrltnnnln, he openly confesses "there nre fow things 1 would llko to boo better than tho America's cup como home ngatn.
