With the Prince of Wales in Africa WE have before us an extremely interesting brochure, issued by Crossley Motors, Ltd., and C. C. Wakefield, Ltd., entitled " With the Prince of Wales in Africa." It contains a brief but concise account of our Prince's wonderful tour in Africa this year, together with several excellent illus- trations. From it we learn that His Royal Highness and his staff did much of their journeying by the aid of a fleet of Crossley cars, not only during the South African tour, but also on the occasions of previous tours—Australia, India, Japan, etc. The whole brochure is excellently produced, and is a souvenir of this historic event well worth obtaining—on which the nroducers are to be congratulated.
