Prince Albert, with the Duc de Nemours and the Due d'Aumale, went out shooting in Windsor Park on Wednesday. After luncheon on the same day, the Queen and Prince Albert went to the Home Park at Windsor, where the Prince, some of the ladies in the Royal suite, and others of the Household, amused themselves in skating upon the piece of water on the North side of the footpath leading from Adelaide Lodge to Datchet. At one time many persons were congregated in the public footpath to admire Prince Albert; but the Park-Keepers in- timated the Queen's wish that passengers should go forward without stopping, and they instantly complied.
