Boys and Girls; The Duke was particularly interested in a number of trophies won in boxing competitions and watched boys and girls at physical exercises. In the billiard-room he posed for a photograph to be taken and laughed heartily when several of the youngsters jumped as the flash powder exploded. Finally, he was photographed with a group of voluntary workers, including Mr. Roy Pinsent, chairman of the Union Executive Committee, with whom he chatted for some time. Hundreds of people had gathered outside the building, and when the duke left, after wishing Mr. Johnstone the greatest possible success in the work, there were resounding cheers. The duke went by road to Melton Mowbray, traveling via Coleshill and Atherstone.
