Sir John Willoughby forwarded last week to Sandringham, as a present to the Prince of Wales, a table measuring nearly ten feet in circumference made by Mr Rowland Ward out of the hide of a rhinoceros killed in the recent Kilimanjaro expedition. The top of the table, which is beautifully polished and quite unique in design, is partially supported by horns nearly 20 inches in length.
