Late King of England and the Prince of Wales Fire Story
An old tale describes King Edward VII and the Prince of Wales at a fire with the Duke of Sutherland. A reporter, gifted a cigar, pockets the wrapper and is offered another by the prince. Edward, about five feet eight, weighed around 200 pounds and favored hunting, farm life, and cigars. He aimed to patch quarrels and would be remembered as a peacemaker. Also notes Hughey Jennings seeking Jack Klenow from New York and the veteran’s baseball prospects.
