The Princess of Wales has, in sympathy with the recent opening of the New Extension Building of the Consumption Hospital, Brompton, signified to the Committee her willingness to become a patroness of the Institution and to allow a gallery in the New Hospital to be named after her Royal Highness. The first entertainment at the Brompton Hospital, in accordance with the new rule which permits summer amusements in addition to the long established weekly winter entertainments, was given in the lecture-hall of the new extension building last week, when the patients were much delighted.
