OSCAR WILDE-LATEST
It has been ascertained on reliable authority that Mr. Oscar Wilde on leaving Midland Hotel at St. Pancras last week did not, as reported, proceed to Babbicombe, near Torquay, for the purpose of recruiting his health. As a matter of fact, Wilde since his release has never been near the South Coast. It is stated in a quarter where Mr. Wilde's movements are well known that he has joined his wife, and that, if not actually staying with her in the metropolis, has, at all events, taken up his residence until the end of the present week in some quiet and secluded neighbourhood in the immediate vicinity. According to the latest reports his health has visibly improved as the result of the change of air and surroundings, and he is said to take a very hopeful view of the prospects of his acquittal at the new trial, which commences at the Old Bailey on Monday.
WILDE IS IN GOOD SPIRITS.
Oscar Wilde has for some days past been staying with his mother, Lady Wilde, at her town residence in Chelsea. His health is stated to have considerably improved since his release from Holloway, and he has to a large extent regained his spirits. During the whole of the present week he has been busily occupied with his solicitors in preparing his defence. With the exception of his legal advisers, only Wilde's most intimate friends have been permitted to see him. The case is a possibility of its being finished on the second day.

His health is stated to have considerably improved since his release from Holloway, and he has to a large extent regained his spirits. During the whole of the present week he has been busily occupied with his solicitors in preparing his defence at the new trial at the Central Criminal Court next week before Mr. Justice Wills and a jury. With the exception of his legal advisers, only Wilde's most intimate friends have been permitted to see him.
The trial, it is stated, will be held under unusual circumstances and changed condition. Few of the original charges will be preferred, and it is further reported that several of the witnesses for the prosecution have eluded the observation of the detectives engaged to look after them, and are now missing.
