RETURN OF THE PRINCESS OF
WALES:

The Princess of Wales, aocompanied by the
Princesses Louise, Victoria, and Maud of Wales,
arrived at Port Victoria pier, Sheerness, on Saturday
morning, in the Royal yacht Osborne, Commander
the Hon. Assheton G. Curzon Howe, after an absence
of three months in Denmark, the visit of the Royal
party having been prolonged on account of the out-
break of measles among the young Princesses and
their cousins at Fredensborg. The Royal party left
Denmark on the previous Thursday afternoon, and
travelled by rail to Flushing, where they arrived on
Friday evening, and embarked on the Osborne,
which was waiting to receive them. The yacht had a
very smooth passage across the North Sea, but on
nearing the English coast speed had to be slackened
on account of the fog, which delayed the arrival of
the vessel by about an hour. She rounded the
Garrison Point at nine o'clock, flying the Royal
Standard at the main, and proceeded direct to Port
Victoria Pier, where she was safely berthed by 9.25.
The ships-of-war in harbour were dressed with mast-
head flags, and a salute of 21 guns was also fired in
honour of the Royal party by the Duncan, flagship of
the Commander-in-Chief at the Nore. The Princess
of Wales and her daughters disembarked at a quarter
to twelve, and were received at the pier by Vice-
Admiral Charles L. D. Waddilove, Commander-in-
Chief at the Nnre ; Flag-Captain Arthur Cecil Curtis,
of her Majesty's ship Duncan; Flag-Lieutenant the
Hon. F. Spring Rice, R.N., Colonel T. P. Berthon,
R.A., Commandant of the Garrison; Brigade-Major
J. Spencer, RA.., and other officers, and by Mr. Myles
Fenton, the general manager of the South-Eastern
Railway. The Royal party then took their seats in
the special train, which left Port Victoria for Charing-
cross at noon, amid a salute of 21 guns, fired from
the Royal Artillery from the Gun Wharf Battery. A.
few minutes before one the train arrived at Charing-
cross, where their Royal Highnesses were met by the
Prince of Wales.

AN English lady of great beauty, who was an
ardent admirer of Ireland, crowned her praises of it
at a party by saying I think I was meant for an
Irishwoman.—Cross the Channel, madam, renlied
Lover, and millions will say you were meant for an
Irishman
