meat of Cambridge, Mid its ancient learned
university, had culminated with the noisy, but im-
prteuve and truly Pkglish scene in the Senate-
house, they were much mistaken. It was only
then commencing, it continued all night, and no*
shows even but slight symptoms of abatement. If
the Prince and Primus get through it all without
exhaustion, it will segue as well for the sanitary con-
dition of royalty as the most loyal of the people
could wish. From the Senate-house the royal
party proceeded to Peterhouse, to dine with
r the Vice-Chancellor, and it was with some diffi-
culty that even the reserve of A's kept the popular
enthusiasm within sufficient bounds to allow fres
passage to the royal carriages. A small wort of
the Kimboltons presided the royal carriage, but
the efficiency of the London police rendered their
duty a very light one. Allowing. a small interval,
during which the Prince and Prmoess may be sup-
posed to be contemplating their visit to the
A.D.C.s, I shall now endeavour to give you &slight
idea of what was doing in the streets. I under-
stand
that the University authorities had, in not
a very friendly manner, refused the town any direct
participation in the welcome to be given to the
Priam- and Princes of Wales. The town council
had offered them a suitable and perfectly safe
room for the ball, but the Dons would have "none
at it." It was a University festival, and "gown "
must have it all to itself. The citizens, however,
were determined that if the University was to have
all the fun, it was not to monopolise all the loyalty.
As if by magic, the streets were decorated, and in
the evening there was a very beautiful and perfectly
spontaneous illumination. One small street—
"the Crescent "—looked like fairy land, with its
green bouquets and its Chinese lanterns. Fitzroy-
street, also, came out strong—had iota of lights, a
fountain playing, and many groups dancing ;
and among the colleges, St. Catherine's
was loyally conspicuous for the brilliancy
of its Chinese illumination. From the noble
church tower of St. Mary's, the electric
light darted its fitful lustre down fora moment upon
the mobile crowd, in the next leaving them in Cim-
merian darkness. The boys of Cambridge are of
strong pyrotechnic tendencies, and are at the same
time intimately persuaded that every one likes
squibs as well as themselves. They threw these not
always harmless explosives into the air and out of
the windows ; vertically up, perpendicularly down,
and vehemently in every lateral direction. One or
two passing crinolines were slightly ignited, and the
sight of an insignificant stranger nearly extin-
guished, but the London police were not there, and
the local force seemed entirely to sympathise
with the tastes of the juvenile popula-
tion. Never mind, it was all in honour
of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the merry
boys when they are grey-headed old men will
" mind the time wien they let off squibs in the
market-place in honour of Albert Edward the
First."

You will readily imagine that, &mid such a scene
and through such a noisy, jolly, boisterous, but
perfectly civil and accommodating crowd, it was not
easy for any man who was not exactly au
anatomic Meant, to make his way to the little
theatre at the back of the Hoop, in which the
clever A. D. C.s had prepared a theatrical enter-
tainment for the royal party. The theatre was,
perhaps, not so large as the Globe at Bankside,
but it was not thatched with straw,
and the appointments were wonderfully
complete. This, perhaps, is not to be wondered at,
seeing that the A. D. C.s owe their existence
to Mr. Frank Burnand, who, when an under-
graduate, founded the company. The room is in
Jesus-lane, not in but at the back of the Hoop, an inn
which has long been much used by undergraduates.
It was formerly the billiard-room and may now
therefore be said to be appropriated to a much
more harmless purpose. It was nine o'clock when
the Prince and Princess arrived, and they were
immediately accommodated in a place very conti-
guous to the stage. It is needless to say that tho
little theatre was crowded to suffocation ; but it is
gratifying to add that the crowd were highly
delighted with the entertainment. The royal
visitors seemed to enjoy themselves immensely.
They ate ice, sipped coffee, and laughed, espe-
cially the Prince, at White Bait at Greenwich, and
The Wonderful camp, both I believe pieces written
by the founder of the A.D.C.'s. There was another
piece, but nobody waited for it, as the Prince and
Princess were bound for the ball, and the rest of
the oompany wished to have the honour of attend-
ing their royal highnesses thither.

It is hardly necessary to state that the Museum
is one of the great architectnail lions of Cambridge,
very classical in design, and not unlike the Museum
at Berlin. It was never intended to have a thousand
people, including the officers of the Kimbolton
volunteers, dancing in its saloons, and therefore it
had to be shored up for yesterday evening's festivity.
The vestibule looked uncommonly well, being lined
all round with red and white, in broad stripes, and
filled with the choicest exotics, which, however, all
came to grief in the course of the evening when they
were swept down by the ladies' draperies, and then
crushed by the gentlemen's boots. The ordinary means
of lighting had not been found sufficient, and there-
fore the ratherquestionable expedient of placingrows
of paraffin lamps on pedestals all along the walls
was adopted. At a former ball, it appears, the
company complained of the dripping of the wax-
lights ; but surely, after the recent experience in
Chili, paraffin lamps were hardly admissible, and if
one of them had been overturned amid the clouds of
muslin that were incessantly spinning and whirling
about the room, it would be bard to say what
might have been the consequence. The grand
saloon looked very well and brilliant, with all its
beautiful pictures, and the recess at the upper end
quite regal with its crimson chair of state sad
tabarets for the royal party. The rooms at each
aide were also laid out for dancing, and
there was a sit-down supper for forty in an apart-
ment below, which if the building were ecclesiastical
I should call a crypt. The Prince and Princess and
the Duke of Cambridge did not arrive until half-
' past 11 o'clock, when the company, as usual on
these occasions, crowded round them for a good
stare, and ladies actually stood up on the crimson
chairs of state which had been intended for the
royal party. There was not—there could not be—
much dancing except in the royal quadrille in the
grand saloon ; but theside rooms accommodated each
two rows of terriohormina, who arranged their
quadrilles to look something like an old country
dance. The Princess wore a good many diamonds
over her mourning, and the Prince and the duke wore
ordinary evening deem. There is not much more
to be said about the ball, as all balls are so much
I alike, except that in the royal quadrille the Prince
of Wales danced with the Duchess of Manches-
ter. the Princess of Wales with the Duke of Cam-
bridge, and that Earl Spencer and the Countess of
Morton were in the same set. There was great
anxiety to see the royal dancers, and this gave the
latter nearly a monopoly of the dancing in the
grand saloon. There were two bands—Cooke and
Timmy's, and the, band of the Grenadier Guards
—and both "discoursed must excellent music " for
the company. Karl Fitzwilliam had the honour of
handing the Princess; of Wales down to supper, but
the crowd was so great that I could not see
who followed. As a matter of fact, I
believe that among the general company there
were a good many who went without any supper at
all ; but this did not arise from any deficiency in
the viands, but from the want of accommodation.
Had the University accepted the offer of the Town
Council, they would have done in the way of pre-
liminaries for 3001. what actually cost them 2,0001.,
and the company would have had ample scope and
verge both for dancing and refreshment. Both the
Prince and Princess were, however, quite satisfied,
and his Royal Rieman said as he entered his
carriage that "The ball was a complete success."
To-day's proceedings commenced with the royal
visit to King's College Chapel, where the Litany and
anthem—the latter, "I have built there a house,"
by Boyce--were magnificently sung by the choir.
Ay nobody was admitted here except by special

At terries o'clock the Senate-house was aloe again
filled with noisy undergraduates (who were not at
all hoarse, notwithstanding their violent exertions
of the previous day) gaily-dressed ladies, learned
doctors in their robes, and university offi-
cials. Previous to the arrival of the illus-
trious visitors and the distinguished persons
who were to have degrees, the time was beguiled
with the usual variety of trim. There was a groan
for Mr. Disraeli, a tremendous cheer for the Queen,
a dubious recognition of the Pope, and a most de-
cided one of King Victor Emmanuel. Sir Bulwer
Lytton had an unequivocal ovation, and when Lord
Palmerston arrived, accompanied by Earl Granville,
the cheering was unanimous and tremendous. His
lordship, who wore his doctor's robe and the Star
of the Bath, looked well, and stood before his chair
for a long time bowing in acknowledgment of the
vociferous greeting of the undergraduates. It is
needless to say that the Prince of Wales, the
Princess, and the Duke of Cambridge, had a splen-
did reoeptiun, as the popularity of toe royal family
appears to increase every time their royal highnesses
appear in public. The conferring of degrees com-
menced with real Granville, who was loudly
sheered, followed by the Duke of Manchester,
about whose popularity there can be no question.
Then tame Earl Stanhope, whose name was accepted
ermine dissaitiente, and Lord Carnarvon, who
apparently bad no enemies in the galleries. Lord
Everaley seemed to be fairly popular, but his lord-
ship's reception was but a mild prelude to the ova-
tion that awaited Lord Palmerston. There cer-
tainly never was a more unanimous public welcome
tendered by any public assembly to an eminent
public man. Sir B. Lytton, Sir Page Wood, Sir
C. Eastlake, ware all well received, but the general
harmony was somewhat disturbed when Dean
Stanley's turn came. The groaning set up by a
few undergraduates was very pertinaciously sus-
tained, but was completely overborne by the general
plaudits. When the degree was conferred, both' the
Princess and Prince of Wales honoured Dean
Stanley with marked smiles of recognition.
Of the remaining new doctors it will be only neces-
sary to notice Dr. Watson, the eminent physician,
and Professor Wheatstone, both of whom were
much cheered; but the professor being the last
doctor who received his degree, was irreverently
endowed with the additional title of " wooden
spoon" by some rather juvenile voice from the gallery.
Before leaving the building some undergraduates set
up a cheer for Canon Wordsworth, but it was not
universally responded to.

The cheering was enthusiastically renewed as the
Prince and Princess left the building, and the re-
maining company broke up into groups and chattily
discussed the leading events of the day. Amongst
them there was nothing respecting which there was
a more general concurrence of opinion than as to
the manner in which the Public Orator, the Rev.
F. G. Clark, discharged his arduous duty. Those
who were most competent to judge declared for the
elegance of his Latinity, and all present could
testify to the appropriateness and impressiveness of
his elocution. Amongst others, Mr. Walpole crossed
the dais and complimented Mr. Clark on the apt-
ness of his allusions to the different personages on
whom degrees were conferred. Lord Palmerston
was pronounced to be the best pilot in a storm, and
the friend of oppressed nationalities.

The Orator stated the case for the Dean of West-
minster as strongly as possible, alluded to his
unselfish and chivalrous character, to his travels in
the Bast with the Prince of Wales, to his ardent
love of truth, and to the courage with which he
defended opinions he had been led to adopt by
inquiry, concluding with the aspiration :—" Te
igitur Oxonienaibus tun; invidemus. Tails quum
us, noster esto l" Dr. Watson will be content to
be "facile princeps" and " nulli secundus," and
even the awkward fact that Professor Wheatstone's
telegraphy was an undiscovered mystery in the days
when Latin was a spoken language, did not prevent
the inexhaustible Mr. Clark from finding appro-
priate terms of commendation.
The day's festi►ities may be said to have termi-
nated with the flower show, at which the Princess
of Wales distributed the prizes of the School of
Art ; and the marshalling, if I may so call it,
of the University boats in honour of the
royal visitors. Of the latter it was universally
admitted that the spectacle was much more gay
and splendid than the ordinary annual procession
of the boats which took place about three weeks
before. The boats started from the locks below
St. John's in the following order :

They passed St. John's grounds first, where tre-
mendous crowds bad congregated for the flower
show, and to see the Princess Alexandra distribute
the prizes of the School of Art. There was a
regular crush here, and immense cheering ; the
whole scene looking exceedingly animated under
the afternoon sun, and enlivened by the gay flags
and flowers with which the fairy flotilla was
decorated. Trinity Hall boat, being "the head of
the river," was wreathed with flowers, and all the
men wore flowers in their caps. Every other boat
bore its distinguishing flag, and all displayed the
national standard of Denmark. A man on
Clare Bridge waved • flag, and each boat
as it passed under " put on a spurt"
which was kept up vigorously until they reached •
part of the liver where there was space enough for
a turn. The Prince and Princes, of Wales, who
were in Ring's grounds, where • marquee had been
elected, watched this animated pageant from the
banks, and when the boats returned and formed
a sort of bridge across the river, the men tossing
their oars anti cheering lustily, their royal high-
nesses bowed repeatedly, evidently delighted with
what they saw. The whole scene was very striking,
the Prince and theitstinguialiedDoetetsof Laws who
accompanied him weaeing their scarlet robes, and the
creed in their guernseys, and flags and flowers. Add
the immense crowds which lined every part of the
bank from which &glimpse could beobtained, and you
can form some idea of what a very pleasant and
exhilarating ceremoxial was this procession of the
university boats. Three cheers for the Queen, and
three more for the Prince and Princess of Wales,
followed, and then the boats all paddled away in
the order in which they had advanced. From this
the royal party proceeded to the flower show in
St. John's grounds, of which the only thing re-
markable to be recorded was the touching grace
with which the Princess presented the prizes to the
pupils of the School of Art. A homely bystander
said that her royal highness looked like Queen
Elizabeth when she was young, and "smiled through
and looked through any one.
