The Royal Visit to Cambridge,

It would now appear that all will not go so smoothly in
the matter of the Royal visit to Cambrdge as might have
been hoped and anticipated. It is evident that some little
jealousy has arisen between the university and town; butt
the jealousy is oZ a loyal nature, the point at issue being;
who shall be first to practically evince their loyalty to the
illustrious guests. A rumour had arisen that the university
authorities, on the ground (universally admitted) that the
vide was iEtendcd primarily, if not solely, to honour the
university, objected to the first approach to the royal pre-
senc:e being made by the corporation of the borough by the
presentation by the municipal authorities of an address to
the illustrious visitors upon their arrival at the railway
station, or immediately upon their arrival in the town.

At a town council meeting on Tuesday, whereat the•.
Mayor (Mr H. H. Harris) presided, his worship, addressing
the council, said they would be aware that their Royal
17lighnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales intended
paying the university a visit during the ensuing month.
Whether or no the town would take part in the celebration
of the occasion it was not for him then to say, but he begged
to move that a committee be appointed, and lowers dele-
gated to them to make such arrangements as might be
found necessary and proper. Mr. Alderman Brown
seconded the motion.—Mr. Wagstaff said there was a public;
rumour that the university objected to the presentation of
an address by the.corporation to the Princess at the railway
station. Was that so ?—The Mayor said that the visit was
to the university,—Mr. Wagstaff said that he heard en in-
timation had been made to the Mayor that he might present
the corporation address under an awning to be erected in
Peterhousd Lodge after the arrival of the Prince and
Princess there, and that the Mayor had declined to aceedio
to such mode of presentation. Ho (Mr. Wagstaff) thong,: at
credit was due his worship for such refusal, as tendir rg
to maintain the honour and dignity of the borough,—T: ae
Mayor replied that it was with a view to future arrange-
merits that he moved for the committee.—The Mayor, AI -
dermen Henry Smith, Ekiu, and Brown, Councillors Deck ,
Fitch, and Wetenbell were appointed of the committee, and
the subject dropped.
In the university the younger_ spirits are all agog for a
ball on a grand scale, and a memorial, signed by several
members of the senate, was presented to the vice-chancellor,
requesting him to ascertain the opinion of the members of
the senate as to the desirableness of giving some enterta in-
meat on the part of the university generally to their ro yet
highnesses, and suggesting a ball as the most appropriate
form of such entertainment. In compliance with this
requisition, a private meeting of members of the senate was
called in the arts school on Tuesday, and it was agreed tlult
a ball would corm a fitting feature in the entertainment.
The majority of those present were in favour of the ha 11
being given in the Fitztvilliam museum; but there was a
strong minority in opposition to this, and whether or no
the locale shall be the museum will be decided in congri!ga-
ticu on Saturday next.
