the South-Eastern Company by Captain War:i
one of the directors, Mr. C. W. Eborall, the genet-
manager, and Mr. J.P. Knight, the trafae suPe
tendent;

The weather at Hastings afforded an
contrast to that prevailing in London at the tic° s
departure, for while in the metropolis 511°W
falling heavily, and the atmosphere wag cold 613(1
gloomy, at St. Leonards there was a bright! „61,3`r
clear sky, and the sun shed a genial warm
tu
sea and land.
The train left the station at 11.40, under the eau;
trol of Mr. Knight (who rode on the lecomoticeict
and after a quick run Tunbridge-wells was reseoeo-
at 12.30. No other stoppage was made, and, t%Ol
don-bridge station was slowly passed at 1.41'
the train drew up at one of the arrival platialus-pie
Charing-cross terminus at 1.45, before which tbi adthe broad and lengthy pavement of the platform

As soon as the train stopped, the Prince 0' ",
conducted the Princess of Wales to her orr'ilivat..
A small group of ladies and gentlemen on the P' 0
form silently saluted the prince and Prilacesso
their royal highnesses crossed the platform; b not
group of workpeople who had assembled nenl4o•
content with this undemonstrative method of 6P o
hea,
ing their respect for their future king and
chi:crtetist
sort, gave utterance to a loud and heartyu
which the prince and princess seemed to be in,shea
amused. The cheering was by no means dirnirli few
when the nurse was seen to leave the train a but
seconds afterwards bearing the infant Prince'
was renewed with at least equal heartiness' f the
As the train drew up quite in the interior
station, and close to the back of the hotel build of
at the Strand entrance, there was but a distal:elled
some GO or 70 yards to be traversed, over a gra
rough
roadway, before the royal carriages passed tbboild•
a pair of gates in the hoarding fronting tbehoesses

were safe in their London residence of A131.113g

The train in which the prince and e" alit
1 princ
was the first passenger train which has br°;.ol
travellers literally up to the Strand; their 1-3;0.
highnesses may therefore be said to have,il3,Bthe
rated the opening of the line, and to have beg this
first
to prove the admirable convenience whie'frota
new terminus will offer to passengers to or
the West-end of London. Iva 11119,
It is understood that the Princess of - le.ir
derived much benefit from the invigoratieg
St. Leonards ; and it must be stated to the crial
of the inhabitants of the two towns that thens 9
visitors have suffered less annoyance by P; gave
