THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—Their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales
will leave Osborne for Windsor and London to-morrow
(Tuesday), crossing to Portsmouth in her Majesty's screw
yacht Fairy at 11 a.m. It was uncertain at Portsmouth
yesterday evening whether their Royal Highnesses would
land from the Fairy on the Gosport or Portsmouth side of
the harbour. Existing arrangements were for the Prinoe
and Princess to land at the Royal Clarence-yard on the
Gosport side, the route the Queen usually takes in her
journeys to and from Osborne, but the Town-council and
Corporation of Portsmouth had preferred a respectful re-
quest that their Royal Highnesses would honour the an-
cient town and the military and naval services, which it to
a certain degree represents, by landing there on arrival
from Osborne ; and, although no definite answer had been
received,
,from the Sunday intervening, it was hoped and
believed that their Royal Highnesses would include Ports-
mouth in the list of towns gladdened by their presence.
To-day the Town-council hold a meeting to frame a suit-
able address for presentation to the Prince and Princess on
their arrival.
