The Marquis of Lorne and his royal wife
commenced the first stage Of their journey
TO the New Dominion last night, from st.
Pancras Station, the London terminus of
the Midland Railway. They decided to
travel by an ordinary passenger train,
having simply two Pullman cars attached,
due in Liverpool at forty-fve minutes
past five this morning. The Pullman cars
were named Excelsior and Midland; the
former was occupied by the Duke of Con-
naught, Prince Leopold and the gentlemen
of their suites, the latter by the Princess
Louise and her husband the Marquis of
Lorpe, together with the ladies in waiting.
The cars were beautifully decorated with
flowers and choice orchids, and floral bas-
kets depended from the roofs within, fill

body of police prevented any hustling or

parture of trains, and, second, to prevent
the enthusiastic and patriotic unwashed in
vading the waiting rooms from which the
eoyal passengers were to start.

berlain the Superintendent of the Midland
Railway ordered that the station should
not be decorated. and no special arrange

of an oblong space on the inner platform

consisting Of plain station benches, and the
door Of the reserved space being covered

was entirely under cover the canopy was
dispensed with.
