greeted with salvos of artillery from the
men-of-war. When the Osborne touched the

Dublin presents lively appearance, but
there are many indications that there is no
great popular enthusiasm, Outside the
route OF the procession the decoration OF the
city is far from general. Another flag has
been substituted for the missing one, and
this Is now floating over the Mansion House.
