A drenching rain fell which materially dampened the ardor of the Royalists who had made every preparation for the reception of the distinguished guests. Many houses had been profusely decorated with flags and bunting, while over several of the principal streets floral triumphal arches had beer erected. But the rain and wind played havoc with these and many had to be taken down. The people, however, gathered on the piers in large numbers and manifested much enthusiasm. The landing of the royal party was made amidst the music of bands, salvos of artillery and the cheers of the multitude.
 DUBLIN, April S.-The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived in this city after noon. Their reception by the enormous crowds gathered
  thing dreamed of even by the most rabid Royalists. No such popular demonstration WAS ever before seen in Dublin. Many well known Nationalists, carried away by the excitement of the moment, were seen cheering with the rest. The Prince and Princess were apparently very much delight ed with their reception, and the Prince, although the air was chilly, traversed the greater part of the route hat in hand lowing his acknowledgements right and left. After leaving Kingstown the weather improved and although a cold wind was blowing the sun oame out at intervals. The Lord Mayor failed to carry out his threat to take down the flag which 1oated over the Mansion House. The fiuttering bunting was the source of no little comment and amusement to the crowd One of the features of the days demonstra- tions was procession composed of fully one thousand students of the various colleges who paraded the streets carrying Union Jacks and canes. The young men were very enthusiastic ill their efforts to honor the royal visitors. The procession passed through the principal streets of the city headed by band which played loyal airs, while the students sang numerous songs specially composed for the occasion. The ballads sung were all in praise of the royal visitors and contained numerous ex- pressions of the students loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen and the royal family. All along the route the processionists were en- Enthusiastically cheered. This afternoon the Prince and Princess attended the show of the Royal Dublin society where they witnessed series of jumping feats, etc., from special box.
 The railway from Kingstown to Dublin was lined with strong force of police while the train bearing the Prince and Princess was passing. A great crowd had assembled at the railway station and when the train arrived the police were unable to pre- 1oh the cordon and were only able to keep space clear through which their royal highnesses could reach their carriage The Prince shook hands with scores of those nearest to him and the effect of this action upon the crowd was electrical, frantic cheering being kept up in an unbrokeA roar by the people? These manifestations of enthusiasm continued as the carriage passed slowly through the dense crowds that lined the streets all the way to the castle. The Prince aftsrward gent g telegram to the Queen at Aix-leBains in- forming her that he had had 8 "glorious re- ception." In the evening the city was gor- bled in the streets in the vicinity of the castle The police with difficulty prevented a collision between &he nationalists, who raised shouts of "God save Ireland" and at tempted to elicit cheers for Parnell, while on the other hand the stulents and loya1isIs ca d1eSCtu III elle+edfotlllS po 1iOWI 1ucso ot1ts by cheers for the Prince and Princess. The malcontents proved to be the weaker party and when they tore down and attempted to burn Union Jack the students and loyal ists made rush, rescued the emblem and bore it aloft in triumph. The melee growing more desperate missiles began fa fIF ths air and several windows were smashed. At this point the police charged upon the crowd and cleared the streets for the time being. While these scenes were being enacted near the castle similar demonstrations were made in various other parts of the city. The town was wild with excitement, but a friendly feeling for the royal visitors was uppermost.
