IRELAND RONORs WALES.
An Extraordinarily Enthusiastic Re-
Gepti0n in Dublin to the
FUTURE ENGLISH KING AND QUEEN.
No Such Popular Demonstration Ever
Seen in the Irish
Capital.
THE LORD MAYORS FLAG FLIES.

DUBLIN, April S.-The Prince and Prin-
cess Of Wales and their eldest son, Prince
Albert Victor, slept on board the royal
yacht Osborne at Holly Head last night.
They left Holly Head at quarter past six
this morning and arrived at Kingstown at
halfpas. IL. The Osborne was escorted
across the Channel by the Enchantress,
paddie-wheel yacht belonging to the navy.
Large numbers of people had assembled upon
the docks to greet the royal visitors. Kings
town is crowded with people and the town
is profusely decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. Numbers Of the excursion steamers
thronged the bay, decked out with gay col.
ored bunting, and six vessels Of the channel
squadron were in waiting, srrayed with the
flags of all nations and brilliant with vari-
colored streamers. The Osborne was sighted
when still ten miles out at sea, and as she
drew nearer was greeted with salvos of artil-
lery from the men-ofwar. When the Os-
borne touched the dock and the royal party
disembarked the throng raised loud and
enthusiastic cheer.
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 being general Another
flag has been substituted for the missing
one and is now floating over the Mansion
House.
Earl Spencer Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
received the Prince and his party and the
town Commission presented an address of
welcome. The Princess at the same time
was made the recipient Of numerous
boauets. The crowd, which numbered
thousands, kept up continuous cheer.
ing during the reception, and
cheered loud and long as the Royal
guests proceeded to Dublin. They arrived
at Dublin at o'clock and were accorded a
splendid reception. In answer to the al
dress Of welcome presented to him by the
Citizens Committee, the Prince said he was
delighted to renew his acquaintance with
Dublin. In the passage through the streets
of the city the party were everywhere greet
ed with enthusiasm. The houses on both
sides OF the avenue along which the pro-
ceeded were adorned with beautiful decors-
tions. and windows and roofs were crowded
with spectators eager to catch q glimpse o.
the future King and Queen.
NatioDalists Cheer Her Royal Highness.
Another dispatch Says: The Prince and
Princess of Wales entered the city shortly
after noon. Their reception by the enor-
nous crowd gathered in the streets exceed
ed in enthusiasm anything dreamed of even
by the most rabid royalists. No such pop
ular demonstration was ever seen in Dublin.
Many wellknown Nationalists, carried away
by the excitement ofthe moment were seen
TO cheer with the rest. The Prince and
Princess were apparently,,very much delight
ed with their reception, and the Prince, al
though the air was chilly, traversed the
greater part of the route hat in hand, bow
ing his acknowledgements right and left.
After leaving Kingstown the weather i'm
proved and, although cold wind is blow
ing, the sun comes out at intervals The
Lord Mayor Jailed to carry out his threat to
take down the flag that floats over the Man
sion House, and the floating bunting is the
source of no little comment and amusement
to the crowd.
