Prince Albert Victor, slept on board the
royal yacht Osborne at Holvhead last

at 1880 O'Clock. The Osborne was
escorted across the channel by the En-
chantress, a paddle-wheel yacht belong
ing to the navy. Large numbers of people
had assembled upon the, docks to greet
the royal visitors. Kingstown was
crowded with people, and the town was
profusely decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. Numbers Of excursion steamers
thrOnged the bay, decked out
with gay cOlored bunting,
and six vessels Of the channel
squadron were in waiting, arrayed with
the flags of all nations and brilliant with
various colored streamers. The Osborne
was sighted while ten miles out at sea,
and as she drew nearer was greeted with
'salvos of artillery from the men-of-war.

the royal party disembarked the thrOng
raised a loud and enthusiastic cheer.

sion House.
In spite Of the fears of a stormy day
the weather smiled propitiously upon the
arrival of the royal party and the sun
was shining brilliantly when they placed
foot upon Irish soil. Earl Spencer,
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, received the
Prince and his party, and the Town Com
mission presented an address OF welcome.
The Princess at the same time was made
the recipient of numerous bouquets. A
crowd which numbered thousands kept
up continuous cheering during the recep-
ton, and cheered loud and long as the
royal guests proceeded TO Dublin.
THE ARRIVAL AT DUBLIN.
When the royal party arrived at the
railway station from KingstOwn at .
O'Clock they were met by the members of
the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, whose
President read that body's address OF
welcome to the Prince and Princess. The
entire route along which the visitors
were taken from the station to Dublin
| Castle was crowded with people. The
vast crowd was composed Of all classes.
| Not a sign Of any feeling of hostility was
/ displayed, but on the contrary the recop-
! ton appeared to be cordial and unaui-
/ nous. Along the route of the procession
many persons We're crowded in past the
! escort Of lancers. The Prince of Wales
/ took all these Irregularities good-na-
! turedly and shook hands cor
/ daily with ali within his
reach. Earl Spencer, the Irish Wee
roy, was loudly cheered as he drove
through the streets OF Dublin in the pro-
cessiOn.
Lord Mayor John O'Connor, who is a
strong Nationalist but who drove in Off
cial stale with the royal escort, was
loudly hissed by the Nationalists. Not a
sign of welcome is visible on the City
Hall Of Dublin, and this fact stands out
so cOnspicuOusly as to force comments.

railway station. When the train bearing

The green was literally packed with a
