 The whole city is in a state of fever ish expectancy, although the officials of the municipality are inclined to hold aloof
 The royal pair will leave Holyhead early tomorrow morning on the royal l two warships, and will arrive off Kings | town about II o'clock The yacht will be boarded by Baron Ardilaun, vice lieutenant of Dublin county, and by the | nigh sheriff of Dublin, with the Kings town commissioners.

 The visit is in a sense official, as rep resenting the queens concession to oft repeated Irish grumbling at royal sights to the Emerald Isle"
 The tories are endeavoring to attach as much political importance to it as possible. and everything is to be done that could give it exceptional social brilliancy. Nowhere in the United Kingdom does "show" call forth more enthusiasm than in Ireland; and in the presence of royalty even the bitterness of party politics seems to vanish. Rec- olIections of the memorable visit of the | Prince and Princess of Wales in 1885 are still fresh, and no one has forgot ten the universal and fervent express sions of loyalty which are called forth in spite of MT. Parnell's repeated de- mands that his followers should not recognize the visit and despite the in- functions of the Archbishop of Cashel to preserve "dignified reserve"
 Many Irishmen still recall vividly the most memorable scene of all in connec- 1 IlOn WILL IOydl NlSllS-lIt Stdlt NlSlI to Punchestown, Kildare. by the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1868. Fifty thousand people assembled at Punches , town, wild with enthusiasm and the royal carriages were escorted all the way from Sallins station by a running, | shouting mob of genuine bog trotters, l who completely defeated the efforts of the outriders and cavalry escort to keep them back.
 Hundreds of grubby hands were thrust into the carriage and pleasantly grasped by the princess, while every | where she met the intending chorus of l "Haroo for the Countess of Dublin!' "Haroo for the Countess of Malahide!'' The queen visited Ireland in 1S49 with the prince consort, again in 1853 and still later in 1861. During the last visit she went to the beautiful domain of | McRoss, which, it is rumored, is to be | purchased for a royal residence for the 1 Duke and Duchess of York.
 The Prince of Wales also visited Ire land in 1865 and in 1871; the Duke of Connaught came here in 1869, and the Dukes of Clarence and York in 1887. 4 SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
