Queen Rides In State Through a Tremsn
dous Throng of Cheering People.
Dublin, April 10.-Queen Victoria
paid her promised visit to the city yes
terday afternoon. leaving Phoenix
park at about O'Clock. The. weather
was splendid and the brilliant sun
shine and vari-colored decorations gave
the city quite carnival appearance
Thousands of people gathered from
early morning and lined the route
thickly. The throngS about OConneu
street. Sackville street and College
Green were enormous. Sackyllle
street presented a particularly striking
spectacle. The royal procession passed
under an almost unbroken canopy Of
flags, banners and vari-cOlOred fes-
toons of flowers and evergreens. The
windows, roofs and all vantage points
were occupied by cheering, singing
crowds, waving flags and handker-
chiefs.
Her majesty drove slowly along the
route, necessarily bowlug and smiling
her acknowledgements of the pl2udits.
Not even on the occasion of the state
entry into Dublin was the scene more
impressive or more significant than
that of yesterday The scene about
College Green, where the bank of Ire
land, Trinity college and the public
statues were gaily bedecked, was spe-
cially interesting. The crowds were
so dense that they almost touched the
carriage wheels, yet there was an al
most total absence Of cOnstabulary. In
spite of this there was not the slight
est sign Of a disturbance of any kind
Miles of futtering handkerchiefs
greeted the queens appearance there
and marked her course through Har
court street, the South Circular road
and across the bridges to the Phoenix
monument and the vice regal lodge,
which was reached at $50 p. m.
