DURBAR COST $4,000, 900.

The expenses of the native princes and
chiefs vary greatly, from the $500, 600

sum the minor chiefs were able TO make
but an Indifferent display. When it is
remembered that the number of these
princes and chiefs reaches nearly 100,
the total expenditure can easily be cal
culated.
The governors of Madras and Bombay
