did the kindness with which the late Pontif

the city by Fitzwilliam street and traversed
Merton Square and Nassau street, going

The ceremony of handing over the keys
of the city to the King was not carried out.

In addition to the abandonment OF the
gala performance at the Theatre Royal,
King Edward has directed that the mill

Maynooth College be reduced to narrow
dimensions.
The streets this evening are thronged
with enthusiastic people viewing the ilhlni-

thoroughfares is impossible because OF
the crow Dis.

Pope has greatly gratified the heads Of the
Church and generally delighted the popu-
lace. A Nationalist newspaper, which
strongly opposed an official welcome to
the King, admits that his Majesty's first
speech in Ireland will go far to enhance
the kindly personal regard that the Irish
have for him.
