National News Association)


Dublin. July 6.-All Dublin, and in
truth, all Ireland, Is on the qui vive in
anticipation of the coming of the King
and Queen. Crowds are pouring in
from all points, and II is estimated
that the normal population of Dublin,
about 100000, will have swollen to l..
100000 by Saturday. the day on which
their Majesties will make their entry
into the city.
The royal visit TO Dublin will extend
over four days. The official arrange
ments are calculated to keep their
Majesties busy almost from the hour
OF their arrival until their departure.
The date OF departure, by the way,
falls on July 12, the day the Ulster
Orangemen hold their great annual
celebration. Some Of the leaders
among the Orangemen have not been
slow to take offense at the King de.
parting from the country on that an
niversary, and have petitioned him, in
stead, to visit listers capital, Belfast.
AS all the arrangements for the royal
visit were concluded months ago, how
ever. IT was impossible to make any
change in the itinerary. Further
more. 1t would not be at all expedi-
ent for the King to visit Belfast on
Orangemen's day, as 1t would almost
surely provoke rioting between the
arrangement and the nationalists.
Touch at kingstown.
Their Majesties are expected to ar
rive at Kingstown on the royal yacht
Victoria, and Albert early Saturday
morning. They will land at the Vic.
toria wharf at about 1920. and will be

lin city limits they will be met by the
Lord Mayor and council in their scarlet
robes, and mace bearers in uniforms
of blue and silver. Soldiers will line
the road as guard of honor, while be-
hind them will be cordons OF police,
lancers and militia.
On their arrival at Dublin Castle,
the King and Queen will be received by
the Lord Lieutenant bearing the sword
in state. The apartments which their
Majesties will occupy at the castle
have been completely refurnished and
redecorated for the royar visit. A new
and much needed supper room has
been built at the back Of the state
apartments. The additions and alter.
ations have allowed room with a
beautifully decorated ceiling, which
hitherto was not available, to be added
to the Viceroy's residential apart
