CHEERS FROM PEOPLE

l Dublin, July Skiing George received a l loyal welcome from Dublin today. The
 King. accompanied by the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary, ar
 rived at Kingstown harbor on the royal | yacht Victoria and Albert last night. To- day the royal party entered the capital, where they were received by the lord lieutenant of Ireland and other officials. The King spent one of the busiest days 1 of his life looking over Dublin. After attending several functions this afternoon he drove to Phoenix park to see the races for Kings cup. All along the route
 and at the track he was enthusiastically cheered He arrived just in time to see
 Richard Croker's Benanet win the fourth race and hear the former Tammany leader vociferously cheered.
 Following other affairs which the King
 attended was the opening of a play
 center in the poorest and toughest dis trict in Dublin. It was time of greatest
 anxiety for the police before the King ar
 rived. The police and crowds had sev-
 eral encounters. Troops were brought up but were not required
 As soon as the King appeared the peo-
 pie who are perhaps the poorest of his subjects, gave him the most cordial greet ing of the day. Men and women who had been jeering the police and the soldiers
 broke into hearty cheers, which con- tinued throughout the district. The King
 and Queen showed their great pleasure at this ovation, which was entirely un-
 expected In this quarter.
 Wanted: Home Rule | The attitude of the people is we'll ex- pressed by a banner stretched outside the city council hall at Pembroke, a
 suburb of the capital, which refused to present an official address to the King
 reading:
 "welcome. We want home rule.' The, Kings reply to the address pre-
 scented upon his landing in Kingstown in which he said: T and the Queen | hastened our visit to the Irish people in whose welfare our interest is deep and abiding, had the effect of estab-
 lising an Immediate friendship between
 their majesties and the crowd filling the street.
 | The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, having on board their majesties, the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary,
 anchored in Kinestown harbor last
 evening. Stars and Stripes Displayed 4 | The occasion was made a holiday and
 the streets were crowded with people. The town had been decorated by nom
 political committee who was supported by citizens. The nationalists adopted
 passively friendly attitude, did not participate in fn official receptions
 and did not interfere with the same.
 They decorated their premises, always, however, with the Irish flag If more l than one flag was shown, the second was the American emblem, so there was liberal display of the stars and stripes. In the general decoration there
 was discreet intermingling of orange and green.
 | The opponents of the plan to pre-
 sent an address to the King took eff
 fective steps to prevent Lord Mayor | Farrell and his friends occupying the
 stage stand on Lesson street bridge at
 the boundary of the city by plentifully
 daubing the stand with fresh paint.
 It was there that Farrel had proposed
 to present his welcome.
