PRINCE IN MELBOURNE
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, Australian aud N.Z. Cable Association. MELBOURNE, Mav 28. The Prince of Wales, on board "the destroyer Franklin, inspected the fleet. The review, from the point of view of the assembled crowds ashore, was a failure as owing to a thick fog only the dim outlines of the vessels were visible. The weather is now bitterly cold, with a thick white frost. The fog affected the Prince, who is troubled with a deep cough. The mounted police have been dispensed with in connection with the visit, as His Highness considers that the people might be injured by the horses among the crowd.
