It. is n& exaggeration; 1») asy that Melboni-ne lost its collectava- head over the Prince (writes the Wellington Post's Sydney correspondent).,: Australians are- naturally susjneipus of anything savoring of the> aristocracy— but the charming smile .and simple unaffected, manner of the, young Heir to the Throne found a way straight to their warm hearts. The crowds, indeed, were- so enormous and so strative that they made- the performance of the Prince's onerous duties very difficult, and contributed in no small degree to his threatened collapse. ( He. was Tate for almost every public | engagement—simply because the peo--I pie thronged around him so that hia carriage could not get through the streets. He never failed to stand up in his car, saluting them and smiling Ms famous smile. He refused to have an escort of mounted police;- Bethought they might hurt the people— and so he paid the penalty by having the people almost trampling on him in their eagerness te» get near liim. The authorities tried to help matters by having foot police move along rapidly beside the car. But the. Prince-noticed that these men were distressed by their heavy»work and the fast pace— and so^ he stopped the ear and made them ride on the footboard" It is a little incident like this- that finds the heart of the Australian people. He '' «• has begged the crowds to spare him a little and keep back—kut iiiey only cheer^ him the more and crowd eloaer.
