THE PRINCE

OVER-EAGER CROWDS,

YOUNG LADY KNOCKED DOWN

■ .. [Pbess Association.] (Received May 31, 1.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, May.3l. ! All the Prince's public movements were attended by unprecedented demonstrations of loyalty. The crowding in the streets was sometimes so dense that it was difficult for the car to make progress. The Prince's ap_peal against crowding followed an incident in which a young lady, when throwing a bunch of violets into his car, approached, too, near and was knocked down, escaping with a shaking. ] The Prince is so crowded with engagements that he barely hasi time to snatch a little exercise. Yesterday ho attended service in the Cathedral.

Handshaking is i>roving a serious ordeal. The Prince mostly uses his left hand, but occasionally alternates with his right.
