Replying to an. address from the Corporation, tho King said lio hoped “My people, •while cherishing their own characteristics and ideals, may engage in that friendly rivalry in the paths of poaro which is tho true source of national prosperity and Imperial great* ness.” Replying to fifty other addresses, King Edward said: “My highest ambition is to follow iin my mother’s footsteps and work for tho good of m.y people. Tho prosperity of Ireland and th 9 maintenance of tho peace of the nations will bo my constant aim.” The King unveiled the Victoria memorial statue and opened the now Victoria Hospital.
