THE ROYAL VISIT.
[EY TELEGRAPH —rER PRESS ASSOCIATION.! VARSITY RAG. MELBOURNE, April 27. The Duke of York to-day visited Melbourne University, where the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on him. During the Royal visit the students indulged in an amazing rag. They blocked the Duke’s path and lifted him bodily into a specially prepared carriage, in which was a staff of students dressed to represent every branch of naval, military, religious and civil life. The carriage was then driven to an exaggerated representation of country life in the University ground, where the Duke was presented wit'll an address from the country folk. His Royal Highness took the joke in good part, and thoroughly entered into the spirit of the rag.
