xl5rltish OfRolal Wlrelesa)
THE KING PLEASED
Rugby, Nov. 19. The Prince of Wales arrived in London early this morning. His visit to Northern Ireland was an immense success. Wherever he went he received from all classes of the community unrestrained enthusiasm. Twenty thousand people gathered at Belfast station to cheer him as he departed, and chanted "Come' back, come back," to the tune of the Westminster chimes. In an impromptu broadcast speecb he paid a charming tribute to Irishmen. In all his travels, in whatever climate, under whatever conditions, he always found Irishmen, and everyone who lcnew them liked them. He and they had many tastes in common. They liked horses, sports and jokes. As he found in the streets of Hillsborough they were always ready for a bit of fun. "It won't be my fault if I don't come back," he ended. The King telegraphed the Covernor of Northern Ireland, the Duke of Abercorn, his heartfelt thanlcs to the people for the warmth of the welcome accorded his son and for the demonstration of loyalty. The Prince of Wales also telegraphed his thanks.
