EIvATAHUN A ENRAGED PASSED BY THE ROYAL TRAIN. A DISAPPOINTED CROWD. (Per United Press Association.) EKATAHUNA, May 6. The Royal train passed through Ekatahuna yesterday. The train pulled up to water vht engine before reaching the station and then proceeded before the crowd of 1500 could reach the Royal carriage, the Prince acknowledging thcf cheers from the platform. As the engine could have watered at the tank at the other side of the station, leaving the Royal carriage in close proximity to the platform, the keenest indignation was expressed by the disappointed crowd. A public meeting last night passed a motion expressing profound disgust at the studied opposition of the responsible officials to the people’s loyal desire to greet their future sovereign. A copy was sent to the Prime Minister. A large majority of the children travelled long distances. Effigies of the authorities responsible were burnt in the main street last night.
