THE PRINCE IN INDIA.
A SPECTACULAR CEREMONIAL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Delhi, Dec. 28. In opening the Victoria Memorial o n the Calcutta maidan with great spectacular ceremonial, the Prince of Wales performed the most historically interesting event thus far of his tour. The superb building is second only as an architectural gem to the Taj Mahal, the marble coming from the same quarry. Calcutta regards this alabasterlike pile as a valedictory monument to the departed glory of the capital of India. To a fanfare of trumpets and a saluting of 101 guns, the Prince unlocked the door with a richly-jewelled key. Everywhere along the route he received a great reception. The city was quite normal again, except for the decorative splendor and the frequent' strains of martial music.
