THE PRINCE AT DELHI.
A GREAT WELCOME. CROWD’S UNIQUE HOMAGE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Delhi, Feb., 21. It is estimated that upwards of 100,000 people swarmed the enclosures and literally chased the Prince round the ground at the People’s Fair. The Prince, on horseback, rode through the cheering masses for half an hour, saluting and smiling. He was delighted at his reception, for the crowd was extremely good-natured and in the best spirits. The police and military were powerless to prevent them paying homage. The greeting was a unique and magnificent success. In many quarters the demonstration is regarded as a severe blow to the non-co-operation movement in Delhi. NATIVES’ CHANGED ATTITUDE. Received Feb. 22, 5.5 p.m. Delhi, Feb. 21. The Prince’s visit to Delhi ends to-day. He was greeted w’ith a hartal a week ago, but the native population this afternoon flocked to the people’s fair to see the Prince.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
