He found himself among friends and a sympathetic people who gave him a loyal and warm reception. Instead of being hedged about with troops and police on the route and protected by riflemen ready to shoot at a moment’s notice he Biotored pleasantly in an informal way unattended through the boulevards, great crowds lining the route. It was a gala day thrdughout the Island, with feasts everywhere for the school children. To-morrow the Prince inspects the local troops and goes to Kandy on Thursday to attend a Durbar, at whieh the Kandy chiefs will participate. A hundred elephants will be a feature of the ceremony.
