KILLARNEY, SUNDAY NIGHT
The Royal visit to Dublin came to an end yesterday, under circumstances of the same bright and auspicious character as characterised is throughout. At and round Kingsbridge Station there was a dense crowd, which had been assembling since midday, and when the Duke and Duchess of York, arrived at twenty minutes past two, with an escort of the 14th Hussars, they were received with continuous cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. The fine station of the Great Southern and Western Railway was profusely decorated with bunting and flowers, and the arrival platform, which was carpeted in scarlet, and specially reserved for the holders of invitation tickets, was animated with pretty faces and dresses.
