A public holiday had been declared and all the inhabitants closed their shops and lined into the streets to . greet the Prince, whose manner and bearing made a great impression. The correspondent adds that, al- though the political atmosphere in Bombay is rather tense, the tour of the Prince is considered to have open- 'ed with splendid promise. : The Bombay correspondent of The "London Times says the non-co-oper~ ationists had made the utmost efforts to render the boycott of the Prince of Wales' visit effective, but the only fesult was an overwhelming and tumultuous reception, passing all pos- sible expectations. Experts say it will be a severe blow to Gandhi and his party of discontent, but the correspondent refrains from ion. At the moment of thé emonstration Ganhi himself was somewhere in" Bombay, but is report- ed to have been assisting at "a farci- cal bonfire of. imported clothing" His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will have a strenuous time during his four months' stay in India, beginning with Bombay, where the Renown, on which he sailed from England on Ostober 27, ar: He was greet- ed by Lord Reading, the Viceroy, and the ruling Princes on the staff of his «Royal Highness.

After some engagements in Baroda the Prince will go into the country and have some black-buck shooting, He will then proceed to Udaipur, whose venerable Maharaja is considered the leading ruler in Rajputana, on account both of his legendary descent from the semi-divine Rama and the great traditions of chivalry associated with the ruling house. =~ Through all the generations of Mogul domination it was the only ruling Rajput family which gave no daughter in to any member of the Mohammedan Imperial dynasty. The Prince will spend a couple of days in the valleys not far from the palace of the Maharaja, shooting leo- pards and possibly some other big game. The Princes visit to Patha, the youngest of the British = Provinces, will be of historic interest, as it will be the first time that a member of the Royal house will be the guest of an Indian Governor, in the person of Lord Sinha.

University boys always play to win," sald a more or less pro- fessional "sportsman" apropos of the rugby games played at the University of Toronto stadium. This man has an insight into the spirit which is pro- duced by university athletics. Uni- versity boys play hard, are glad to win, are good losers, if they lose, and they do mot resort to "shady" tricks. They are trained to'be above that sort of thing. Not the winning of the game, primarily, but good, clean sport is their objective. And what a valu- able asset that spirit is to an indi- vidual! The people of Ontario are proud of their provincial university, of its excellent teaching, of its suc- i cess in research, of its Widespread extension . service, and they 'do not forget that, at that university, young men and women are being trained to | be citizens of the highest order, un- suspicious and above suspicion, honest and upright, and that the in sports and general athletics is help- ing to produce that type of citizen. re semen RISE IN QUOTATION OF POUND STERLING Due to Improyement in Great Bri Foreign Trade €. 4 ' A despatch from New York saysi-- British exchange, as reported by the i pound sterling, rose to a fraction over sels at all times, keeping the squirm- 'erg alive.
