AN ENGLISH KING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT 240 YEARS. The @lheorsl, \\ Je Priors Doo ------ lie Lihplbert Gole at Or Brilliant scenes marked the visit of King Edward to Norwich last week, to present ¢olors to the Norfolk Territorials and to lay the corner-stone of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital's new wing. It was the first time for nearly 240 years that a sovereign had visited the East Anglian capital, Charles II being the last reigning monarch seen in the city. To mark the octasion a bank holiday had been proclaimed in Norwich, and all the men and women of the city, together. with thousands from the coun ide, helped to transform the chief theroughfares into avenues of moving eolor. Throughout the journey great enthusiasm was displayed by the populace, and as his- majesty approached in his -state earriage a chorus of 11 000 children sang the national anthem. It was a . picturesque and touching scene, and, as his majesty stood at the salute, he seemed to be deeply impressed. "When the last note diegh away his majesty remarked : "Very good, very good." In laying the corner-stone of the hospital the king said he was glad a want long felt by the hospital aunilborities had now been supplied, ands it was a source of gratification to him that day to open the extension designed as am isolation block. No blessings existed for the poor clasges of this country than the institutions which provided for their relief and care in illness, and any movements to establish new buildings for the purpose of rendering those in existence more efficient would have his warmest eupport.
