The German Crown Prince, who sailed from Bombay last Saturday,

has issued through his staff a cordial message of thanks to all who were concerned in his tour. He carries away with him "most interesting, enjoyable, and affectionate impressions," and expresses his high appreciation not merely of the scenery, records, and monuments of that mighty country, but of the achievements of its administrators. Wherever he went hospitality and friendly feeling have been shown him "privately, publicly, and in the Press," and he ends by declaring that "India will always hold a prominent place in his affections." It is pleasant to learn that these feelings have been reciprocated by his hosts, and that the Crown Prince's genial and unaffected nature has won him friends wherever he went.
