On Friday week the King and Queen visited Liverpool and
reviewed an impressive display of merchant shipping in the Mersey. Their Majesties went on board the `Mauretania' Last Saturday they continued their triumphal progress through various towns of South-East Lancashire. On Monday they visited Manchester-and Salford and returned -to London in the evening. The King addressed a letter to Lord Derby
expressing his appreciation of the organization of the tour and his gratification at the remarkable reception given to himself and the Queen. From first to last the visit has been what Lancashire people call " gradely "—a comprehensive word that means handsome, thorough, graceful, gracious, and a great deal more. In future the King is to be toasted in Lancashire as " Duke of Lancaster."
