- The frequent appearance of Indian gentlemen before English audiences in London, whether as lecturers themselves or as chairmen of the meetings of public debating societies, is a feature, and a very satisfactory feature, of recent years. One of the foremost of the native Princes, the Maharaja Gaekwar of Baroda, has set an excellent example in this respect by presiding over at least two such meetings in London during this season. When he addressed a meeting of the Society of Arts on the question of Indian trade, and again when he presided at a lecture by Sir David Barr, before the East Indian Association, on Haidarabad, it was difficult to decide whether he was more remarkable for his command of the English language, for the sound common sense of his remarks, or for the tact with which he, the ruler of another great State, dealt with so thorny a subject as Haidarabad.
