Departure of the Prince of Wales from
Althorp Park.
NORTHAMPTON, Tuesday Night,
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who, for the
last few days, has been staying at Althorp Park, the seat of
Earl Spencer, left this afternoon for London. During his
stay at Althorp his Royal Highness accompanied the Pytch-
ley pack of hounds on two occasions, on Saturday and on
Monday. On the last occasion there was such a field as,
perhaps, was never before seen in this country, all the
elite of the neighbourhood for many miles round being
present. It was not officially known that his Royal High-
ness would pass through this town till a late hour last
night. A special messenger was, however, despatched by
the mayor, Mr. S. Phipps, desiring, on the part of the
borough, permission to present an address. This, how-
ever, his Royal Highness declined, stating that he wished
to pass through the town as privately as possible. The
inhabitants, however, were determined to show their
loyalty, and accordingly at the time appointed for the
Prince to atrivo at the station, business was almost en-
tirely suspended. Nearly all the houses in the streets
along which the Prince would pass were gaily decorated
with flags, evergreens, and mottoes. His reception was
of the most enthusiastic description, and the 4th North-
amptonshire Rifles formed a guard of honour at the sta-
tion. His Royal Highness left by a special train at half-
past 1 o'clock.
