about four O'Clock Yesterday afternoon In specia
train from Baltimore. sometime previous TO that
hour large gathering had surrounded the depot,
occupying all available points, and all apparently
determined to secure front view Of his ROYAL
self and suite. No; only was this the case at the
depot; but in accordance with the programme
published in the Star of Yesterday, with reference
10 the route Of the carriages, large numbers had
assembled all along Pennsylvania avenue, anx-
iously awaiting the approach Of the party. Amer
lean ensigns were displayed from various promi-
nent points along the route, and the balconies,
windows. and sidewalks were filled with ladies
duly provided with white handkrrchefs, where
with to wave q welcome to the Prince Never
have we seen more intense anxiety manifested to
witness display or procession than on yesterday
with regard to the reception OF Baron Renfrew.
RECEPTION AT THE DEPOT. 80
Inside the depot, where a large assembllge had
gathered long before the arrival OF the train,
lane had been formed through the crowd and
maintained by policemen stationed at short inter-
walls for the purpose Of giving free passage to the
Prince and suite. The policemen seemed some
what embarrassed by the novelty Of their posi- tcn
they being required to appear In white gloves
and with their faces well washed, on this special
occasion, ana what, Win the aw kwardDf IS OF not
knowing exactly what to do with their encum-
bered paws, and the necessity Of maintaining the
Official swagger at the same time, thev were Of
course a good deal bothered. The ladies, num-
bers of whom were In attendance, pressed for
ward amongst the foremost in tbs line, and among
them we noticed here and there one Brison born,
indicated generally by the pure red and white
complexion. One stout, rosy, Great Britainous
looking chap mounted upon a chair, in his zeal
and loyalty, and others disposed to get good
look following his example, hasty levy was

and with such vigor as almost immediately to
deplete the amply stocked establishment Chill
dren had climbed to the ticketoffce window,
and also upon and even over the ratings about

Of course plenty Of false alarms and the usual
stretching OF necks and good-natured laughter at
At five minutes to four the shrill whistle of the
train announced It's near approach, and Instantly
all was nuttef and commOtion--the police were
directed to maintain their positions, persons were
rushing to and fro, EXPLANATIONS Of '.get of INV
toe, take your head out of the way and such
like, were frequently heard above the noise of the
crowd-in fact for awhile 1t seemed perfect bed
lam. At four O'Clock the train reiched the depot
which had tue effect Of quieting the vast con-
course. The train consisted Of two pauen ger and
one baggage car. In the first car we're seated the
following representatives Of the press, who have
been travelling with Lord Renfrew, reporting his
progress in Canada and the United states: Joseph
Howard, New York Times; r. Fisk and Mr.
CORVALLIS, New York Herald; Thos c. Evans
New York World; DR.. Augustus Rawlings and
II. Davis. Of the New York illustrated News; Mr.
Jewett, Frank Leslies; N. A. Woods, London
Times; Roche, Of the London Post; Harcourt, of
the Toronto Globe; Spence, Of the Quebec Chron-
icle In the second car was the B-ron and his
suite. r.
Baron Renfrew, unattended was the first 10
nlight from the car; and as he stepped forth and
walked along the platform by the side of the train
he attracted the attention Of all those the rail
ing, which had the happy effect Of gratifying their
eager curiosity. IL was not long, however, before
be was joined by the Duke of Newcastle, Earl st
Germans Lord Lyons, her Britannia Majesty's
Representative near the Government Of the United
States, and other members of the suite, who ac-
eompanied Baron Renfrew along the platform to
the large hall Of the depot, where Mr. Secretary
Cas- was Introduced by Lord Lyons to the royal
guest, Mr.. Cas- saying that he had the pleasure,
In the name OF the President Of the United States
Of welcoming his lordship TO w ashington, and
by his permission would accompany hun TO the
Executive Mansion. There were also present and
= Introduced, Messrs Henry and BUCHANAN, the
hephews Of the President, with the Presidents

derstOod, represented the Presidents family
As the party passed out they were greeted with
warm cheers and waving Of handkerchiefs from
all sides, which compliment the Baron politely
acknowledged by making pleasant bow and
lifting bis lat in a modest, unassuming manner.

young Baron, and voted that Injustice had been

CARRIAGES OF THE BARON AND SUITE
The splendid equipage Of Mr.. McGraw, of
Baltimore, was in readiness at the Depot to con-
vey the Baron To the Executive Mansion; but il
being ciossd carriage, the Baron expressed a
preference fof the open baroucbe Of the Presi-
r dent, which was accordngly drawn up, and the
Baron, together with Secretary Gass the Duke OF
Newcastle, and Lord Lyons, took position therein
The others Of the renue followed in the Carriages

barrassed, and appeared to be not quite at ease
even after entering the carriage. - -
TIE ROUTE TAKEN. ..I-Iz : 9. 81
1t 10 greatly TO be regretted that from some mis-
understanding the programme which had been
prepared By those having the matter In charge at
the Executive Mansion, az 70 the route Of the
carriages, could not be fully carried out It was
intended TO have the carriages reach PennsyIvania
avsnue by way Of First street, and proceed up the
avenue to the Presidents House, thus sfording
all an opportunity TO behold the distinguished
visitor. Instead, however, Of following this
course, the party proceeded at rapid rate fol-
lowed by vehicles OF all descriptions, and large
crowd, along Indiana avenue by the City Hall,
sySnd down Louisiana avenue to Pennsylvania
