account Of the military review, during which
ths Prince was arrayed as a Colonel Of the
British Army, is thus described:
The Mayor and his guests alighted in front
Of the City Hall, where platform had been
6 constructed and carpeted. from which the
Royal party was to see the troops march by.
IN the centre of the platform stood the Prince
IN his right were, first the Mayor, then the
Duke Of Neweas lie, next him Gen. Bruce; on
his left were Lord Lyons and the Earl OF ST
tiermsns. Behind them stood the rest Of the
Roysl party. Gen. Sanford, after giving the
order for the troops to march, stationed him
self on horseback near the right of the plat.

marching salute, and TO every officer as each
passed he touched his hat. General Sandford
"Tell the Prince only TO salute the colors and
not every officer" Gen. Bruce spoke to the
Prince and then answered Gen. Sandford say
Ing that the Prince felt as If he could do no
less than return the salute of the officers, but
tAst il Gen. Sanford wished 1t he would sa-

kicked by horse early in the day, and so Sc

Twelfth Regiment followed, marching well
and much applauded. The other regimen to

bands took especial pains TO perform their
lyeliest antics just as they came under the
eye OF the distinguished visitors. The Prince
smiled repeatedly at their exhibitions. When

were heard, rs that the Seventh Regiment 7"

The Mayor, as the various regiments passed.
told the Prince of their characteristics These
we're all Germans; those Were all French :;
this an American Regiment; this "crack''
corps; that fragment OF q command. When
the Scotch Regiment passed, "Ah II said Gen.
Bruce, these are my countrymen." The
Duke of Newcastle said the reception was
more than gratifying-it was magnificent
The authorities deserved great credit but the
people more. He saw that we had an admi-
rabe police in New York but in cities of the
West in which they had no police, the people
behaved exceedingly well. They had been
treated with kindness ever since they crossed
the border. The Duke then alluded to a re-
port which had appeared in some Of the daily
papers to the effect that the Prince had beea
annoyed and insuited in Richmond. Hsdenied
that such an incident had occurred, and re-
greied that IL had appeared in the public
