1t seems that Boston is 60 the roughly contented with

So the easier duty Of recording, 10 rome general

Of yesterday is all that rests with me- II at any mo.

as to being able to yield to the utter extremity of self
exultaion which now pervades this community. II Is
fair enough to declare that throughout the Princes
tour in no city of the United States and perhaps in
Canadian Gy, has any equally remarkable popular
demonstration been offered him; but have yet some
hesitation in admitting that al spondors and gorss
and rensments and delicaces, wherever encountered

ought to interfere With the smooth narration Of yester
day e interesting proceedings.
The multitude that in The morning filed the streets

Of all the streets through which yesterdays procession

city was interrupted. Even the expresses declined to
undertake their ordinary tasks. There was large i'm
toriaton of country visitors we'll disposed for holt
cay, and overlowirg with exuberant sentiment The
stores were mostly closed. A Fourth of July could
hsrdy be universally celebrated and would never
be celebrated with such order and perfect good feeling.
There was very little indication of police regulation,
while, indeed, never was less needed.
Before leaving the Revere House to visit the capitol,
and witness the review upon the Common, the Prince
wac visited by the Revolutionary soldier Ralph Farm
ham, who remained converting with him for half an
hour Excepting a singular and suggestive incident,
their meeting was of little interest Mr.. Farnham,
however, certainly said good thing, if the report be
true While speaking of the Prince, he observed: 81

Prince and most of his suite drove to the State House,
ard were received by Governor Banks with a
short address, than which nothing could have
been in more admirable TASTE After looking
in at the Legislative chambers, the party then pro-
ceeded to the Common, for the review. The military
daplay was fair. The Prince, as well most of his
companions, in uniform, and all were mounted. The
review was short, but the procession which folio we'd

escorted through streets thronged that in many
places the passage was accomplished with extreme

The event next following the public procession
the most remarkable of all in which the Prince has
taken part during bis American tour. This was the
entertainment given him at the Music Hall, where
200 children from the city schools welcomed him
with demonstration, the like of which, think, has
never been elsewhere known. With tbs ordinary fss

and for these the pen is always ready

which only the fancy-work of mere adornment is
thought necessary to be varied. But here was

more remarkable in its dasimlarity from all others,
