when the train, under the control of Captain John
Vandaniker started for this city. 1t swept along
the banks of the Susquehanna, where the beauti

the eyes of the royal party and called forth expires
sons of admiration; the first stop made at York
Haven, fifteen miles from Harrisburg; supply of
wood and water was taken, when the train again
moved on, passing through the town of York with
out stopping. Thousands of people had gathered
at this point, with the expectation that the train
would stop and they would have an opportunity of
welcoming the Prince. In this, however, they
were disappointed, and were compelled to be salts
fed with the train alone.
AS it passed through the borough the multitude
cheered Justify. After leaving York the speed was
increased, and the train went dashng along at a
rapid rate. At each of the stations crowds of the
country people had gathered, who cheered as the
train went by. At Parkton it stopped to renew

this point many people had assembled, and mani
tested their welcome by round of cheers

only to be disappointed. Some of them, and par

stuck on the top of his head stepped from the car
to the platform and the cry of ''that's him. pro-

House omnibus, and the vision of the Prince

platform to wait for the extra train.
large number of people had gathered at the
| Bolton depot, under the impression that the train
would stop there, and the Prince and suite take
carriages for Camden street depot In this of
course they were disappointed, and as soon as they
discovered their error, they started en- nosss for
Calvert street. All parts of the city sent hundreds
to the scene, many of whom were women, and the
| crowd increased until several thousand people
| were present.
| Forty policemen, under command of Lieutenant
Grady had been detailed for duty around the depot
Previous to the arrival ofthe train portion of them
were stationed on the platform, where the Prince
would alight. 1t was with difficulty that the crowd
could be kept off the platform. Deputy Marshal
Thomas Clifford was on the ground directing the
police arrangements, and his admirable disposition
| of the force insured quiet arrival
| At twenty minutes of two o'clock the train was
| announced The crowd redoubled its exertions to
press upon the platform, but the police performed
their duty, and it was kept back. Among the first

appearance was hailed with rounds of cheers in
| acknowledgment of which he raised his hat and
bowed. Mayor Swami and other gentlemen were
then introduced The Mayor, in few remarks
| welcomed the Prince and then escorted him to one
of the carriages in waiting, into which he stepped
Just as the train arrived, the band attached to

| the carriage, but file ofpoce had been placed at
either side of it, who with much exertion succeeded
in preventing the people from thrusting themselves
| against the vehicle
| Several cheers were given and the carriages pro-
ceeded out Calvert street to Eager, up Eager street
to Charles, down Charles street to Baltimore, and
along Baltimore street to Eutaw, and thence to the
depot. All along the line the windows of the
| houses showed fair faces. The streets were lined
| with people, and vast multitude followed at the
| side of the carriages.
Camden street station presented lively appear
ance. For hours before his arrival at that point
thousands of people had gathered in and around
| the depot, anxiously awaiting him. Capt. Gard
ner, of the Southern district police, was in atten-
| dance with posse of forty officers He had the
| same difficulty in keeping back the crowd that was
experienced by the officers at the Calvert depot
The people desired to occupy the platform, and the
orders to the officers to keep it clear, conse-
quently some unpleasant incidents occurred, and
| some who considered themselves aggrieved by being
forced from the platform, went to the trouble of
taking down the numbers of the officers for the
purpose of reporting them.
When the carriage containing the Prince arrived,
| there was tremendous rush for the front of the
Office Building, on Camden street. With consid-
cradle difficulty the Prince jumped from the car
riage and was soon inside the buildipp giyinp
| those who had thronged around him but an in
! stant to see him. Once in the large nall of the
building he was secure from the pressure and hid
! from the view of the people. There was then an
other rush for the south end of the office. The car
| which was to receive the Prince was brought to
within few feet of the south door oftte building and
was of beautiful finish and fitted up in the most
convenient manner. The party remained in the
hall but few minutes, when the Prince made his
| appearance on the platform, walking between his
Honor Mayor Swami and John W. Garrett, Esq,
the President of the Railroad Company. The peo-
pie cheered slightly, and the Prince apparently en-
gagged in interesting conversation with the gentle
men at his side, walked along the platform until he
reached the south end of the car, when he entered
At this point the excited thousands became un.
comfortable, and the police regulations, which had
been carefully observed were broken and in an in
stant the long platforms at either side of the train
were thronged with the mass. There were cheers
and cries for the Prince of Wales, and finally one
or two over-enthusiastc individuals attempted to
spring upon the platform of the car but they were
caught by the police and pushed back. Not more
than five minutes elapsed from the time the Prince
entered the car until the signal whistle was heard
from the locomotive, and in instant the train
was in motion.
The utmost precaution was taken by the Com
pany to ensure safe journey over the road. The
train containing the royal party had exclusive use
of the road between certain hours, and trains of all
descriptions had to keep clear of the track. Men
were stationed at all the crossings to see that no
animals were near, and at all the switches the en-
poyees stood with white flags, as signals that all
was right. 1t will be seen by the following despatch
that the Prince arrived safe in Washington city,
