Prince Arthur returned from Washington to
New York on Saturday night, and yesterday
morning, accompanied by the British Consul
and five other gentlemen, he attended service at
Trinity Church. On his entrance the national
anthem of Great Britain was played. The rega-
lar services of the day were solemnized by the
Rev. Dr. Ogilby, the Rev. Mr.. Whipple. aud the
Rev. DIR. Vinton. The Rev. DR.. Dix preached
the sermon from the 18th verse; 25th chapter of st.
Matthew, on the parable of the talents, in which
he taught that every one has his accountability
proportiOncd to the position he holds in the
world. The music consisted of the ordinary
service, including the 1e Deunl and Jubitdte,
the anthem ''1he Grace of God that Brlugeth
Salvation" and the ohertory "And the Glory of
the Lord from Handors messiah" Mr.. A.
II. Messiter conducted the music of the choir,
while John p. Morgan presided Mt the great
organ. A solo in the anthem sung by Master
Lindig chorister of remarkable strength of
voice and purity OF expression, was greatly
admired. 1t was noticed as n singular coin
cidence that lesson for the Both day was the
10th Psalm, in which occurs the caution,
"Put not your trust in princes nor in any child
of man, for there is no help in them" The
choir boys, as they intoned this verse, seemed
to relish the sentiment hugely, and their un-
timely though eXcusable mirth was with some
difficulty repressed large crowd was present
during the services The Prince occupied the
same seat which his elder brother occupied when
he worshpped in old Trinity; and after the de-
parture of the distinguished visitor, number
of young ladies rushed into the pew, one at u
time, to enjoy the ecstacy OF sitting where live
prince had sat-
After leaving Trinity the Prince was in few
minutes once more in his comfortable rooms at
the Brevoort, and, making some slight changes
in his dress, lunched with the members of his
suite at o'clock. Several visitors soon after
called and sent mp their cards-among others
Moses H. Grinnell. William Butler Duncan, and
e. V. Sleighton-all of whom met with cordial
and polite reception. Half an hour was spent
in social conversation when the Prince expressed
his desire to take walk in order to brush up an
appetite for dinner.
About o'clock, accompanied by his suite and
Mr.. Thornton, he left the hotel and walked off
rapidly up Fifth avenue. The gentlemen all
wore dark overcoats, light pants, high hats,
scarfs, and carried canes of bamboo or some
other light material. The party was thoroughly
English in style and appearance and attracted
much attention in the street. The Prince, wear
ing coat buttoned tightly around him at the
waist, holding his elbows somewhat out from
his body, and bending forward at the shoulders,
looked little awkward and ungainly, but his
abilities pedestrian are beyond criticism
and Weston, Topley, or Westhall would have
died with chagrin and envy could they have wit
messed his performance of yesterday.
Rapidly passing up the avenue, and looking
neither to the right nor the left, the party soon
reached the Park, and turning into one of the
smoothly graded paths, redoubled pace which
had been quick before. Several people had fol-
lowed the visitors from the avenue, and many
joined the throng in the Park so that by the
time the lower end of the Mall was reached
nearly hundred people were keeping up sort
of dog-trot in the rear of the Englishmen. Mr..
Thornton looked around and saw the rabbe fol-
lowing in their wake, and at once led off down u
by-path in the direction of the Eighth avenue at
an increase of speed, with the evident object of
leaving his prosecutors behind, and soon accom-
plished his purpose, for his pace was hot one,
and was not kept up long by many even for the
doubtful privilege of looking at live prince.
| Going up the west side of the Park, the party
| gradually swung around to the Ramble and the
Lakes, the Prince evidently enjoying his tramp
thoroughly and gazing with an admirng eye
| upon the many beauties which cannot be seen
nor appreciated while carriage riding. Soon
after four the party took up the homeward
march, and keeping up the same rapid gait,
| passed the gauntlet of admiring eyes on the
| avenue, and reached the hotel again at half
| past five. having covered in the two hours and a
half of absence eleven or twelve miles
| At o'clock the Prince and party dined. The
remainder of the evening was spent socially in
| his rooms, and in writing letters home.
| Tomorrow he will drive again. and probably
| go up the Bloomingdale road to High Bridge
In the evening, attended by his suite, he will
| dine with Mr.. William B. Duncan.
