HR.H Arthur, w. p. A. Guelph, X. g., ar
rived In New York yesterday direct from Mon
tTeal This fortunate young man, whose yoln-
minous name is announced with tail at both
ends is the third son and seventh child OF the
Queen of Great Britain, and Is therefore ac-
corded position of prominence in the world.
He was born on the LIST day OF May, 1901. lie Is

wich, and is lieutenant in the regiment OF Lord
Alexander George Russell, stationed in Canada
He came out last fall to join his regiment ac-
companied by retlnue suitable 1or frlnce'
The expense of transporting this young lleuten-
ami to his regiment was Ei3,0OO, the bllls Tor
which, when presented to the Chancellor oil the
Exchequer were promptly repudiated, the
honest burly old peer remarking that II the
youpg man chose to travel in royal state he
might foot his own bills. Whether the little ac-
count has yet been settled or not has not been
ascertained Mrs. Guelph, however, is reported
to be n wealthy woman, and Is undoubtedly able
to pay the little travelling expenses of her minor
children.
Through the courtesy of Commodore Wander
bilt this scion of British royalty has travelled
thus far in the United States in regal splendor,
though merely at the cost of frst-class tickets
for himself and suite. The Commodore sent his
private car to Montreal expressly for the use of
the young man. In this princely conveyance
III. K. a. found everything that even royalty
could demand, appears from the fact that he
rode the entire distance from Montreal to New
York, occupying twenty-five hours time without
served him in the car, and at Troy, breakfast.
Arthur's suite comprises Colonel the Hon.
John Frederick Elphinstone, Lieutenant-C Colonel
of the Scots Fuslier Guards, who accompanies

ter Of the horse, superintendent OF transporta-
ton; Lieutenant Fitzroy, OF the Ritie Brigade,
aide-de-camp or private secretary; yalet two
gentlemen in liveries, Vulgarly termed lackeys
and police officer.
The valet of the Princeis agentleman by birth
and education, as his manner, dress, and car
riage betoken, although cur reporter was uu-
fortunate in not learning his name. He very
closely resembles, in figure and style, some
gentlemen by birth and education of this city.
In fact he is nobby young man, with a
penchant for French airs rather than those of
American curiosity asserted itself on the ar
rival this party at the Thirteenth street station
of the Hudson River Railroad New York, soon
after noon yesterday, where q crowd of several
hundred men and women were assembled to gaze
at them. These, however, were held in pretty
fair subsection by the police during the alight-
ing of the royal party Mr.. Edward Thornton,
the British Minister at Washington, and his
secretary, met them at the depot.
They Immediately entered carriages that were
in waiting, and drove rapidly to the Brevoort
House, a few men in the crowd shouting after
them, and two or three ladies waving handker-
chiefs.
Entering the Brevoort House, he was met by
Wait. the proprietor, who bade him welcome.
Inc IrlnCG DOWCu HIS tnauks, anu NSut up W
the apaTtmeI is prepared for him.
Mr.. Archibald, the british Consul, sent rouad
at $50 two quick travelling carriages and the
party sailed forth to see the glories of the
world-ceebrated Central Park. The carriage
passed out of the Park about 4 o'clock and passed
down Fifth avenue and pulled up at the Bre-
WORT House at 4'30
Immediately after dinner the Prince and party
started on foot for Wallacks Theatre precisely
at six and half minutes to eight.
Alongside of the Prince sat Mr. Archibald,
British Consul who looked as If he had been
cut out of q cheese-paring; Mr.. Thornton, the
British Minister, with his usual gooseberry-fool
expression; and Mr.. Trench, son of the Earl
of Clancarty, and attache of the British Lega-
ton. During the evening the Prince gave une-
quivocal expressions of his admiration of Mr..
Walaek's acting and Mt the moonlight march
broke iout sympathetically into expressions of
enthusiasm. Mr.. Richelieu Robinson, one OF
the Fenan head-centres, was in the audience,
but the Prince was not molested.
The audience slowly departed from the theatre,
all seemingly reluctant to move farther than the
inner doorway, until they had q nearer view OF
the Prince, who, seeing that they were deter
mined TO await his departure finally with his
suite, worked his way TO the door. There was
not the least sign of any demonstration until he
arrived at the vestibule of the theatre, when
some one sung out:-"Three cheers for Prince
Arthur The call received thin response, but
some one who did not know his close proximity
to the royalist said:-"Where in - is the
Prince? Ill cheer him." The Prince looked
and Immediately thereafter the cheers were
again proposed, and they were given with will
Arthur raised his hat. He then departed
escorted by Captain Hedden with small squad
of police and detectives, who surrounded the
royal party, followed by crowd.
