Incidents Of His Visit to New

disturbed the social and commercial equilibrium
OF Massachusetts,. He has had a very cordial well
come, to be sure, and the people are GLAD to meet
him; but there has been an absence Of that
'pomp, splendor and enthusiasm" which some
times associates itself with friendly call from a
royal visitor. We are not to have the inevitable
Dal, and, on account OF the cherries weather, IL
is probable that the sable King Will be spared the
infection Of an excursion down the harbor. 1t is
possible, too, that he may escape the Common
and Harvard College, but Of this there Is
no positive assurance at the present moment Of
writing. The misfortune Of visiting New England
in the dead OF winter was, perhaps, inevitable,
and 1t is more to be lamented that the particular
day selected for his advent here was by far the
coolest OF tho whole season. There had been
nothing that began to approach 1t in severity and
that His Highness has escaped without being
frostbittsn Is matter OF International congratu-
lation.
MEMORIES OF HOME.
The entertainment AFFORDED the King by his visit
at New Bedford he speaks of as one OF the most
pleasing That he has experienced since he came
to the country. He met among the old whalers
and sea captains quite number who knew him in
early youth, and for the moment his memories
reverted 10 his far-ofr home. hundred or more
OF the old salts were presented to him before he
left the city, and among the number was Captain
only survivor of the crew OF the first whaler
which called at the Sandwich Islands sew
enty-fve years ago. The Captain, who was
then Q mere youth, remembers distinctly the
fact that the Queen OF the Island swan out to the
ship to meet and welcome the American crew.
This circumstance Captain Gardiner related to the
King explaining that he remembered the Queen
as woman weighing ABOUT two hundred pounds,
and In looks quite distinguished. The King, with
a slight twinkle in his eye said that he had for
gotten the circumstance, and he also confessed
that he had forgotten the days when an old lady
present trotted him on her knee while guest OF
his parents. frequently he INDUCED in
brief conversations with the Oldest of the
captains, and he seemed very happy when inquiry
was made about any particular members OF his
royal ancestry. There were many incidents OF
the New Bedford visit, from the moment of arrival
until the moment OF departure, which were calcu-
lated to remind the King OF home, and he so ex-
pressed mselI on several occasions. The recep-
ton accorded him by the CITIZENS as well as by
the city authorities, was OF the most generous
nature, and the distinguished visitor was very
much affected by 1t.
THE VISIT TO BOSTON.
1t is probable tnat the King and his party will
spend week Whereabouts in and around
Boston, and during his stay all demonstrations in
his honor VIII he of private and informal char

apartments were prepared for his reception There

Mayor Cable and lew other city oflcals,
toGether with half dozen prominent, citizens,
composed the array OF humanity assembled to ex-
tend the hospitality OF Boston to the King OF the
Hawaiian Islands. But this was all very fitting,
Tor His Majesty was very tired and well nigh
frozen to death when he arrived, and a formal re-
ception woulc have been "such a bore"
THE VISIT TO THE AMERICAN BOARD.
The courtesies extended by the American Board
OF Com l,tssioners OF Foreign Missions was an
affair OF much significance and pleasure. Through

on Jay street, and very delightful evening was
spent
