he preferred TO go to the Brevoort, and as the
last carriage drove away one of the receiving
marty. filed with the enthusiasm that permeated
the whole crowd, cried out: Forward. to the
BrevoOrt"
The Prince is splendid specimen of a man.
He is six feet two inches lin height, and weighs
over 200 pounds He is only twenty-five years
old and there is no vestige of beard upon his
round. smooth face. His features are we'll
formed. and he has the manner of quiet, modest
and retiring young man. He was dressed in
lght-hrown sadS suit of an invisible plaid figure
He wore black derby hat and darkcolored
tie In his hand he carried a light ash stick,
which was tied to his wrist by a thong. This is
the same stick which was used 70 such good ad
vantage Ny tie Prince in the defence of the
Czarewitch at the time the latter was attacked in
Japan The Prince is a powerful man. 1t is
said that his hands and fingers arc so strong that
he can take an ordinary silver coin and twist it
into screw shape without any great eXertion.
The Prince, is usual with members of royal
families and persons in high places in the service
of foreign Governments, is travelling incognito.
He is known in this country as Count Fastcr, a
captain IN The Imperial Russian Army. 1t is true,
however that BE does held this rank, but it is
simply an honor which is of no practical sig
nifcance The Prince is also an officer of the
Danish Navy, with the rank of lieutenant. IL
Is IN the Greek Navy, however, that he is in
teested. He holas the rank of a lieutenant. and
in active service, being in charge of the torpedo
squadron The Prince is highly educated, and
hsah, besides the Greek language, English,
French, Danish and Russian with great fiuency.
The long journey across the continent with only
one days intermissOn fatigued him, strong as he
Is, and he declined to see any of the numerous
callers who left their cards after his arrival.
II has been planned TO take the Prince TO the
Navy Yard to-day. Tomorrow visit TO West
Point will be made and on the same evening a
dinner will be given 10 him at Delmonicos by a
few Of the Greeks living in the CITY, On Fri
day the Prince will be taken around the city,
visiting some Of the public buildings, and after
ward driving through Central Park On Satur-
DAY he will sail the Servla for London, and
Thence to Copenhagen, 10 be present at the cele-
DIsI0n Of the gOlden wedding of King Christian
Of Denmark
,be fact that there is no Greek Minister resi-
deht III this country accounts for the part that
The Charge d'Aifaircs OF the Russian Legation is
taxing III The entertainment OF the Prince. Tie
Close family ties, however, which exist between
0reece and Russia, and the official position which
The Prince has assumed during his journey as a
Russian officer, are additional reasons why the
russian legation should have charge of the
Prince. His mother is a daughter of Duke
Constantine, the Cars brother. IL is rumored
aiSo that the relation between these two families
Will be more strongly united by the marriage of
tne Prnces sister 10 the CZarewitch. The en-
gagemcnt, however, has not Yet been announced.
