New YORK, May 90.-At 1:3o o'clock

party drove from the hotel through

coated mounted police in front and rear.
A score of private carriages swung into
line behind those of the royal party.
The princess expressed her admiration
of the park, and was much amused In
passing the mall. where about 500 boys
were playing ball. The entire crowd
stopped their games and ran across the
field to the drive, where they stood
and cheered as the princess passed.
The party left the park at Seventy
second street and drove west to River
side drive. Here the beautiful pano-
rama of the Hudson spread out before
the royal visitors, and the Infanta ex-
claimed with delight at the view. She
asked Gen. Porter how high the drive is
l60 feet. She admired several of the
fine residences along the drive and the
drive itself. The party drove at rapid
pace all the way up to One Hundred
and Twenty-second street and around
the Clermont circle, arriving at the
tomb of Gen. Grant at 2:25.

with the party, but the infanta stopped
| him, and, taking the wreath, which was
| three feet in diameter and very heavy,
in her own hands, carried it into the
tomb and placed it at the head or the
! casket. The wreath was crescent
| shaped, with a body of maidenhair
ferns covered with lilies. orchids, and
