New YORK, May 25.-Eulalle, the
Spanish infanta, is the guest of the
metropolis. Promptly at 10 o'clock this
morning the special train on the Penn
sylvania road pulled out Of the Wash
ington station, and Secretary Gresham,
who represented the government,
grasped the hand of the Princess Eula-
lie. shook it heartily, tipped his hat. and
and jumped to the platform as the train
pulled out. The princess appeared on
the platform for moment and smiled
sweetly in response to the loud hussas
of the crowd. All the way through the
yards were little knots of people anxious
to get a farewell glance at the
infanta, whose democratic simplicity
has won for her the admiration Of
everybody in Washington. The hearty
manner in which her royal highness
responded to Secretary Gresham's thor
oughiy American farewell, shows how
thoroughly she has accommodated her
self to our way of doing things. The
princess remained standing, accompa-
MED by her husband and Commander
Davis, until the people. among whom
were the Spanish legation, passed out of
sight. when she entered the car and
began chatting with her suite.

Pullman dining car Capitol. Despite a
short delay owing to hot box, the train
pulled into Jersey City on time at 8
o'clock. and the princess alighLed,
showing in no wise the effects Of her
journey. She expressed herself as de-
lighted with the trip, and the complete
ness of the arrangements looking espe-
cially to her comfort and convenience.
Her royal highness is
A Good Traveller,
whether on land or sea, and, while oc-
casionally members of her suite show
signs of fatigue, the infanta is always
fresh. So it was that stepping from the
train to the boat she appeared as viva

tered her own drawing room. m aau
