throughout the world The visit of
the prince to the United States in 1860
is recalled with undiminished interest
by the older residents of the large
cities which he included in his tour.
In the early autumn of that year the
prince reached America on the man
of-War, Hope, landing at st. Johns,
Newfoundland. He was ACCOMPANIED
by the duke of Newcastle, lord ST.
Germans, General Prince and General
Teesdale. There was tremendous en-
thusiasm throughout Canada. In
Quebec $4,000 people met him. He laid
corner-stones and was entertained al
most to death. President Buchanan
invited him to visit the United States.

democratic Americans. He went to
Chicago and shot prairie chickens. He
visited Boston, Philadelphia, Rich
mond and Washington. He took off
his hat beside Washington's tomb and
planted chestnut tree there.
