INcoG IN ENGLAND.


 The presence of the German crown prince in England caused somewhat of a sensation, and naturally every one thought that his imperial highness must have come to the British isles in search of a wife, especially as the Duke and Duchess of Connauglt have two such charming daughters of q suitable age. The crown prince, how ever, is only on pleasure bent, and he is most thoroughly enjoying his visit to Great Britain, in which he can do exactly as he wishes and follow his own devices in the simplest manner possible. His imperial highness spent his time in London in seeing all the sights. He visited the Tower, West minister abbey and various other places. and everywhere he took his ko- dak with him, and took views of all Inose polnUS which seemed to him of special interest.
 It had for long time been his wish to pay an incognitO visit to England and Scotland and I hear that he is also anxious later to visit Ireland and see for himself what the people and country are like. He has very strong likes and dislikes and decided views on all matters and the German emperor is anxious that his eldest son, and probably his successor, should have an opportunity of studying the ways and manners of other nations during his youth. The crown prince will not only visit Great Britain but in the fu- ture he is to pay similar visits to Rus sia, Austria, Italy, Spain and Norway and Sweden.
 It must be remembered that the crown prince is still very young, for he only completed lis nineteenth year on May 6, and he is now student at the Bonn university. He spent his school days at the school for military cadets at Pioei. where he won golden opinions from those who were engaged in his tuition Many pretty stories are related about him and his kindness of heart, and more especially of his dislike for all parade and pomp. He did not mind carrying parcels if nee essary, and preferred to lead as simple a life as possible. His greatest pleas ure is in music, and had he not been prince and the heir to an empire, it is certain that he would have become a professional musician. At ploen his teachers had always q somewhat diff ficult task to prevent him from giving too much time to the study of music, and the hours he spent with his below ed violin went all too quickly. The prince is a masterly performer, and he has already shown himself possessed of the gift of composition. 'salso takes an immense interest in the stage and is devoted to dancing; in fact he has all the tastes of a young man, and at present thoroughly enjoys his life. The emperor does not want his eldest son to marry too early in life, and he wishes him to enjoy his youth, and. little by little, to get accustomed to the duties which will later be his. Al ready the crown prince has represented his father on several occasions, and has done so with a dignified manner. The German emperor knowing bow much his father suffered by not being allowed to have any knowledge of state affairs during the lifetime of Emperor Wilhelm I, is determined that his own son shall, from the first, be initiated into the affairs of govern ment and take his part in public af- fairs Even as a little boy, Kaiser Wilhelm discussed weighty matters with his eldest son, and made a com panion of him, with the result that q perfect confidence now exists between them, and the crown prince is quite capable. should the occasion arise, of acting as regent. His imperial high ness has a most generous and affec- tionate nature, and he is devoted to his parents, and has an especial love for his only sister, who simply adores him. He is a good all-around sports man, an excellent shot, rides well, is q good whip and is also fond of boating and cycling, tennis, and, in fact, takes an interest in all active outdoor pur- suits. Like all the members of his family he is a good linguist, and nat urally, his English is perfect, as he was always obliged to talk English when with his grandmother, the late Empress Frederick though it is said that, as little boy, he often rebelled. and remarked that he preferred to speak German in Germany Times
