vastness of the country and it's re-
sources, which the capital of the Unit
ed States and the great commercial
centers of the East alone could not
have given him. But more than this
impression, he values the hearty well
come which he met in all the places

reception, and especially he wishes to
express his thanks to those, who early

with music and cheers.
The receptions by the great cities
of the South and the Middle West were
more than he had ever expected, and
so were the receptions in the East. Fut
his royal highness is equally thankful
for what the smaller places did in
showing him their good will, though
the train in such places stopped only
a few minutes and frequently not at
