Rose voiced the oficial welcome and the United Singing Societies raised their voices in mighty chorus. There was also splendd illuminaton and thrilling night run of the Milwaukee fire depart ment. Later there was a banquet at which the Prince met the leading citi- sens of the city and State.
 Just outside of the depot 1000 veterans of the German wars were drawn up. They had come from all parts of the State and they gave the Prince . voliey of cheers as he passed them. The recep- ton of the Prince as he drove through the streets was wildly enthusiastic and there was an ovation when he entered the exposition building for the public re- ception.
 Chorus of 600 Voices.
 As he appeared on the stage escorted by his staff and the reception committee the mass chorus of 800 voices sang Dos Deutsch Lieb. There were 10000 persons packed in the exposition building and 1t was long before they were sufficiently stilled for Mayor Rose to welcome the Prince. The mayor gave way to former Congressman H. V. Deuster who spoke in behalf of the German residents and in their tongue.
 Governor La Toilette then welcomed the Prince in behalf of the State. Cap tain Emil Court, who also spoke in Ger man was the last speaker.
 From the hall the Prince was driven through illuminated streets to the Hotel Pfeister, where the banquet was served. Three toasts were proposed, those to the President of the United States and the Emperor of Germany being drunk while the orchestra played the national airs of the respective countries. This was followed by the toast Prince Henry of Prussia" The prince responded as fol- lows:
 Gentlemen: I will occupy your atten- ton for but a very few moments. as am a trife hoarse, having lost something ing this country. namely. my voice, which l hope however to regain. It. is pleas ure to me to thank you for the hearty welcome you have offered me in this lovely, handsome and sympathetic city of yours, the principal city of Wise onsin and famous for its thrift and industry.
 Credit to the Germans.
 q have heard 1t acknowledged by you as well as by others that the develop ment of Milwaukee is due largely to the German element amongst your citizens. a statement which fills my heart with pride and gladness, inasmuch as l look upon this German element as one of the strongest ties between Germany and the United States (great and continued ap- piause) doubt not that those of German descent will in the future as in the past be a credit to that country which they proudly call their home (applause.) The merits of the city of Milwaukee are known, its industrial products are record ed-not so however. with one point which could not help noticing passing through the crowded streets of the city today--in brief the charming, handsome. sweet and pretty faces belonging to the ever fair sex (great applause. Cries Of we'll. well well and bravo) which are abundant in this city (applause) Allow me to drink to the health and prosperity of the lovely city of Milwaukee"
 At the conclusion of Prince Henry's re- marks Mayor Rose presented to him an elegant bound album containing photo graphs of Milwaukee's public buildings and some the beautiful residences of the city L
 Prince Henry left for the East at 10 o'clock.
