AS Prince Henry passed from the station
platform into this sumptuous little parlor
he very gracously lifted his plumed chapeau
to the little knot of newspaper men gath
cred at the portal The general trim, natty,
well -groomed appearance of the prince had
already attracted favorable attention, and
when he touched his hat to the party OF
news writer's the favorable attention was
changed to admiring comment. The princes
act was entirely spontaneous and was of
his own initiative. The members OF the
party quickly lifted their hats in recogni-
ton Of the pretty courtesy.
With the disappearance Of the prince
into the ante room the party at the depot
turned it's attention to the members of
the suite and the American representatives.

Arrangements Admirable.
The arrangements at the station for the
reception of the prince We're admirable in
every detail. Perfect order was maintained
throughout and the scheduled events were
carried out with promptness and dispatch.
The prince and those who accompanied
him. although they led in the journey up
the avenue to the White House, were the
last to leave the station The committee
having the arrangements in charge real
iZed that to have the prince leave the sta
ton first and then wait until his suite and
those accompanying them We're safely
placed in carriages and were ready to
start would subject the royal visitor to an
unnecessary amount of cynosure on the
part of the inquisitive, even though re-
spectful, public.
The carriage in which the prince rode and
those that accommodated the members of
his suite were furnished by local livery
man. and it is said they were used for the
first time today. The coachmen and foot
men wore rosettes of the German colors in
their silk hats. Those mounted on the
box of Prince Henry's carriage wore tan
livery, while the others were clad in dark
cloth.
