Prince Henry left the locomotive, in
which he had been riding, and a shah

but secret service men stopped him ana
turned him away. 1t is doubtful that he
had any intent other than to see the
prince.
The first halt of the morning was made
at Altoona, where a committee of citi-
Zens presented an address of welcome.
Their meeting with the prince was anus
ing. He had arisen some time before,
and for the first time since his arrival in
the country was dressed as a civilian. He
Wore a gray tweed sack suit and black
derby hat.
He was standing on the platform of
the car when the committee filed up and
the first man bumped into him before he
saw him. Apologizing, the man asked to
be taken to Prince Henry. The prince
smiled, bowed and said, Il am Prince
Henry" The committeeman looked en-
barraSsed, but, recovering their cOmpos-
IRE, went through the ceremony of greet
ing.
The prince thanked him. and then went
outside to acknowledge the cheers of q
large crowd gathered in the depot
grounds. The local band was also on
hand and filled the rest of a 10-minute
stop with serenade of popular music,
There was a warm parting cheer as the
train steamed out of the station.
After breakfast the prince got his prom
ised ride through the mountains in the
cab of the engine. A stop was made at
Lilly.
Accompanied by Lieut.. Commander
Egidy and George w. Boyd of the Penn
sylVania Railroad he walked forward and
climbed into the engine. j. w. Giichrlst
was at the throttle as engineer, and the
fireman was II. G. Palmer.
The prince shook hands with them. and,
taking the engineers seat, directed that
the train be sent ahead The run was
through a wild section of the Alleghanies,
and the prince was very enthusiastic
over the ride and scenery.
At Bradenville the train was stopped,
and the prince, with cinder-marked face
and begrimed hands, returned to his car
AS he returned to the car he laughed
at the sport OF his ride through the noun
tans and said that he had had a splendid
time. He put on his uniform as admiral.
and the members of his suite and the
military and naval members of the Amer
lean escort also put on their uniforms.
No other stops were made on the way to
Pittsburg.
At Pittsburg the prince was greeted
by brass band and the German singing
societies of Allegheny county. Fully 2o0W
people lines the boulevard and streets
about the station. Prince Henry was pre-
scented with a large floral token and an
address was handed to him.
The prince appeared on the rear plat
form and thanked the committees in an
address OF a few words.
The train arrived at LA O'Clock and
departed Just 10 minutes later.
