Cleveland, March 5.-Prince Henry was
too tired to appear for any of the recep-
lions informally rendered to him by the
cities through which he passed early to-
day in northwestern Ohio, until his arri-
val in Cleveland at $40. He retired last
night quite fatigued after a day that had
many demands upon him, and slept
through until late this morning. His
train, which left Milwaukee at 1910 last
night, was transferred at Chicago shortly
after midnight to the tracks of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern and left at
once for Cleveland, Buffalo and Niagara.
The people Of Toledo were anxious to
greet the prince, and nearly 1000 of them
were at the station at $40 o'clock when
the special came in and stopped. They
had band and two big bouquets and were
lsready to extend the hospitable hand.
BItssfully Unconscious.
They had telegraphed to the prince ask
/ ing for chance to meet him, but the tel
egram had miscarried, and the prince was
1 sleeping unconscious of the reception.
The band awakened him, but it was TOO
/ late then to get up. The bouquets were
thrown aboard and later in the morning
/ the trainmen presented them to the
| prince.
| There was another crowd at Sandusky,
but the prince had gotten asleep again
! and did not come out. He has stood MS
rapid, trying swing through the country
much better than any of his escort, and IL
well and strong. He was tired last night
but the long, refreshing sleep which nc
! got completely restored him.
There is apprehension about possible
1 delay in New York on account OF Inc
floods and if the train cannot be pu
Through on the routes mapped out Tor
without extended delay it will be trans
1 ferred to a southern line.
