sand persons and at s O'Clock left for In
dianapolis. The princes time here was cut
short one-third by a slight accident which
prevented him from leaving his car as soon
as the train stopped.
The local reception committee had erected
a platform at a point outside the car shed
OF the Tenth Street station Of the Louisville
& Nashville railroad and when the train
stopped a gang plank was put from the
steps OF the last car, and one to the plat
form. The car steps we're too far south Of
the platform and the engineer was signalled
to move ahead. He moved about six feet
and the gang plank became wedged between
the sides Of the vestibule entrance to the
Pullman car and the supports Of the plat
form. The ~gang7lank was half demolished
and the vestibule door was torn of the
car.
The prince stepped from the steps Of the
front platform Of the last car to the tenn
porary platform, accompanied by Colonel
Bingham and several secret service men,
including Chief WiIkie. He was met by q.
Poliier, German consul at Cincinnati, who
presented Mayor Granger Of Louisville.

Of the reception committee and then
formally welcomed the royal visitor to
Louisville in cordial terms.
As Mayor Granger said, at is a great dis
appointment that your visit to the city Is
Of such short duration" the prince inter-
tected, II Am sorry, too"

"They have been waiting here for nearly
an hour to see you and we are all sorry
you could not arrive earlier"
The prince replied:
II got here as soon as I could"
Appreciates the Applause.
He had evidently not seen the extent of
the crowd on account Of arkness and the
fact that he was surrounded by members Of
the reception committee. The prince
stepped to one side of the platform and the
crowd cheered- He touched his admiral's
fatigue cap and encouraged by the con-
tinued cheers Of the crowd, stepped upon q
bench near the railing Of the platform. For
this extra exertion he got q roar Of cheers
from the crowd. which be repeatedly ac-
knowledged by saluting.
Turning to Mayor Granger, Prince Henry
said he was a little hoarse and therefore
would not attempt to make a speech. He
mentioned that 9 splendid crowd. had turned
out to see him and then said to the mayor:
BE kind enough TO give my thanks to
your people for this royal reception"
