He stopped for formal re- captions at Altoona, Pittsburg, Columbus and Cincinnati. but t..e He;S0me extended to him was not limited to those places. Everywhere along the line, after day light came and until long after darkness, the people gathered at the stations to cheer him as he speeded along. The storm that swelled the rivers to the danger point had passed away and he saw zone or three states in bright sunlight He saw a stretch of fifty miles of the Allegheny Mountains from the cab of an engine, and most of it was down grade at speed that thrilled.
 Lost Two Hours by Wreck.
 The train had lost two hours at Portage by reason of a wreck to the westward of that point, and when the special got clear track again an attempt was made to win back some of the time that had been lost. When not responding to the crowds, the prince was busy sightseeing ana studying a large map.

 Reached Cincinnati Late.
 The train bearing Prince Henry and party reached this city at S:45 and re- mained half an hour for the demonstra- ticn at the Pan Handle depot. when it was transferred across the city and left over the Queen and Crescent route through the Blue Grass region of Ken. lucky for Chattanooga. Although the train arrived here late, there were from 30.000 to 40 GOO people in the vicinity and half that many within the depot and yards. A large platform had been erected so that Prince Henry and suite could step from their car to it. Over this plat form was a large canopy in design of electric lights. with the coat-ofarms of Germany and of the United States H. luminated Awaiting the arrival of the special train, the United German Singing Societies of Cincinnati. the University Cadets and other organizations as well ss most of the people in the assembled multitude. were freely supplied with German and American flags When the train was signaled the bands struck up and the multitude was waving the flags of the two countries as the train of Prince Henry pulled into the depot. The whole police fierce of the city was mar shaled in and about the depot and per feet order was maintained although pa trol wagons took away several loads of fainting women who had fallen in the surging crowds.
 Crowd Ran Over Officers.
 The officers were overcome at some of the depot gates, where hundreds rushed without cards and hundreds of others gained admittance by going a great dis tance beyond the depot and coming in through the yards. Before the train stopped persons were seen climbing on top of it. and the tops of the cars were literally covered with men while the prince was alighting and officers were compelled to patrol the tops and clear them before leaving the Gepot. When the prince and suite stepped from the car to the platform he was met by Mayor Ju- Illus F'leischman and large reception committee of leading citizens. The prince was escorted to the front of the platform and introduced to the multitude A long series of cheering and waving of flags of the two countries followed. while others frcm the train crowded out to the plat form. Prince Henry kept touching his cap to the crowd and when quiet was restored Mayor Flsischmar welcomed the distinguished guest in the name of Cin- cinnat.
 Prince Henry responded briefly to the address of welcome, saying.
 "I have been prohibited from speaking in the open air. and especially at night, but will say word to such multitude as this.
 "I have been met by large crowds of people of Ohio today and greeted with demonstrations of the greatest considera- tion, but l have not today or any other time seen such multitude and such a demonstration as this. l thank you cor dially for your good will I am sorry I can't talk to you longer and meet and shake hands with all of these good peo- pie. but time will not allow me to do so. I appreciate most highly this demonsta- tion from the people of Cincinnati and I trust your honor and your committee will be able to express to them my gratitude more fully than I am able to do at this time.''
