BOSTON. Mass, March 6.-Greeted by
enthusiastic cheers from thousands OF
Bost5nians standing cheerfuIlv ankle
deep in sIush, but with. u brilliant food
OF sunshine streaming down from cloud
less sky, Prince Heury had his first
glimpse of the Hub this morning. and
the Hub had its first glimpse of Prince
Henry. The result was satisfactory to
both.
The Hub approves Prince Henry and

Boston Was through with the distin-
guished visitor temporarily, Harvard Uni
versity and Cambridge took him up and
did not return him to Boston again until
he was an LII. d. of Harvard. Indeed, the
greater part of the daylight portion of
his visit was devoted TO the university,
and it was there that the most interest
ing ceremonies of the occasion occurred.
Banquet in the Evening.
In the evening Boston again had him at
the banquet given by the city in his
honor at the Somerset and at a private
reception after the banquet at the resi-
dence of Mrs Montgomery Sears. All the
rest of his time was devoted to Cam
bridge and Harvard. He has had many
eventful and interesting days since he ar
rived in America, but none more so than
the one just ended.
1t was 9:35 O'Clock when the princes
train came into the South Terminal sta
tion this morning, and it was just one
minute ahead of time. Its promptness was
a happy surprise to Boston. While the
furious snowstorm was raging last even
ing few people believed that the prince
would arrive before late in the afternoon,
but the New York Central, with its Bos-
ton and Albany adjunct had no intention
OF coming in limping in a contest of this |
sort
Swift Engines Used.
Two of its strongest and swiftest pas
senger engines had hold of the heavy
train of seven cars in which the prince
travels. and it was a case of holding back
TO avoid being too much ahead OF the /
schedule rather than OF running to make |
up lost time.
Half an hour before the train got in as |
many people as could get standing room
in Dewey Square, opposite the station,
were sloshing around in the sea of water
and melting snow several inches deep that .
This forenoon filed all the Boston streets.
Comparatively few people were admit
ted to the big trainshed of the station,
and there were only faltering attempts at .
cheering. either when the train came to a |
standstill or when the prince with Mayor
Collins on his right and Chief Wilkie on
his left, walked down the long landing
platform toward the main entrance where
the carriages were waiting.
Presented to the Prince.
The mayor, prior to this. had entered
the car, where he was presented to the
prince His secretary, Mr.. Curran, went
in with him, and he, too, was presented.
Three other gentlemen accompanied the
mayor as representatives of America s
culture storm centre. These were Mr.
Dolan. Mr.. Doyle, and Mr.. Leary Mr.
Leary is the city messenger, Mr.. Doyle is
the chairman of the board of aldermen.
and Mr. Dolan is president of the common
council
