Chicago. March "A glare of red
nre that could be seen for miles, the
Dlaze OF hundreds of torches, the spar
kle OF myriads of electric lights and
the cheers of thousands of people made
up the first taste or Chicago's hospi-
tal1ty that was given Prince Henry
of Prussia upon his arrival in this city.
His train arrived at the depot of the
Chicago and Alton road at $50 D, M,
and from there, after he had been for
mally welcomed by Mayor Harrison
and the members of the general recep-
ton committee, Prince Henry rode
through streets packed with dense
multitude, whose cheers compelled the
distinguished visitor to bow continu-
ally to the right and left. The prince
arrived in the city at time when
the streets were thronged to the ut
most, 1t being the hour when many
thousands of people were leaving their
places of business for the day, and of
all these people it seemed that nearly
every one walked over to jackson
boulevard to await the arrival of the
prince. For the entire distance the
sidewalks were solidly massed with
people, so closely packed that it was
with the greatest difficulty that the
line of policemen drawn up in front
of the curb for the entire distance,
could restrain the people from crowd
Ing over into the street and encroach-
ing upon the line of carriages.
The prince was met at the depot by
Mayor Harrison and delegation of
the city council and escorted to the
Auditorium, where a banquet was CIV
en- in his honor.
Later in the evening a reception
was rendered Prince Henry by the Ger
man-Americans of the city at the ar
mory, fully 5000 being present and
four times that many people gathered
on the outside.
The chief event of the stay Of the
prince in Chicago was the grand ball
held in the Auditorium. It was per-
haps the most magnificent social
event ever witnessed in this city, sur
passing even the great ball given in
honor of Admiral Dewey two years ago.

enjoyed luncheon and reception at
the Germania club. The presentation

he had eaten breakfast. The prince
