Henry of Prussia went up Lookout
mountain Sunday and after viewing
the ground where the union and con-
federate armies met in conflict and
hearing afresh the story of the bat
ties resumed his journey to the north
and west. Leaving Chattanooga over
the Nashville, Chattanooga q st.
Louis railroad, his train ran through
a corner of Alabama, and then turn
ing to the north hurried across to
Tennessee, with a short stop at Nash
vile, through Kentucky, with brief
STAYS at Louisville and Bowling
Green, and up into Indiana to an
other brief halt at indianapolis. At

to the westward again over the tracks
OF the Vandalia line for st. Louis.
Pleased with Negro Melodies.
His reception at the south was hos
pitable and demonstratiye. The ne
proes manifested great curiosity as
to the prince and they interested and
amused him. He got an opportunity
to hear them sing at Nashville and
was greatly pleased at the expert
ence. 1t was the Glee club of Fiske
university that sang and at the close
he asked the young woman who LED
them to come into his car. He shook
her hand and congratulated her.
On Historic Ground.
1t was eight o'clock when the spe-
cial pulled into the depot at Chatta-
noopa and the local reception COM
mittee. headed by Newell Sanders and
accompanied by Pension Commission
err II. Clay Evans and Gen. IL. ".
Boynton, came forward to formally
greet the prince. There was great
throng in and about the depot and 1t
broke into hearty cheers when the
prince appeared at the rear OF the
car Columbia. He wore the uniform
of an admiral and saluted when he
faced the crowd. He and his party
were taken by special electric train
to the inclined railway that climbs
the rugged face of Lookout noun
tain. They made the ascent in two
cars, the prince escorted by Gen.
Boynton and Commissioner Evans
riding on the rear platform of the
first. The morning was fairly clear
when the car began the ascent, and
the splendid panoramic view quickly
came into vision. As the prince
reached the crest of the mountain
the sun broke through the grayish
clouds and for a short time the view
was excellent. Missionary ridge, Or
chard knob and Raccoon mountain
were outlined clear and bold, and be-
low the Tennessee river could be
traced in its meanderings for miles.
Hears story of the Battle.
Gen. Boynton, who participated in
the Chattanooga operations with
Shermans army, and is chairman of
the Chickamauga National Park asso-
citation. accompanied the prince down
along the ridge Of the mountain and
briefly related the story of the cam
paign. He pointed off to the Cumber-
land mountains, beyond which Rose
Grams began the movement, traced
out the feint to deceive Bragg, brought
il up to the command of Grant, and
then graphically told the story Of
Chickamauga and the assaults on
Missionary ridge and Lookout noun
tain. Prince Henry followed the re-
cital with the keenest interest and
with map before him studied out the
strategy and progress of the fight. He
asked numerous questions, and by his
direction his aid, Lieut.. Commander
Won Egidy, noted down figures as to
the number of men engaged, the losses
on either side and other information
as to the battles and campaign. AS he
stood at Rock Point and looked
across the valley Of the Tennessee he
exclaimed: "This is magnificent
There is nothing in all Europe that is
finer. / have never seen such bat
tlefield."
Views Mountain Scenery.
The route through the Cumberland
mountains offered some stretches OF
pretty scenery. The streams were
high and rapid and filed the gorge,
below the train. The prince had a day
of sightseeing, and when not other
wise engaged kept up an animated
line of questioning and comment will
