a sudden note on the bugle. the cavalry sabres

CROWD WAITS IN THE RAIN
GOOD HUMoRr MAINTAINED IN SPITE OF
MANY DISCOMFORTS.

Drenched with driving rainstorn, crowded
and damned by policemen, their lives constant
Fly endangered by the electric that hurtled
Fby, several thousand people waited for hours to
isee Prince Henry enter the Metropolitan Opera
House last night. II a Enthusiastically
good humored American crowd Not all the dis
comforts of wind and weather served TO destroy
its buoyant good nature.
+ It chaffed the vendors of souvenir buttons Il
.r,oked fun at the water soaked policemen, and
all the time it kept up running fire of comment
on the one great feature of the evening, the
arrival of the Prince
81 say, amt there weather strong enough
TO keep the women homer" growled irate
watcher as the fifth umbrella fixed its point in
the back of his neck and sent a torrent OF water
down his collar.
Better stay at home and see' was the tart
reply, and the crowd sent up a, loud shout of
6erision.
The decorations the opera house slowly
gave way to the violence OF the storm. The
electric lights blew out their fuses, the flags
ripped and tore in the gale and the German
coat of arms melted into darkness. Long before
the hour when the Prince was expected the
whole scheme of decoration was damaged
fatally.
AS the hour grew later the police lines
.Etiffened- The cordons OF waterproof clad po-
ficemen charged the crowd and drove 1t back
against the curbs. Then the excitement be-
came intense. False alarms given every

Presently detail Of cavalry, escorting a
wagon laden with forage, appeared. This was
the signal for another wild cheer

II was close 10 10 o'clock when loud and

Prince. First a detail OF mounted policemen

crowd roughly back against the curb. Then
came detail of Troop c. their uniforms and

FIRE AT BRIDGE ENTRANCE
A MAYNARD CURRENT MELTs THE
TROLLEY RUNAwAYs.

Soon after two O'Clock this morning current
broke loose at the Manhattan end OF the Brook
lvn Bridge and began to eat away the iron gut
ter in which the trolley OF the surface cars run
The heavy iron melted under the fierce current
and great pieces OF the hot metal were thrown
over an area of a hundred feet.
The work of demolition began at the end OF
the loop next to the south roadway and worked
it's way toward the middle of the arc
At first only the gutter over the track on the
inside of the loop affected, but the damage
was spreading as the current. finding the path OF
least resistance worked it's way through the
iron.
The electric display was beautiful, or would
have been z u had not suggested danger 10 the
structure. An intense light emanated from the
flames Illuminating Park Row, extending to tie
City Hall and even to the upper stories OF the
tall buildings in Broadway opposite the City
Hall Park
Trolley cars were stopped. of course, and BE-
lated passengers for Brooklyn stood at a re-
spectfuI distance. watching the pyrotechnic-lke
display. Policemen and conductors stood help
less just out of range.
Word was sent as quickly possibly TO the
Brooklyn end. and the current was shut on
after the fire had burned less than half an
hour
Cross wires caused the damage. The trolley
service was stopped and passengers were. sent

PLANS CARRIED OUT easily
NOVELTY IN THE METHOD OF3LAUNCH
ING THE YACHT.
PRAISE EVERYWHERE FOR THE CONDUC
OF MISS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
AIDS A PHOTOGRAPHER.

Everywhere among the throngs that attended
the launching was heard praise for the admira-
bly, we'll calculated plans for the event and the
skill and success with which they were carried
out More than two thousand specially invited
guests formed part of the immense crowd that
saw the ceremony. These went to Shooters
Island by various routes. The Staten Island
ferryboat Robert Garrett left the Battery at
$50 o'clock promptly. but hundreds were de-
Iayed by the fog and were left behind. These
were taken to St George on one of the regular
boats and from there to Mariners Harbor,
whence a special tug took them across the XIII
to the snipyards, that all of them arrived In
time for the launching.
Elaborate precautions were taken to insure
the safety of the Prince and the President and
TO manage the crowds at the shipyards. Two
battalions of the Naval Reserve, under the COM
mand of Captain Miller. reached the island at
$50 o'clock and established their lines from
the pier to the launching shed The battery de-
tail caused some misunderstanding by prac-
Using their part of the ceremony long before the
President and the Prince arrived. Many per-
sons thought the party had arrived before It's
time but the mistake was soon cleared up
OF course the usual Secret Service agents
companied the Presidential party from Wash
ington and they never far from Mr.. Roose-
Welt and his royal guest Two hundred police
men from Manhattan also went 10 the lsld"u
under command of Inspector Brooks and five
captains. Fifty of them went on duty at mid
night and they declare that they nearly starved
to death by reason of the absence of restau-
rants from the island.
SOUVENIRS FOR THE WOMEN
All the women guests at the launching re-
Ceived a souvenir plate. decorated in green, with
a representation of the Meteor. fianked on either
side by the German and American eagles On
the border of the plate were the words:
