storm, and, with ali their finery. went through
the programme that had been arranged in their
honor. The train carrying Prince Henry made
a slow from Washington. During the trip

been especially assigned. went to the car Vie
tora and called the Prince. Later the party

carriages and driven through the grounds. They
visited the cadets quarters and the mechanical
laboratory. and also looked the build
