 Chicago, March 5.-'rhe Chicago which the prince of Prussia saw Mon day night by the glare of many lights | was presented to him by the clearer | light of the sun. The welcome which | he received Monday night was repeat | ed and emphasized, and he was given further opportunity to enjoy his ex- pressed desire of meeting American | citizens at close range. During the | day he listened to an address from | the Central Bund of St. Paul, placed wreath on the Lincoln monument, in Lincoln park, and enjoyed l lunch con and reception at the Germania | club.
 The principal address by Gov. Van 1 Sant of Minnesota was the first de- tail of the official programme. The | prince received the governor and a committee accompanying him in his | private parlor after he had eaten | breakfast.
 l By II o'clock all those who were to accompany the prince during the day assembled at the Auditorium. With out delay the party entered the car riages waiting to convey it to Lincoln park and the Germania club.
 In nearly every door and window along the streets where the prince passed curious faces were to be seen. 1 Handierchiefs were waved at him from the windows. and the crowds along the streets shouted a greeting The prince was kept busy touching his cap in response. Rear-Admiral Evans, enthusiastically addressed as Bob" was also the recipient of con siderable attention.
 A dense crowd numbering thous- sands was crushed about the somber statue of the great emancipator when the prince and his entourage came upon the scene. Cries of "Hoch der Kaiser" and ''Hurrah for Heinrich, . were numerous, making a thunderous volume of welcoming sound. The rep resentative of the German emperor, grave. but of pleasant mien withal, bowed repeatedly from his carriage, | Tightly-stretched ropes surrounded the statue to keep the crowd back, while a circle of policemen in stren- uous manner discouraged the at tempts of the venturesome who en- croached upon ground reserved for his highness. The prince was all gravity as he entered the plot of cleanly-swept ground surrounding the monument, and laid at the feet of the image of the martyred presi- dent the laurel token of respect. The whole ceremony lasted but a few mo- ments. The prince and his official party quickly re-entered their car riages and started at brisk trot for the Germania club
 The prince. arm-in-arm with Dr. 1 Weaver. the German consul in Chica- go. was met at the threshold of the l club house by Gustav F. Fischer, pres ident of the club, who also took his arm. The board stairway leading to the reception and banquet halls was | lined with little girls dressed in white. Some of them shyly spoke to to them. apparently enjoying the in nocent spectacle. The luncheon was confined to the prince and the inn mediate party accompanying him from Europe and assigned to him at | Washington. The imperial German consul, Dr. Weaver, the two vice con suls. Doctors Haerring and /oepfel; Mayor Harrison, Gov. Yates, Robert T. Lincoln, the executive committee, the committee of five representing the United German societies, and about 50 members of the club
 When the luncheon was finished | President Fischer escorted the prince to the eIaborately-decorated ball room where the prince received those who had taken luncheon with him. President Fischer stood at his right, while members of his staff and com mittee of the club was ranged behind him. It was during this reception that one of the most pleasing incl dents of the day took place. Presi- dent Fischer on behalf of the ladies of the club, presented the prince with a magnificent vase to be given to his wife. the Princess Irene. The prince thanked the women in behalf of the princess, declaring that no incident of his visit had pleased him more, and that he was sure the princess, ,hiswife' would cherish if always among her treasures. The vase was of gold and cut glass, and was two feet high.
