tions to the Admiral on the splendid
appearance of his squadron.
As the Kron Prinz Wilhelm cleared
Tompkinsville the fleet of small craft
around her increased, and they kept
their whistles sounding. A crowded
ferry boat Joined the others, and in re-
sponse to the cheers of her passengers
the Prince went to the end of the
bridge and touched his cap in salute.
When the kron PrinZ came abreast of
Governors Island there was another
salute and the Prince again stood at
attention until the last of the twenty
one guns was fired.
Royal Weather for Prince.
New York and it's surroundings have
rarely shown to greater advantage
than to-day in the sunlight, with the
added brightness that came from the
glistening coating of snow, and the
royal visitor did not leave the bridge
during the run up the bay. He said
that he was at last gratifying an old
ambition in visiting New York and
asked that the points of interest be
shown him and the geographical bear
ing explained. He knew the Statue of
Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the Bat
terry, and had heard the fame of the
tall buildings. The latter lowered
high in the clear light and the Prince
viewed them with keen interest as
the liner swung into North river.
The first of the large crowds was
met at the Battery. The number of
river craft also increased and the well
come was a noisy one. The Prince
frequently went to the sides and either
saluted or waved his hand in acknowl-
edgment. To the Americans present
he expressed his appreciation of the
J=zI IL. IL.
last greeting in the run up the river
was from the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern, which is to be the home of
the Prince while in New York. The
Prince smiled at sight of her, and
again stepping to the end rail, saluted.
The jackies of the Hohenzollern gave
lusty cheer and the Prince smiled
and saluted again. The Kron Prinz
was abreast of the pier at noon.
There was no demonstration at
Recreation pier, for the Prince was not
seen by the great crowd that choked
up the end of West Thirty fourth
street. A cavalry squadron of the Ma
tional Guard of New York and a heavy
force of police kept the pier clear.
Prince Henry disembarked at 1885
p. M, walking down the decorated
gangways from the Kron Prinz Will
helm into the elaborately decorated
mental gangway and arch to the. gang
plank of the Hohenzollern, which had
been decorated in the German colorS
and was covered half it's length The
Prince1waS met at the bottom of the
gang plank by Admiral Won Baudissin,
commander of the Hohenzollern, and
his officers. Meanwhile, the band from
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm was playing
the German national air. Taking the
TYsn 70 1T
Henry walked up the gang plank fol-
lowed by the officers of the Hohenzol-
lern.
Aboard the HOhenzoIIern
The first of his callers to arrive af-
ter he had boarded the Hohenzollern
was Gen. Brooke, u. S. A, accompanied
by two aides. Admiral Barker and his
aide, Capt. West, representing the
United States Navy, followed, and then
came the German ambassador at
Washington and his brilliantly attired
suite of military and naval attaches.
Following the German amba ssador-
came the special representatives
of the President of the United
first assistant secretary of state,
and including Gen. Corbin, Col.
Bingham and Commander Cowles
Capt Nathan Sargent then called on
the Prince as the special representa-
tive of Admiral Dewey. The captain
said that he had been sent by the Ad-
miral especially to express to the
Prince the Admirals regret at not be-
ing able to greet him personally, and to
pay his respects.
The list of callers was ended with
the Mayors party, which included him
self and his private secretary.
About an hour was spent by the
Prince in receiving his callers and in
making an Admirals inspection of the
troops and crew of the Hohenzollern.
Then followed lunch.
