as guest of the nation. The land

sembled in his honor reechoed the
sentiment, there were verbal greet
ings from the representatives of

and great crowd lined the way into

The First Greeting.
Rear Admiral Robley ID. Evans,
commander of the special squadron
and honorary aid to the prince, left
the flagship Illinois at 9:40 o'clock
in the naval tug Nina. With him
were Capt. G. A. Converse, his chief
of staff; Flag Lieut.. Frederick
Chaplin, Ensign Frank T. Evans,
aid, and Capt. Won Rebeur-Paschwitz,
naval attache at the Washington en-
bassy of the German government.
They were all in full dress uniform.
AS the two vessels, with fiotilla
of tugs and official craft, moved in
past Fort Wadsworth the first of the
salutes of 81 guns was fired. AS the
first gun sounded the prince adj
vanced to the end of the bridge of
the Kronprinz Wilhelm and stood at
attention. AS he passed the big
American flag floating over the forth
fications he touched his cap in salute,
and the members of his suite did
likewise. The flag at the jackstaff of
the Kronprinz was dipped and the
German naval band accompanying
the prince played THE Star Spangled
Banner" The guns of Fort Wads-
worth were not silent before those
across the narrows at Fort Hamil-
ton doomed out their salute.
When the Kronprinz came abreast
of Governors Island there was an
other salute and the prince again
stood at attention until the last of the
81 guns was fired. 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 bearings explained.

The latter lowered high in the clear
light and the prince viewed them with
keen interest as the Kronprinz swung
into North river.
Crowds Line the River.
The first of the large crowds was
met at the Battery, and from there on
up to Recreation pier, where the larg-
est crowd of all had gathered, every
pier to which admission was not de-
MED was partly filed. The number
of river craft also increased and the
welcome was noisy one. The cross
ing ferryboats sounded their whistles
and the ever-increasing fleet of tug
boats kept up their noise. The big
liners in port were dressed, and the
German colors were displayed at sew
eral points along the harbor shores.
The prince frequently went to the
side, and either saluted or waved his
hand in acknowledgements. To the
Americans present he expressed his
appreciation of the warm welcome ex-
tended to him.
Boards the HohenxoTIcrn.
The last greeting in the run up the
river was from the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, which is to be the home
of the prince while in New York. She
wore full dress of flags and her
white paint with it's trimmings of gold
shone in the brilliant sun. Her jackies
wore new uniforms and straw hats
and manned the sides, while the Off
GERS in full dress uniform were drawn
up on the deck. The prince smiled at
light of her and again stepping to
the end of the rail saluted. The
jackies of the Hohenzollern gave
lusty cheer and the prince smiled and
saluted again. The Kronprinz was

Prince Henry left the Hohenzollern
shortly before II o'clock p. m. in a
closed carriage and was escorted by
troop of squadron A to the Twenty
third street ferry, where he was con-
yeyed on special boat to the Penn
sylvania railroad station in Jersey
City. All along the route he was
cheered by crowds lining the sidewalks
and at the ferry house it was all the
police and troopers could do to clear
an opening for his entry. He was ac-
companied by most of his staff. On
their arrival in Jersey City they were
conducted to special train of the
Pennsylvania railroad which had been
waiting for him. An immense con-
course of people witnessed his depar.
ture for Washington.
