of Prussia finished his American tOul
in Philadelphia and for the brief space
of five hours was the guest Of that mu
hicipality. His reception was most cor
dial and his welcome heartfelt. From
the moment when the special trair
bearing the imperial visitor steamed
into the Pennsylvania railroad station
the popular demonstration was hearty
and spontaneous.
The programme covering the flying
visit Of Prince Henry was carried out
as planned in a manner BETTING the
dignity Of the royal visitor.
Prince Henry arrived in Philadelphia
at 1920 o'clock, the special train hav-
ing made the run from this city in eX-
actly two hours. Broad street station
contained probably the largest crowd in
its history, and the first appearance of
the prince as he alighted from the pri-
vate car Columbia was the signal for
an ovation which was continuous as
long as the distinguished guest re-
manned in sight of the multitudes gath
cred to extend popular welcome.
Welcomed by Ashbridse.
The prince was met at the railroad
station by the citizens reception COM
mittee, headed by Mayor Samuel II.
Ashbridge. After shaking hands with
the mayor the prince was introduced to
the other members of the committee.
Then, with Mayor Ashbridge on his
left and Chief Wilkie of the secret
service attending him on the right, he
walked through the roped off passage
in waiting, Admiral Evans, the princes
suit and the reception committee fol-
lowing.
The First and Second troops, Phila-
delphia city cavalry, in command of
Captain John G. Groome, acted as OFF,
cial escort, and two battalions Of
mounted policemen headed and brought
up the rear Of the procession.
The city hall is located directly oppo-
site Broad street station, and the build
ing was circled in order to give the
prince better opportunity Of viewing
the architectural beauties of the huge
structure.
Five minutes after his arrival Prince
Henry stood in the mayors reception
room, which had been simply and taste
American and German colOrs. Mayor
Ashbridge extended the freedom of the
city to the royal visitor and presented
to the prince a handsome album con-
tanning his address of welcome beauti-
fully engrossed.
Prince Henry's Response.
Prince Henry made brief response.
He said;
This is but another of the many
acts of kindness that have been extend
ed to me in this country. l assure you
that 1 deeply appreciate it. 1 thank
you for the freedom Of the city which
you have given me and for this hand
some souvenir, which shall preserve.
Again thank you"
He then shook hands with the mayor.
From the city hall the prince was es-
corted to Independence hall. Owing to
lack of time the stop at the "Cradle of
Liberty" was very short. The prince
alighted from his carriage and, accom-
panied by the mayor and Admiral
Evans, hurriedly passed through the
historic old building. The party then
proceeded to Cramps shipyard.
At 1880 p. m. the prince attended
luncheon at the Union league club
house and late in the afternoon started
back to this city.
On arriving here he boarded the
American line steamship
preparatory to his de-
parture from America. At 8 p. m. he
left the Deutschland to attend gala
performance at the Irving Place thea
