night, having well preserved his incognito.
Throughout yesterday there was no evil
dence of his presence at the Hotel Neither

the signature Count Lensahn, which he
had assumed. was clearly written on the
register. All inquirers, save few friends
whom the duke particularly desired to
greet, were met with the statement that
the count was not in.
The stay of the royal visitor in America
was brief, considering the fact that il was
his first. He arrived only last Thursday
on the Konigin Luise, paid flying trips to
Niagara Falls and Washington and came
back to New York. where he remained
until this morning. His friend, Baron
Won Petersburg. who was with him most
of the time. said that the duke was much
impressed with America, as far as he had
seen 1t, and was particularly awed by
the ajesty of Niagara Further than that
he added, there was nothing to be said.
