the West Point football team in the
presence of the flower of the United
States army he is of the opinion that
American football is not so interesting
a game as his own Rugby. He is
strong for West Point, and well he
may be, for the Naval alumni and the
claimants fnonthnIs vn him n hon nfi-
full day-one that will be remembered
along the Hudson.
The prince and his party went by

reviewed the American fleet. The Eng
lishmen took no notice of their adj
miral. The Maine of the American
feet, on the other hand. piped TO quar-
ters and the band played the national
airs as he passed. On all the other
American ships the crews stood ut at
tention, and there were quarters on the
Pennsylvania. The Morse passed so
close that her passengers conld read
the insignia of the officers on deck.
Prince Louis stood on the upper deck
by the pilot house and watched the
feet until the last American cruiser
was lost to sight in the mists of the
river.
The admiral said to the representa-.
tives of the newspapers:
II did not mean to be understood as
saying that any fleet could reduce your
city to atoms. That would be child's
talk. What | did mean and what ! re
peat is that no city would suffer more
from the effects of a war because 1t
would put a stop to its tremendous
commercial activity, which was II of
the first things that impressed me-"
The Indians from Carlisle scalped the
football team of West Point and won
their initial gridiron struggle with the
army eleven by 6 to 5, the home team
failing to kick a goal, which would
have tied the game, from a difficult
angle.
The scene of the struggle proved q
ecc for probably 5000 persons.
