several blocks in the neighborhood Of
Ambassador Reid's house.
The Duke carried a cane, while Cap
tain Rivers-Bulkeley had an umbrella
with him-which may be a London habit
when they left the house and walked
up Madison avenue. The Duke and his
companion were subjected to the scat
tered fire OF camera batteries until Cap
tain Buckley suggested 10 the Governor
General that it would be better 10 eapitu-
late, and the Duke good, ,naturedly aoqui-
esced. They stopped while the photogra-
pliers got their fill of pictures Then
they walked through to Fifth avenue
and covered several blocks south on that
thoroughfare before returning to the
Reid house.

and the special policemen in the Metro

ing a path through the crowd for the
members Of the party TO return TO their
automobiles. Some persons in the crowd
pressed closely about the Duchess and
Princess Patricia. The crowd was par
ticularly good natured. however, and the
Duchess and h,- daughter laughed
heartily at the exuberance Of the greet
ing. Princess Patricia has already be-
come a great favorite with the people.

recognizes her. and her grace and charm
are continually remarked upon.
