the twelve big cities of America in
which the Primate of England would
appear.
A Warm Welcome
When the train arrived in
the early afternoon every prepara-
ton possible had been made for IA
dignified and enthusiastic welcome.
Stationmaster n. Frank Motter with
forces of city and state police kept
the wide plaza in front of the station
cleared for the company which came
down in two automobiles to entend
first greetings. Governor Brum-
brugh and Thomas Lynch Montbom-
cry occupied one of the closed cars.
The other contained Bishop Darling
ton, the Rev. Floyd Appleton, of st.
Paufs; Archdeason William Dor
wart, Newport; the Rev. r. A. Saw
yer, st. Stephens, and the Rev.
Henry A. Post, st. Andrews.
Il AS the Archbishop and his party
emerged from the station the city
SSiOSu Will CHIMES from ulletenL
churches. Zion Lutheran rang out
clear and loud, first, the British na-
tional anthem and the keen earnest
countenance of the Primate was seen
wreathed in delighted smiles. In
his company were his chaplain, the
Rev. DR.. lremonger, of York, Eng
land; the Rev. DR.. Charles Hutchin-
son, chaplain of Bishop Rhinelander,
and several other prelates.
Swinging up through Market
street which was plentifully dotted
with the Stars and Stripes and the
/ Union Jack, to Front street, which
was even more freely decorated. the
party reached Bishop Darlington's S
mouse where an escort was drawn up
consisting of aviation officers from
the Middletown station, commanded
by Major Garrison. They acted as
guard of honor for the afternoon.
The home of Bishop Darlington
had been prepared for the recep-
ton with beautiful flag displays and
decorations of red and white flow
ers.
! Flags of Two Nations
About 100 guests had been invited
by Bishop Darlington to meet the
English dignitary and a brief recep-
ton with prayer following in the
chapel took place before starting for
the Capitol. Just as the party was
about to start, big delegations came
up Front street from Lancaster and
YORK, lavishly decked out with the
white of York and the red of Ian
caster, vividly recalling the ancient
days and traditions of the Wars of
the Roses.
Massive British flags, mingled with
the Stars and Stripes, floated from
st. stephens, where the bells on the
tower also rang out the two ma
uonal anthems as the procession
started for the Capitol. State street
had responded with gay bunting and
the approach to the Hill was in the
manner of a triumphal march.
1t had been intended to have the
speaking in the rotunda of the Capi-
tol, but at the last moment Governor
Brumbaugh decided that it would by
no means accommodate the huge
crowd which had gathered so the
