Royal Guest Is Anxious to
Doff His Uniform and
Stroll Along Broadway
Like Any Other Visitor
Arrival Scheduled
At 10 O'Clock To-day
Visit of Grandfather in
1860 To Be Made Fea-

Such thrills as war and prohibition
have spared to New York have been
prepared for the coming Of the most
enthusiastic tourist who has 'done''
the city in generations.
For the youthful Prince Of Wales
keenly interested, hopes to stroll up
Broadway this morning and see all the
sights that any other twenty-five-year-
old visitor might expect to see. 1t is
barely possible his stroll will be a
short one and that he won't be per-
mitted to take it for day or two
since the reception committee has ar
ranged crowded program for him
but he is certain that ne will tako it
some time.
81 want to see everything that New
York has to show visitor, and I un-
stand that is lot" was the word
that came from the prince yesterday.
Busy Program Provided
The answer of the Mayors Commit
tee of Welcome was list Of events
that will keep the royal visitor busy
from the moment Of his arrival until
he retires late at night But it Is
probable that the ingenuity of the
prince may peymit the sandwiching in
of some unscheduled events in spite
OF this. He is said to have done it
before and probably will do it again.
The boon of travelling incognito,
which the prince enjoyed during his
few days stay at White Sulphur
Springs. w. Va, will be lost with the
arrival of his special train at Jersey
City at 10 o'clock this morning. At
that time he will be welcomed by rep
rcsentatives Of the city as the future
King Of England, and as such he will
respond.
But it was said last night he prob
ably would be attired in "civics" and
would carry his tavoritc walking stick
whether he was permitted to walk
about the city on his own account OF
not. And as for the ride on the sub
way that has been promised him-the
prince expects to go forth for that pur-
pose unescorted by guards or guide.

last night and prepared for its trir

will land the prince and members Of
the Mayors welcoming committee
at III o'clock this morning. Grover
Whalen, Commissioner of Plant and
Structures, and Rodman Wanamaker
chairman Of the Mayors committee OF
welcome, will represent the city a. the
informal reception in the Pcnns ylvania
station in Jersey City.
Grandfather's Visit Recalled
On arriving at the lower end Of Man
haitian the reception will take on much
the same appearance, except for the
physical aspects, as that rendered the
princes grandfather, King Edward VII
who visited the United States as the
Prince of Wales in 1850. The ther
prince travelled incognito, however
and was officially called Baron Rem
frew,' although this was pleasant
fiction that deceived nobody.
Lines Of automobiles will frame the
pathway of the Prince, where similar
lines Of prancing horses awaited the
landing Of the former royal visitor
The flags Of the United States anc
England will fly from every building

On leaving City Hall the royal party

But it is probable the young prince
will find greatest interest in the re
minders Of the earlier visit Of his
grandfather, whose footsteps he will
follow throughout the fvc-day stay
here. He will even be given the op
portunity to occupy the same chair
