New York, Oct. 3.-The king and queen of the Belgians with Prince Leopold, heir apparent to the throne cast aside today the royal "incognito" which had shrouded them since their welcome at noon yesterday to the United States by Vice. President Mar shall and boarded the yacht Noma in the Hudson river to make their formal entry into New York
 The program called for the arrival of the party at city hall at 1915 o'clock, for a formal welcome to the state and city of New York by Gov ernor Smith and Mayor Hylan and the conferring on the king of honor ary citizenship of the city. -@-.asa
 Cheers Greet Albert.
 In the city hall plaza the crowd was so dense that the large force of police and soldiers had difficulty in keeping the roadway clear for the loyal procession. AS the kings auto mobile swept up to the city hall steps a mighty volume of cheering arose pierced by the shrill scream of scores of sirens and the hooting of thousands of automobile horns
 At the entrance to the city hall the king was greeted by Governor Smith and Mayor Hylan. In his address of welcome the mayor expressed his conviction that a new and greater Belgium would arise out of the wreck age of the great war. In reply the king said:
 King Voices Thanks.
 MT. Mayor, I thank you heartily for your words of welcome. ap- preciate highly the honor that the City of New York does me in making me one of it's citizens. I prize all the more highly this municipality be- cause in Belgium municipal institu- tions have always played in the past and continue to fill today a marked role in the public life of the country
 "I think that there is not in the history of the world another example like that of the city of New York which, born not three centuries ago, has become in this short space of time one of the centers of universal activity.
 New York is indeed worthy to be the commercial and financial metrop- oils of that admirable American de- mooracy which showed itself to be as great in war as in peace, and always generous towards those who suffered,

The king abandoned his plans on receipt of 8 telegram from Rear Admiral Grayson, the presidents physician, that the presidents condition rem dered it necessary to prohibit his re- ceiving any visitors.

este is an annual affair and is known

torlcal Contest. Four senior boys
were the contestants for the prize

ert A. Lamberton, and Winston

tions during the course of the con-
test, and j. Frederik Virgin, scout

gin. as judges of the oratory of the
contest. j. F. Kob, Harvey S. knupp

the past three weeks. and much
credit is due her for the success of
the contest.
