The few hours of rest that the
Prince of Wales was able to snatch
aboard the battle-cruiser Renown
night before last proved to be only
a brief interval of quiet between
TWO days of uproar. The city that
gave hm so tu1nultuous q greeting
on Tuesday gave him d no less
thunderous reception again yester-
day, when New York's new citizen
vent sightseeing about his tempo
rary homo.
From 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when the prince came ashore
at the Columbia Yacht Club to re-
yiew British war veterans gathered
there, until late last night, when he
eft the ball given in his honor by
Mrs. Whtelaw Reid to return to
he Rencwn, the heir to the British
crown had scarcely 4 moment Of
quiet.
All day long he swept through
me streets, from celebration to eel
abration. The clatter of the motor
cycle outriders Of the Police De-
oartment that surrounded his car
and the roar of the long string CT
automobiles that followed his like
comets tail were in his ears al
most continually. When these
ceased, came the louder sound of
voices hailing him.
Kneels in Prayer in Trinity
Not only present-day New York
out the city of sixty years ago as
yell welcomed the prince. Twice
n his swift flight through the town
he paused to look on scenes almost
IDENTICAL with those witnessed by
his grandfather when he visited the
.:ity.
Tor few minutes yesterday
morning the prince paused to pray
n the dusk Of Trinity Church,
lneeling in the same pew where the
late Edward VII once worshiped.
IN the afternoon he visited the
ACADEMY of Music. The old the
ater lao peen restored to the splen-
dor it had displayed three genera
vions ago when the then Prince of
Wales attended ball there. Even
the chair in which Albert Edward
sat was there, and a few withered
ausky-voiced men and women
ghosts of the party that assembled
on that gala night long ago.
The prince passed the rest of the
ray amid the roar of the business
istrict-a roar that was multiplied
: hundred times by voices calling
>ls name-and in the glitter Of So
let =. tnc horse show, dinner at
r. .,aldorf, where ne was guest
= -. British societies of the city,
and the ball thereafter at the home
of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid.
Bareheaded in Cold
II the British heir does not take
away from New York an involuntary
souvenir in the form OF severe cold
u WILL not be the fault Of the weather
Or of the crowd that kept him bare
headed most of the day while q keen
wind butfeted him. The day began
clear and chill, and as clouds began
10 drag across the sky the cold seemed
20 increase.
At $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning
Aoo members of the British Great War
Veterans of America, each in the uni
i9fm OF his service, drew up on the
piot OF reclaimed land south Of the
Columbia Yacht Club. They were
headed by a band of pipers, and a
battalion OF the list Regiment acted

Nned with people who chcered as the
