New
York, Nov.
19th. —The
enthusi-
asm
with which New York wzlcomed
the
Prince of Wules showed
no signs of abate-
ment
today.
The
erowds
who
jammed
the
downtown
streets
when
the
Royal
visitor ~ stariea
on
his
sight-seeing,
through the’'iinancial distri~ts,
were even
denser
than
those
which greeted
him
on
his arrival vesterday
and
a bitter
north-
wind failed
to discharge
the hundreds
of
thousands
who
waited
vatiently
for
hours
to catch
a
glimpse of the
Prince.
Everywhere
he
went
huge
crowds
cheer-
ed him to the
echo,
giving him
a
recep-
tion as
even
New York has rarely if ever
witnessed
before.
New York, Nov. 19th.—The first event
of tt.e
day
was
a review
of
British
war
veterans
who
were
assembled
at
the
Uolomb&'a
Yacht
Club
when
the
Prince
landed © from
the
battle
cruiser
‘‘Re-
nown’’.
Companies
of
the
Tlst
Regi-
ment
of the New York
State
Guard
act-
ed
as
an
escort
of honour
to the
British
veterans,
who
were
dressed
in the
uni-
forms
of
some
of the
most famous regi-
ments
in the British army.
The Prince’s
next
visit
was
paid
to
the
Woolworth
Building,
where
from
a height
of 700
feet, he had
a bird’s-eye view of the city,
returning to earth the
Prince
was
escort-
ed
to Trinity Church,
where
his
grand-
father
worshipped
60
years
ago.
He
was
welcom2d
by
the
Rector,
the
Rev.
William T.
Manring,
and
the
members
of the Vestry.
The
Prince
occupied
the
same
pew in
which
his grandfather
had
sat
twon generations
before.
In a
brief
adiress
Rev. Manning
wecleom>d
him as
the
reprgsentative
of
the
"‘Great frez

of Britain,
