A great glare of red flro , that could bo seen ( or miles , the blaze of hundreds of torches , the sparldo of myriads of electric lights and the cheers of thousands of people ple made up the first taste of Chicago's hospitality that was given Prlncu Henry on his arrival In this city last 1 evening. His train arrived at the de pot of the Chicago and Alton at 0:30 and from there , after ho hnd been for mally welcomed by Mayor Harrison and the members of the general recep tion committee , Prince Henry rode ithrough streets packed with a dense multitude , whoso cheers compelled the distinguished visitor to bow continually - tinually to right and loft. The prlnco .arrived In the city at a time when the streets were thronged to the utmost , it being the hour when many thousands of people were leaving their places of business for the day , and of all these people It scorned that nearly every i one walked over to Jackson boulo- "vard to await the arrival of the prlnco. For the entire distance the sidewalks -wero solidly massed with people so closely packed that It was with diffi culty that the line of policemen drawn up In front of the curb for the entire distance could restrain the people from crowding over Into the street and encroaching upon the line of car riages. The people wore willing enough to stand behind the officers , but the trouble was that there was ' not enough standing room for all. Chicago Glad to See Him. No more flattering welcome could have been extended any visitor , and It came not so much from the officials . of the city as from Its citizens. Every building along the line of his route from the depot to the Auditorium hotel was gaily decked with bunting , the prevailing scheme being the American and German flags Intertwined wltn the black eagle of Prussia over all. Many of the buildings had upon their fronts elaborate electric light devices. There were "welcomes" by the dozen , there were eagles and flags and strings of gay colored lights by the thousand. No hint of the decorations had been given the prlnco until his carriage had rolled over Jackson boulevard bridge , and was descending the slope leading to Michigan avenue. Then , In almost the same second , the lights were turned on , and what had "been a moment before a lane between dark lowering buildings was now all dazzling with light. Torch bearers , who were German veteran soldiers , lit the torches at almost the same in stant , and from end to end of the "boulevard , between the bridge ana Michigan avenue , two-thirds of a mile away , there was an Instantaneous blaze of red fire from both sides of the street. Prince Henry , In responding to the : address of welcome , thanked themay- or and citizens for the magnificent ovation and paid an eloquent tribute to Chicago. After the first banquet at the Audi- torlum the prince was driven to the tiurmory of the First Infantry , where the German citizens of Chicago had arranged a choral festival In bis 'honor. A roar of cheers greeted him as he left the hotel and from there until he passed within the doors of the ; armory there wils one continuous . . v shout. The sight that met the prlnco -as he stepped on the brightly deco- rated balcony w.is one to stir the "heart of any man , no matter how ac customed to multitudes and to the cheers of crowds he might be. The great hall was filled to Its utmost , and from end to end and from side to side there was a sea of faces and waiving handkerchclfs. Ball at Auditorium. The chief event of the stay of the prince In Chicago was the grand ball , "held last night In the Auditorium.

The hour set In the program for the arrival of Prince Henry nnd his suite upon the floor of the ball room was 10:30 : o'clock. The members of the commlt- iee had been In their places about 15 minutes when the notes of a bugle call were heard from the entrance to the ball room , a second later a glitter of gold lace and the flash of decora tions and then In a long line the prince and , the members of his suite , with . their escort , came slowly forward to ward the waiting line of brilliantly dressed women. The entrance of the prince Into the hall was marked with the etrlctost formality and the pre sentation to Mrs. Harrison , his official hostess , was made In a manner as < iulet as It was dignified. As soon as all the visitors had been presented to the ladles selected for tholr escort , the prince took Mrs. Har- rlBon to the head of the line and Im mediately began to promenade around the hall , stopping when ho reached the front of the royal box , which ho entered , escorting Mrs. Harrison to 'tho seat of honor besldo him , and watched the dancing of several hun dred couples with Interest. Untfl near ly midnight the prlnco remained In his b6x. exchanging pleasant words with all who came to meet him and produc ing a most pleasant Impression by Us . .pleasing and democratic manners.
