Prince Louis of Hattenberg passed today In a fashion that . would have tested the stamina of a po'ltl! j candidate engaged in a campaign of the whirlwind order, and stood the strain with a fortitude worthy of a British admiral. He began the round of entertainments with a reception at the Chamber of Commerce, where he was greeted by a representative gathering of captains of commerce and finance. After a brief breathing spell he was whirled down to Coney Island, where he and the officers of his fleet, with Admiral Evans and other representatives of the American navy, attended a great banquet given by the bluejackets of the American warships to their Britannic cousins. From the banquet a special train bore the prince and his suite back to New York In time to appear at the horse show, where his en trance wss the signal for a tumultuous welcome from a great assemblage, repre sentative of fashion and wealth, not only of the metropolis, but of all the principal cities of the union.

Another Inspiring scene occurred when, after eating a hearty din ner, exactly the same as that to which the sailors sat down, the two admirals walked down the center of the pavilion amid solid ranks of the cheering blue Jackets. This ovation which Admiral Prlnre Louis and Admiral Evans received at parting touched them deeply. The prince had an engagement at the horse show and was compelled to leave the ban- i quet early. Aa he did ao he stopped to the committees on arrangement and re ception, had supreme charge of the prepa rationa for the dinner. The prince then shook hands with each of the "side boys" who were lined at the entrance to pipe the two admirals "over the side." "Tou have given me and my men a splendid evening," the prince said aa he passed between them, "and I thank you for myself and for them. Blood Is thicker than water and we are glad to be ashore." By 10 o'clock the fifteen rounds of beer which each sailor received had been dis posed of and the men started out to do Coney Island. Many of the amusement places opened up In honor of the visitors. At midnight the shooting galleries, the beer gardens and other attractions were doing a midsummer business and the 2.500 sailors were having the time of their Uvea. The boats will come alongside Steeple chase pier at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning to take the 'banqueters to their respective ships.
