James, Burden js to be placed at the Prince’s disposal during his two week’s stay. The /United States yacht Black Watch conveyed the Prince to the ’sliore. ' The b’av was'filled with plea-' isure craft, the occupants of which cheered the prince on his appearance. In a two-minutes’ interview, the Prince said he was glad to be in the United States again. Despite his expressed wish to be allowed to enter the country with no more ceremony than has been ' accorded any other distinguished foreigner, he has been accorded one of the most * pretentious welcomes ever given him anywhere. The Prince lunched to-day quietly with the President and family. No guns were tired because the British Embassy asked that they remain silent. One detail of the reception went awry. The radio speech of welcome that, had been planned, was never delivered, because the transmitting apparatus developed stage fright and refused to function when called upon to deliver the address to the Prince. Otherwise everything went oft smoothly. . .
