A New York View of the Prince of Wales While it is not quite safe to deduce from the innumerable photo-Brapns taken of the prince of Wales in the course of his journey around the world that he found the tour personally enjoyable as informative, many of the pictures that have been printed showed a young man doing things and sevimg triings that almost any young man would find pleasing. Lue chances are, therefore, that really good umes, in the course of tuis thoroughly modernized form of the ancient "progress," out-numbered, or at least more than balanced, what must have been the tedium of hearing over and over again about the same speech of official welcome and of making to it, necessarily, about the same response.
And perhaps the Prince, suggests the "New York Times' in a comment on the tour, was not wearied by the speeches—perhaps, as a well-trained heir apparent, with a virtuous appreciation of what he owes in return for his privileges, he accepted the task of listening and talking on these formal occasions as the performance of his allotted and accepted duty, which it certainly was, and found enjoyable the feeling he gained from having done his work in a workmanlike manner, That satisfaction apparently was well earned wherever the Prince went. So far as has been reported, his tactfulness was continuous, and if anywhere he was guilty even of small indiscretions the fact has been concealed with more success than reasonably could have been expected in a world where critics of the British Government and its representatives abound and are far from taciturn. In a few places, indeed, feeble squeaks of protest against honours paid to this youth have made themselves just audible to attentive ears, but the squeakers have not. been rewarded with the advertising in the shape of denunciation for which they yearned. Instead they were ignored, and must have undergone cruel suffering in consequence.
