Having visited his ranch in Alberta and disported himself over the face of Canada, Lord Renfrew (Prince of Wales) returned to the U. S. after an absence of only a few weeks.

¶ Ten thousand people of Duluth stood in drizzling rain for hours waiting the arrival of the young Baron, en route from Winnipeg to Chicago. As the trained steamed in, pipers played in his honor, many youngsters waved the Union Jack. Renfrew told Mayor Snively: “I am delighted with the reception I am receiving everywhere in the United States, and especially with this tremendous crowd that waited out in the rain.”

¶ In Chicago, the Baron was raucously acclaimed. Louis F. Swift, meat man, whose guest he was, introduced the British Heir Apparent to the capital of the Middle West. Chicago proceeded to show him the town, with emphasis on the Stock Yards and the Saddle and Cycle Club.

¶ Long after midnight the wheels of the train had taken the world’s most popular man away and were rolling him toward Detroit, where for one whole day he was the guest of Henry Ford.

¶ Renfrew was then scheduled to return to Canada, visit Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, return direct to Manhattan, sail on the Olympic, Oct. 25.
