From Albany on the hill to Albany at the waterside, and thence across the Hudson to the Western Railway Station, the Prince and party proceeded on the next morning under an escort of cavalry and infantry. A fragment of the crowd which had gathered in front of the Congress Hall, accompanied them in an irregular troop, and the line of procession was margined with spectators, who cheered and waved their hats and handkerchiefs in a kind fárewell.

The Mayor and other authorities took leave of Victoria's son, and at a quarter to nine o'clock the royal train and the State car, which was beautifully embellished, moved away amid the acclamations of those assembled.

Thus ended another of those ovations which have lent lustre to the New World journey of Albert Edward, the beloved. AAvay sped the locomotive, through valley, over hill, past mirror-like water and woodland, towards Boston. The stay at Springfield, where the train arrived at twenty minutes past twelve, was limited to five minutes ; nevertheless, two colonels of the local army entered the royal car, and, presenting the letter of introduction from the Governor of Massachusetts to Lord Lyons, welcomed the Prince to the State, and afterwards accompanied him to Boston. The multitude at the station, including the Mayor, were enthusiastic in their cheers, and it was a matter to them of extreme regret, that His Royal Highness made so short a stay.

When Long-wood was reached, the train stopped at the Cottage Farm Station of the Boston and Worcester Railroad, three miles from the city. Here the royal party were joined by the Mayor of Boston and the City Government.
