Shortly before eleven, His Royal Highness and party left the hotel in open carriages, accompanied by the Mayor, and enjoyed a pleasant drive on their way to the railway station. Among the objects of interest they passed were the two hundred feet Doric column of the Washington Monument, on Mount Vernon place, and the marble column of the Battle Monument, in memory of those who fell while defending the city in 1814.

A fragment of the great crowd that had gathered in front of the hotel, ran after the carriages for a considerable distance. Passers-by halted, and so lined the streets as the carriages were seen approaching, and the curiosity of the people was only equaled by their evident respect. On reaching the railway station, where several thousands had assembled to see the party step from their carriages—the general public being debarred admission inside—His Royal Highness was received by a guard of honor of the Independent Grays, the band of which struck up “God save the Queen,” with much spirit.

The Prince and noblemen and gentlemen of the suite, having taken a kind leave of the Mayor and members of the committee, to whom they expressed the pleasure their visit to Baltimore had afforded them, entered the royal car, which, preceded by one containing the attendants, moved away towards the Quaker City, in the midst of enthusiastic cheering from those on the platform. The numbers gathered at the wayside stations were few, compared with other places I could name, and even in Philadelphia itself the popular demonstration was slight; but this was all the more agreeable to His Royal Highness.
