PRINCE OF WALES.

ORDEIIED OFF RACECOURSE. A POLICKMAN'S ERROR. Entering Belmont park unheralded, ana avoiding the crowd, the Prince of Wales succeeded so well In achieving the status of n private person as to get a rough order from a park policeman to move on. Arriving nfter the first race, the Prince eroesed the tracks and took a portion near the last jump of the course. Policeman Timothy Urogun and another park policeman came running after him. "Hey, hey, you there," shouted Brogan, "Get out of that. Get back out of that. You can't go there." The Prince, taken aback, turned to Joseph E. Wldener, who was near him. "Aluet I get out?" he aekcil. "I think they'll let you stay here," ealfl Mr. Widener. Enlightenment coon came to Progan, and he bncked off, muttering apologies. 1 The Prince remained In his position abont one foot from the steeplechase track. Through his Deld glasses he watched with intense cicitement wbllb tho Corinthian Steeplechase started. After the race the Prince went back with Mr. Wldener and looked carefully over the three horses. Tho Prince again wore the same grey suit, giving another deKtructivc blow to th« myth of the Prince's endless wardrobe. iHe wore also the same grey hat turned up on one side and down on the other. There were signs to-day that be had set one fashion, lie has been wearing brown suede shoes. It was asserted there was not a male walking shoe of this urjflnlshed leather In the ■United States before the Prince set font hero, but to-day brown suedo shoes were I visible on many a foot. The rrinoc drove back from the race track to ten house of Clarence H. Mnckay, where he and his host played squash rncquets. The \Prlnec dined and danced nt the Mackny's home in Iloslyn, 1..0.. which was elaborately decorated. The Mackay home stands upon narhour nill, upon which revolutionary patriots once placed beacons to nIKn.U to'the Americans in their struggle with the soldiers of the third reigning member of tbo dynasty from which the present Trince of Wales sprung.
