In the afternoon, the royal group left Hamilton by train and reached Windsor for the short steamer ride to Detroit and the Prince's historic entry into the United States. He was greeted by the Governor of Michigan and Mayor Buhl of Detroit. Celebrations differed markedly from his previous visits in Canada since the Prince was officially traveling in the United States incognito, under the name "Lord Renfrew." He left Detroit the next day for Chicago. (By John Osborne)
