Prince Albert left Chicago by special train for a much needed few days of rest and relaxation in the countryside around Dwight Station in Livingston County, Illinois.  Staying on the farm of Charles Spencer, one of the town's founders, the prince indulged in several days of bird shooting.  He also worshiped at the town's Presbyterian church.  The party then left for the next stop on the tour in St. Louis, Missouri.

Aboard a special train that the Michigan Central Railroad had provided, the Prince and his party left Detroit and arrived in Chicago around 7:30 that evening.  Though the Prince was officially traveling in the United States incognito, under the name "Lord Renfrew," he was met with a large crowd at the station, including Mayor Wentworth.  He toured the city and left the next day for an extended hunting trip in the countryside around Dwight Station in Livingston County, Illinois.  (By John Osborne)

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)

The final stop in Canada for the Prince of Wales and his party before crossing over into the United States was Hamilton, Ontario.  There he inaugurated a waterworks and toured the agricultural exhibition at the new Crystal Palace building in the town.  Rain still dogged Prince Albert's footsteps.  On the afternoon of September 20, 1860, the royal group left Hamilton by train and ferry for the Prince's historic entry into the United States at Detroit   (By John Osborne)
