The Russian Prince Alexis At New York Reception
The young Grand Duke Alexis wowed crowds in New York and Washington with a grand militia parade. Descriptions praise his regal features and athletic build, noting the blue uniform, sash of Saint Andreas, and high rank as lieutenant. The 9,000-strong militia reception turned chaotic as crowds surged toward the hotel and police struggled to restore order. The Duke later sent a cable to the Emperor of Russia praising the cordial, magnificent entry and general holiday in the city.
