It’s and The members of the suite grouped them- selves about and General Sickles and Carl Schurz were specially presented to the Prince. The Board of Aldermen having been officially notified of the arrival of the Prince, President Cantor of the borough of Manhattan and the Vice President went to the Governor's room and were presented to Prince Henry. The entire party then started for the chamber, where President Cantor for- mally introduced the Prince to the Board of Aldermen and President Fornes. When they had taken their places President Fornes sald: “Your Royal Highness, Prince Henry, it is my special honor to request his Honor, the Mayor of New York, to tender you the resolution passed by this body, grant- ing you the freedom of the city.” Thereupon the Mayor formally present- ed the resolution and added: “The freedom of the city, which is now to be conferred upon you, has not very often been granted in all our history. If it be now, in fact, but a form of words, it is a form that signifies high regard and genuine friendship for him upon whom it is bestowed.” T'rince Henry replied: “Mr, Mayor: I am most grateful for the kind reception I find here ta this house, as well as for the kind wards you express on this occasion. I am fully aware of the f{act that it is an exception that a member of my family should have been offered the freedom of, the city of New York. I may add that I am proud of it. 1 am deeply touched by the re- ception which I found on the day of my arrival, as well as to-day, when I drove to the City Hall. All of you know per- fectly well that I am not here on my own his Majesty, the Bmperor of Germany, my beloved sovereign and brother. “I am sorry that I.cannot pay you for all the enjoyment I have found, but I think I am quite safe in saying that I may offer you the friendship of his Maj- esty, the Emperor of Germany, and I agree with you, Mr. Mayor, that I have not come here to create a friendship, but to carry on the old friendship which has existed between our two nations, and which T hope may remain the same in the future.” After the Prince had made his reply, he was applauded for some minutes, and the official ceremony came to an end. The royal party went to their carriages and were escorted to the Hohenzollern. The Hohenzollern was reached at 5:30 o'clock. Along the route from the City Hall to the yacht the Prince was given a continuous ovation.and the American and German colors were everywhere. At 6:17 the Prince, his suite and Admiral Evans drove to the Metropolitan Club, where they were the guests at the dinner of the Mayor with the Presidential dele- gates and a number of citizens. There were no formal speeches. Prince Henry was present to-night at a gala performance given in his honor at’ the Metropolitan Opera-house. The Prince did not arrive at the opera until 9:30 and the first act of “Lohengrin,” with which the programme was opened, was nearly finished when he reached his box. The royal visitor was cheered enthusi- astically by the large audience present, and he bowed his acknowledgments re- peatedly. During the performance of the opera to- night fire was discovered in the wig room of the Metropolitan Opera-house. It was Quickly extinguished and little damage was done. The audlence knew nothing of the blaze. LARGE DIMENSIONS OF THE NEW METEOR Ample Accommodations and a Deck Room Equal té§ Many of the Large Steam Yachts. An admirer of American craft for nany years, the German Emperor decid- ed to have a swift yacht built in this country. Accordingly last spring Em- peror Willlam commissioned Captain von Reuber-Paschwitz, his naval attache in ‘Washington, to negotiate for the con- struction of a yacht wholly American in design and construction. The attache rlaced the order in’ the hands of the naval architects, Cary Smith and Bar- Ley, by whom the plans were drawn. The order for the construction of the yacht was placed with the Téwnsend & Downey . Shipbuilding Company, whose yards are on Shooters’ Island, nine.miles from the Battery, in New York. The keel was laid on October 16 under the super- vision of Chief Constructor Theodore E. Ferris. At the Kiel regatta this summer the Meteor will be pointed out as the largest schooner yacht afloat. Her dimensions are; Length, 161 feet; depth, 20 feet; beam, 27 feet. She thus has deckroom egual’to many of the large steam yachts, her_beam being only six feet less than J. P. Morgan's Corsair and four feet less than Sir Thomas Lipton's Erin. The -ab- sence of engines, boilers and machinery adds to her roominess and comfort, and her designer, Cary Smith, made a very apt statement whén he said: “It will be possible, with the awnings set and the curtains at the side, to hold a stately court ball on her deck.” Her masts and spars are of Oregon pine, the mainmast | rising 89 feet 3 inches above her deck, @nd the foremast is 85 feet 3 inches. The main gaff and the foreboom and gaff are @ riviminieleleieielelefiinieideleiel @ To Cure Grip in Two Days. Laxative Bromo-Quinine removes the cause. E. W.

In addition to her life- boats the Meteor carries a 26-foot naph- tha launch. She is painted white, her capstan is of ‘bronze, and her deckhouse and rails of teakwood.

BANQUETER ATTACKS POPULAR DEMONSTRATION Vice President of the Georgia Society Creates Confusion by an Un- timely Speech. NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—Amid a scene of confusion the banquet of the Georgia So clety was concluded at the Marlborough Hotel. James B. Gray, second vice presi- dent of the society, was the last speaker. He launched into an attack on the popu- lar demonstration accorded Prince Henry. The diners were thrown into confusion and at the eonclusion of his remarks most of them hurriedly left the room. “1 don’t approve of this reception and this great ovation of the American people to a German paper admiral, who has him. self denied scant credit to a real ad- miral, an American,” Gray_sald. “It is the height of flunkyism. Neither do I approve of the sending of flunkies by the United States the coronation of a British monarch.” P e Maligns the Prince. NEW YORK. Feb. 2.—Henry Kress of Unfon Hill, N. J., was beaten with a siphon and is now in a hospital with a fractured skull because he maligned (he Hohenzollerns and Prince Henry in par-. ticular in_the presence of a German bar-’ tender.
