But from the plans already made it is clear that Now York intends to give the Allies’ envoys a reception such as the city has not seen since Admiral Dewey came home. A great deal of attention is being paid to the dinner to be given in honor of the two commissions at the Wal- dorft-Astoria on Friday night. The dinner will be marked by great simplicity, being limited to five courses, and will consist of distinc- tively American dishes, ‘The arrangements contemplate lim- iting the number of guests to 1,000, although there have been applic: tions for reservations from promi- nent men throughout the country. Tho invitations, it was said to-day of the Dinner Committes, have al- ready been sent out. The limit set has necessitated refusing the re- quests of # number of Washington omMcials, Although no invitations have been issued to women, box seats along the side of the banquet hall and in the wives and friends of the guests. There will be only four speeches upon the programme, one by the Mayor, one by Joseph H.
