mysterious silence preserved by the naval officers
in relation to the reply of the princes but it under

other Invitation proffered them.
At O'Clock p III. carriages were driven mp to re-
ceiye the princes and officers, who departed from their
usual practice in accepting the invitation OF the Archi-
tectinChef Of the Central Park to ride through the
grounds before proceeding to Mrs. Benefits f1e
cL0mplre. No publicity had been given TO
the affair, and there were only people enough
present TO make the visit interesting. The Jap

event will be delayed beyond the Fourth Of July
