( The Sew York Tribune gives the
following sketch of the group:
/ PERSONAL.
The personal appearance of the
principal members Of the President
ial party is generally familiar. When
they arrived in sew York yesterday
evening, all looked dusty, and, to a
certain extent, travel worn. The

Admiral Farragut Is tall, slender,

is something Lear-like in his face,

courage that made him
