LONDON, June 3-General Grant was
entertain ed last night by grand ban
quet at the ApsIey H ouse, given in his
honor by the Duke of Wellington. 1t
was splendid and hearty reception.
The guests were Mrs. and General
Grant, Count and Countess Gleichen,
Lord and Lady Abercrombie, Lord and
Lady Churchhill, Marquises Tweeddale,
Sligo and Ailsbury, Earl Boden, Viz
count Torrington, Lords George, Pagit,
Cathope, Houghton, Strathnair, the
Marchiones of Hereford Countess
of Hard wick, Count and Countess of
Bradford, Lady Wellesley, Lady Emily
Peel and Lady Skelmesdsle, Miss Welles-
by and number of others well known to
the London world of high social life.
The banquet was served up IN the famous
Waterloo chamber where the old Iron
Duke loved to meet the war Generals of
1915 on the 18th of June of every year,
and celebrate the anniversary of the
great battle which forever closed the for.
tunes of Napoleon Bonsparte. General
Grant was given the precedence in the
honors of the evening, escorting the
Duchess of Wellington to supper and
afterwards escorting her to the reception
at which were present the Duke and
Duchess of Cleveland, Duke and Duchess
of Sutherland, Duke and Duchess of
Manchester and many of those already
mentioned above. The Prince of Wales
gave private audience to the ex-Presi-
dult to-day at Marlborough House, in
Producing him to his household in the
most friendly manner, and sat with him
quite long time in ordinary pleasant
conversation. The Queen has given or
ders to the Lord amberlain TO waive
the usual presentation ceremonies out OF
regard to the nations guest, and extend
to General and Mrs. Grant invitations
to all court entertainments. This is
almost unprecedented, and shows the
great esteem in which he is held in Eng
