MoNIco's-A GAME WITH NO ERRORS
When Admiral John Anson returned from hjs
trip around the world in search Of elusive islands
continents and things, he received the thanks of
the King and the freedom of the City Of London
in little gold snuff-hox. latter-day Anson, a.
former Minister to ST. James's would say, >haa
seen him and gone him one better -. Baby
Anson, the pride of the great Cbicagos, the cham
pion Of the famous double team which has just
accomplished the most unique feat In globe-g1rd-
Ling on record The Admiral was successful enough
at trading glass beads and 10-cent mirrors with
gukless savages for diamond necklaces and strings
of pearl, but his successors have thrown such ex-
ploits into the shade; and the dinner at Dclmon-
ico's last night, with which baseball enthusiasts
celebrated the momentous fact, was on becom-
ingly magnificent scale
The invitations were as carefully RESTRICT.
cd as those to entertainments in honor Of
effete royalties in Europe The best speak,
ers were secured, and mystery surround
ed the selection Of chairman until
the last moment; and it is safe to say that no
more cordial good-fellowship or open-hsnded
hospitality has been displayed at any festivity
Of the kind of recent memory.
Over $50 diners sat down at the eight long
tables, which groaned under q fragrant burden
Of rose-banlcs potted palms, csflas, and
allegorical floral designs. Sugar models of base
ball favorites in approved Graeco-R Roman stti-
tudes were placed side by side with pink-shaded
candles and succulent counterfeits of the calf
skin ball. Portrait groups of the two teams, with
their trim white shirts, and knickerbockers stand
ing out against backgrounds Of classical ruins
and the luxuriant tangle of tropical jungles.
adorned the walls; and the glded eagles above the
shields and flags with which they were interspersed
were shown in the position the American bird IN
variably assumes when he wants to scream. An
orchestra IN the draped gallery played lullabies
and love-songs and other appropriate pieces, as
we'll as the patriotic airs of which the voyagers
had heard distorted versions rendered By the
musicians Of KING Kalakaua and other well-mean-
ing pCtentates.
The menu was bound with colored ribbon, bear
ing on its face a picture of the globe afioat in
clouds, and containing pictures in tinted ink OF
various scenes of the tour The toast card was
as follows: "Our Guests. Messrs Spslding, An
