gramme was carried out after
the Dolphin, followed by the Isa-
bel and the Christina, and booming
out a national salute of twenty-one
guns, had arrived at quarantine.
Meanwhile the beautiful mahogany
barge of the Dolphin had been put
afioat, and Commander Davis in special
full-dress uniform took his seat in the
stern sheets and was rowed over to the
Isabel. He was immediately escorted
to the captains cabin where
the infanta was installed and was
presented to the princess by the
Spanish minister. The meeting was
pleasant and as devoid of formality
as such meetings can be. Commander
Davis welcomed the infanta to the
United States in the name of the presi-
dent and expressed the hope that she
would have an agreeable visit. The in
fanta responded in simple and unaf-
tected language, expressing her great
qualification at the opportunity which
had been afforded to her. Then the
conversation turned on the order of
ceremonies and the infanta announced
with regret that she felt obliged to de-
cline the offer to board the Dolphin at
the entrance of the harbor, in view
of the instructions of her govern
ment to enter New York harbor
on a Spanish man-of-war. However
when Commander Davis invited her
to luncheon aboard the Dolphin at
the end of the voyage the princess ac-
cepted the invitation cordially.

and then other members of the receiv-

enormous, and the princess looked
pleased as she saw the throng that had

the while. The lnfanta, Secretary
