A big whale about 80 feet long was
seen inside of White Head between Peaks
and Cushing's islands Wednesday night.

swan up as far as the spindles where he
seemed somewhat alarmed at his narrow

Mr.. BRYAN IN NEW YORK.
MI. and Mrs. Bryan and MIR. sewan Re-
ceived at the Windsor Hotel.

New York, August 13.-William j.
Bryan was about early again today ready
to continue his programme of receptions
and speechmaking. He had an early
breakfast at. the st. John residence, and
about O'Clock received callers. Among
those who dropped in were Ben Tillnan,
Father Duoey and some other men of less
distinction.
MT. st. John despatched note to Pro.
prietor Leland of the Windsor hotel. in
which he said: 'Mr. Bryan will receive
on your balcony with Mr.. Sewall. Mr..
Bryan will receive at 10. 80 In the ladies'
parlor, members of the committee only.
Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Bland and Mrs. Stone
Will hold reception, for women only,
at O'Clock in the ladies' parior.'
Inc windsor hotel was decorated early
6ouay In anticipation of the reception,
with potted. plants and national colors.
AT II. 30 O'clock when Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan, Mr. Sewall and Mr.. st. John ar
rived at the hotel there were about $50
~ attendance. There was no demonstra-
tion OF any SORT The programme was
changed at the last moment because of
the small crowd and the receiving party
took up position on the floor of the par
lor instead of the balcony, and an atten-
dant descended to the hall and announced
that Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan are now receiv-
ing.
Mrs. Bryan stood between her husband
and Mr.. Sewall. She wore dress o
black lowered silk with short jacket.
Mr. Bryan wore his we'll described suit
of black and alpaca coat. Mr.. Sewall
looked unoomfortably warm in black
frock coat, checked trousers and patent
leather shoes. The programme announced
by Mr.. st. John was that there should be
no handshaktng. This proyiso was dis
regarded. Eyery one who attended the
reception shook hands with each of the
three. AS each visitor stepped towards
Mr.. Bryan he whispered his name. There
was mo master Of ceremonies. Mr.. Bryan
caught the name and as the visitors
passed on named him to Mr. Sewall. The
reception lasted less than an hour. Mr..
st. John attributed the small crowd to
the failure of the newspapers to give
sufficient notice of 1t.
Mr.. st. John guarded the Presidential
nominee so. carefully that the reporter
could not obtain an interview with him.
Mr.. Bryan was willing to talk, but as
soon as he started to open his mouth, Mr..
st. John interfered with "Now, you
must not bother Mr.. Bryan" From 10. 80
to 1.SO, Mr.. Bryan informally received
the member of the national omlnittee
and of the notification committee at the
Windsor hotel.
