Acting British Commissioner
W. j. Kenny royalty entertained
the general com mittee on the Vic
toria ball to luncheon at the Lega-
ton yesterday from l to 3 o'clock.
There were more than thirty gen
tlemen present. 1t was quite i'm
pressive, the drinking of the
Queens health when the govern
ment band played "God Save the
Queen" Ireland, Scotland and
England were in the order stated
honored and then the Colonies were
remembered. Prof. Berger repre-.
secuted 'the cousin" Germany,
although he did not inflict the
pun, "the cousin german" on the
ompany. His predicstiog of per-
petual peace between Great Bri.
tain and Germany, with the decla
ration that he was a Saxon and
"blood was thicker than water"
WAS loudly cheered. N+atspeeches
were made by Messrs. Kenny,
Swanzy, Stanley, Macintosh pere
and fiIs, Cation, Sproull, DR.. Muir
ray and Others. The playing and
singing of the band boys made a
delightful feature. Beautiful
menu cards in pen work were
placed at each guests cover. and
the viands were of fine cuisine.
Mr.. Kenny is model host.

Some Figures Furnished by the BEN
ninRton's Navigating officer.
The navigating officer Of the
Bennington, Lieutenant Mills,
has been figuring on the
distance between San Fran
cisco and Manila direct and via
Honolulu. He finds that by fol
lowing the great circle route the
distance between the two places is
6100 miles. By way of Honolulu
it would be about 1000 miles. A
direct route would take the Picking
about 600 miles north of this port
and by stopping here it would en-
tail an extension of the trip over
three days. When the Gaelic left
San Francisco at noon on
the 10th the Picking was
just beginning to discharge. 1t
would take two days for that.
Then a day and a half on the
dry dock would put her again at
the wharf for loading of stores.
This loading has to be very care
fully done, and it would take the
better part of two days. She
could not possibly sail before the
10th or 18th lust, and if she came
here it would not be until yes
terday or today at the earliest.
