THE BRADLEY MARTINS SAIL FOR
EUROPE WITH ElGHTY=SEVEN TRUNKS
From the Now York World.


OHE Bradley Martins have gone,
WIN bag and baggage, to say moth
ing of a retinue of servants
- enough for a summer hotel.
They sailed yesterday on the Teutonic for
Liverpool. Hereafter they will live in
England because Mr.. Bradley Martin likes
the shooting better there. Their Ameri-
can income is estimated at something like
100000 year.
Their famous dinner was the talk of the
town yesterday. It eclipsed anything ever
given on this side of the ocean in private
way. It figured up $40 plate for eighty
six guests and chefs and clubmen, society
leaders and shop girls. all took hand in
figuring how the Bradley Martins could
spend so close on to $4,000 on mere din
ner without any entertainment afterward.
But they did and the glory of it will live
long. Yesterday the great Aston gallery
was stripped of all its profusion of the
night before and the costly flowers were
sent downstairs. The great table, built
specially to order for the feast. was taken
apart. The silver was put away in the
safes and the glass and linen stored await
ing another successful effort to outbid
Lueullus.
Two Ways of Figuring
There were poor people, too, who are
glad enough to get a dinner costing cents
plate, who read of the princely feast and
regal display. They had a hard time figur-
ing that any meal could cost $110 plate,
but the Waldorf-Astoria chef didn't find it
so hard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin and Master
Bradley Martin boarded the Teutonic full
hour before sailing time. Mrs Martin was
gowned in gray. The vehicle that brought
them to the pier was the democratic hotel
stage. 1t was too early for friends Of
the family to go to the pier to say good-by,
but some choice flowers had been sent.
In rows and stacks, like Notifications,
the Bradley Martin trunks, valises, cases,
baskets, shawl-straps, of all sizes and
styles, were ranged along the pier before
the big crane that hoisted them aboard
was set in operation. Every Bradley
Martin trunk bears not only the letters
"B. NJ" but also a number to insure
against loss.
Carried Lots of Luggage
The numbers began yesterday with 1 and
amounted to 81. When the Bradley Mar
tins arrived from England a few weeks ago
they had comparatively few trunks, but
the sale of their residence in this city
forced them to take with them back to
Old England many household ornaments
and furnishings. valuable for their associa-
ton rather than for their intrinsic
worth.
Il have formed a new rule not allow my
self to be interviewed" said Mr.. Martin
Il once was interviewed by reporter and
the published interview was inaccurate"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin were in
visible when the Teutonic pushed away
from her pier. They had been invisible
for half hour previous. But they were
on the ship and got their farewell glimpses
of their native land through their cabin

LYDIA rHoMpsoNs FAREWELL

At Lydia Thompson's recent benefit in
London she recited the following lines writ

Mr.. w. S. Gilbert:

Thinking of pleasant times long past and
gone,
''Why. bless my precious heart and soul!'
said l.
"Pve left the stage. and haven't said
'Good-bye!"
That sounds ungrateful, but, to be quite
plain,
I hoped l might be coming back again,
And would not speak the word one can't
recall,
Till Goodbye" meant Goodbye" for
good and all.

Sorry you're going, but you've had your

To you---the truest friends I've ever known;
The friends whose warmth expressed in
gladdening chime

The case is somewhat different. You see,
I'm losing you-you're only losing mel
But this won't do at all-Im off the scent
MY lines light comedy, not sentiment.
My future tense seems cheeriness to lack
And so won't look forward-I'll look back.

again brought into use and was good
for ten yards. with the ball close in
Smiths arms. The ball was then FUN

yards, and Gardanier went across the
