The Battleship's Crew Entertains
Hundreds of Guests in Regal
Fashion.

Two hundred guests, leaving care be-
hind, visited the battleship Iowa last

merry minstrels for two hours. The affair
was given in honor of Mayor Phelan, by
the crew of the battleship, in return for
his entertainment of the gallant jackies
at the Orpheum last week. Under the
forward gun, which poured out fire and
shot at Santiago, the guests were seated.
Those of the crew not on the programme
perched themselves on the high turret,
while some ventured out on the long bar
rels, constituting themselves regulation
gallery gods. The entire forward deck
was covered and walled with canvas, the
stage being in the bows. The footlight
ter of the word 3fWelcome,'' and national
coIors entwined with navy pennants
made bright decoration;
The performance developed excellent
of the turns rivaling those of burnt cork
veterans. The first part was opened with
a chorus, and the solos by J; F. Sheylin.
E. NJ Atkins and George Mccoy were
highly appreciated. The jokes were up
to date. A brilliant tableau, Columbia

mirth w. E. Whitehead, assisted by
George Mccoy, followed with reminis-
cences of the black art The Iowa quar-

and transported the guests. After the
show had concluded dancing was fndulged
in on the deck of the vessel.
