several American vessels gave the har-
,or a gay appearance yesterday by dis
rloving national flags in honor of Wash
irqfoo's birthday. Besides this show of
a.-riotism the day was generally observ-

amors the seafaring.
The craft that made the most attractive
dispi1y however, was Edward Kellys
yacht Barracuda Capt. Filley, now berth
Cd al the foot of Abercorn street. Her
lines we're strung with gaudy colors early
in ,ne day, and were generally observed
and admired by visitors to the river. At
night the yachts decks were lined with
small incandescent lights, representing
The red, white and blue, which produced
brilliant effect. While the size of the
vessel did not admit of a larger display,
her commander made the best of the IA
cilities he had, and succeeded in making
show that attracted considerable atten-

Steamship Line, which arrived in Sayan-

attempted.

ashore, and were temporarily buried on
the beach. The bodies of another son
and a passenger, fltZhugh Lee Goldsbor-

been recovered Since the loss of the
Priscilla a third son of the Captain and
the Captain himself have died at sea.

number of state and city officials, railway
and steamship people and the public gen.
