No dafntier. pretier vessel will float OF
Newport this summer than the Mayfower,
which is to be the oceanhouse of Presi-
dent Roosevelt during the present yachting
season.
This beautiful boat has Just been reatted
at a cost of $4,000 at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
The last touch to the yachts ~refurnishing
was finished late in July. She was recent
" commissioned.
Preuarations for the part which the May

the officers at the navy yard or the last
month, during which time they have bean

Now that the work is finished, every one

feels satisfied with the result Of the duty
which fell to the yard.
In the four weeks given to overhaulins.
the Mayfower has undergone almost a
complete transformation. From stem to
stern she has been entirely rehtted and
refurnished.
Naturally. the chief care Of those reno
waiting the yacht has been given to the
quarters which President and Mrs. Roose-

six st4teroons, the recepUon-room and the

rooms. which will be for the President and

lavishly furnished. Much care has also
been taken with the room which Miss Alice

Rich Silk in COlors

In the alterations. special attention has
been given to the decorations Of the bulk
heads. and to the panelings. which are
covered with rich silk, in colors.
Forward on the spar deck are the state
rooms OF the surgeon and paymaster.
These apartments are fitted in simple, but
expensive style.
