tinuaiiy cheering and occasionally calling,
CHEERS for the prince" cheers for the
president" or cheers for Miss Roosevelt"
The latter had to repeatedly bow her &C.
acknowledgements. The prince Immediately
after the launching, sent the following
cablegram in German.
Prince Gables 10 Emperor.
To the German emperor, Berlin. Yacht
Just Launched under brilliant auspices
SsssttisfSfio craT Great enfSssissm. / CON-
%gratulate you with all my hssrt,,cr
soon after the launching the presidential
party and the prince proceeded to the hall,
where a luncheon had been prepared. The
health Of the prince was drunk, and then
Prince Henry said:
ION. this occasion I wish to call for
three hearty cheers for the president Of
the United States" Mr.. Roosevelt, hip.
hip. hoorah." =
Az the prince said this he waved his arms
as a signal and the building shook with
cheers. Then President Roosevelt raised
his right hand and when there was silence,
said.
IL ask three cheers for the guest who
has already won our hearts, Henry of Prus-
STA. Now a good one
President starts Cheering.
President Roosevelts hip. hip, hoorah"
was drowned in the roar Of applause that
greeted the call for cheers. Then the
prince and president shook hands warmly
and az the party started to leave the hall
some one among the invited guests
shouted, "Mr. President, ofer three
cheers for the young lady who has had
the honor OF launching Meteor"
The cheers were given. The presidential
party ana the prince and his suite then
left for Hohenzollern. The arrangements
at Shooters Island generally were mis-
cradle and a situation Of discomfort to the
majority was accumulated by the FIRST and
second battaliops OF the New York State
Naval militia, brought TO the island to keep
the lines and to fire the presidential and
royal salutes. Unable to keep the lines,
especially after the launching, the militia
men lost their heads and took to the rough
handling OF many persons, even women, re-
fuslng. to recognize either badges or cards
Of Invitation.
Secretary Root Crowded Back.
Secretary OF War Root, for instance, was
forced back with q gun against his breast
and would have been unable to enter the
building, where the president, prince and
party were TO launch had It not been for
the timely arrival OF Chief Wilkie OF the
secret service, who explained to the militia
men Mr.. Roots name and rank. There
were many similar instances.
Order. was not fully restored even when
the presidential party appeared and the
progress to the luncheon room was there
fore slower. The hundreds Of police pres
ent conducted themselves with the utmost
good nature and acted, so far as their duty
was concerned, in a very efficient manner.
The Shooters Island arrangements for
the comfort Of the guests we're exceedingly
bad. No attempt, 1t seemed, had been made
to remove the thick coating Of slush and
dirty snow on the roadways and a number
Of the guests remained on board the tugs
or other boats because Of the difficulties
the ladies Of their party we're called on to
encounter.
From Shooters Island the president and
the prince went to HohenEoliern, where
luncheon was served.
