GREAT BANQUET
 FOR THE PRINCE
PIERPoNT MORGAN IS MOVING SPIRIT AND THE LUNCHEON AT SHERRY'S WILL SURPASS ANY ENTERTAINMENT ATTEMPTED.

New York. February H.1Of all the en- tertainments organized in honor of Prince Henry there will be none more elabo- rate than the luncheon to be given for him at Sherry's on Wednesday next by the representatives of Amercan finance, trade and industry.
 The moving spirit in the affair is J. Pierpont Morgan. and 1t is projected to surpass anything of the kind that has ever taken place here before.
 The cost of the luncheon will be great and among the items of expense will be the highly ornate liveries now being made for the entire staff of walters employed in connection with the entertainment.
 Ihe prince and his entertainers will be surrounded by servitors who will look as if they had stepped out of a canvas painted in the days of the Georges of England. Each of these servitors, smooth shaven and impassive of countenanoe' will wear, instead of the conventional swallow tail a black cloth coat with seven cloth-covered black buttons on either side, beginning at the neck ana extending to the waist. A fine piece or black braid runs from the bottom to the edge of the coat. which is without lapels and has clerical collar. A white stock encrcles the neck and at the front of the throat Is a white satin tie.
 Under the coat is a white buttonless waistcoat. the bottom coming well down over the waistband of the black plush brooches of full cut, gathered in at the knees with band which tops pair Of white stockings. Patent leather pumps with buckles complete the costume
 The whole outfit is a complete repro duetion of the livery used in England a century ago, but of much finer texture.
