ception at the City Hall. He stepped into an
automobile at the pier.
At $40 O'Clock President and Mrs. Roosevelt

Twenty-third-st. ferry. Their departure was
preceded by pretty ceremony. The Presidents
flag was hauled down from the peak. where 1t
had flown since the President boarded the
Hohenzollern the jackies drew up in quarters.
and their rousing cheers mingled with the
strains Of The Star Spangled Banner"
Mrs Roosevelt carried I'm her arms huge
bunch of American Beauty roses and lilies of the
valley which had been presented 20 her by the
Prince She also carried the menu Of the lunch
con- a white card which had at the top picture
Of the Hohenzollern.
There were few people on the pier, and those
that were were outnumbered two to one by the
| force of police Just before the President left
the yacht two OF the senior officers Of the vessel
walked to the end of the gangway and stood at
attention while the President and his wife
walked between them.
Soon after the President had gone, Miss Alice
Roosevelt walked down the gangway on the arm
| Of Ex-Governor Morton. With Mrs. Morton they
| entered Mr. Morton's automobile and started for
his house.
Miss Roosevelt wore round her as she was
"Hohenzollern" stamped upon It. II was learned
| that she priced the menu that she carried be-
cause the Prince had inscribed his name upon it.
