The luncheon was served in the ban
quet hall. The floor was covered with
crimson rugs and the walls We're con-
cealed by tapestry, either reddish or
brown in hue. The same decorations
prevailed in the balcony, which eX-
tends along the east and south sides of
the hall. The balustrade of the bal
couy, however, was left open, that the
guests beneath might have an unob-
structed view of the rich gowns of the
women, who had been invited to wit
ness the function. The women num-
bered about ninety and We're the guests
of the wives of the hosts.
1t had been the aim of those who gave
the luncheon to conduct it in every es-
sentIal as though it was an entertain
ment given in private residence, and
it was explained that in inviting the
captains of industry an effort had
been made to select as such guests only
men who had done something toward
the progress and prosperity of the
United States.
In arranging the menu. it was borne
in mind that Prince Henry said before
he arrived in New York that he hoped
he would have an opportunity to par
take of some characteristic American
dishes, and it was also in consideration
of German taste that the canvass back
duck was boiled and not roasted.
Prince TIenry'S desire to hear some
music which was dstictly American
was also the determining factor in the
selection of large variety of Ameri-
can popular, as we'll as national airs.
AT the plates of the ladies invited as
spectators We're placed little bouquets
of jessamines and gardenias, Prince
Henrys favorite flowers, and when his
royal highness saw the ladies wearing
these favors he sent for one and pinned
it on his coat lapel.
The Americans at tables We're desig-
mated as special guests in the booklet
of forty-four numbered pages, especial
ly compiled for the occasion, which told
of the achievements of each of the
Captains of Industry" who had been
invited to the function. A copy was
presented to Prince Henry by Edward
ID. Adams when he dined with his royal
highness aboard the yacht Hohenzol-
lern on Tuesday, and it was evident
that the prince had made a careful
study of the contents, for when intro
duced to each captain of industry"
after the breakfast, he showed re-
markable knowledge of their achieve
ments by conversing with each of them
at more or less length.
When the luncheon was finished Mr..
Morgan proposed toasts to the "Presi-
dent of the United States" "To the
Emperor of Germany" and prince
Henry of Prussia"
His royal highness rose in response
and offered the toast ITO the Captains
of Industry" After that Mr.. Morgan
proposed the toast, THE Ladies'" No
sooner were the toasts over than the
walters, who We're dressed in black
corded coats, black waistcoats and with
invisible buttons, black plush knee
brceches, with gold buckles at the
knee, black stock stockings, patent
leather pumps, and white gloves, re-
moved some of the tables and placed
about the room small stands, on which
were cigars and cigarettes. Prince
Henry and his suite left their table and
each was presented to the guests. The
prince held a brief conversation with
each who was thus introduced, and
after all had been presented took
seat in the center of a group compris-
