SPECIAL POLICE ON GUARD
/ NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia is due in New York
tomorrow. That he will arrive on sched-
| ule time is, however, exceedingly doubt
full The Kronprinz Wilhelm, to equal her
westward record, should reach Sandy
Hook lightship by I 45 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Owing to the conditions now
prevalent on the Atlantic, her arrival at
any hour during tomorrow will be sur
prising.
Of all the entertainments organized in
| honor of Prince Henry there will be
| none more elaborate than the luncheon
to be given for him at Sherry's Wednes-
day next by the representatives of
! American finance, trade and industry, the
| moving spirit of which is J. Pierpont
| Morgan. In the way of giving
the royal visitor an idea of
! American gastronomy, it 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 con-
nection with the entertainment
Odd Uniform for servItors.
The 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 of impassive countenance
| will wear, instead of the conventional
| swallow tail, black cloth coat with
seven cloth-covered black buttons on
| either side, beginning at the neck and
| extending to the waist. A fine piece Of
black braid runs from the button to the
| edge of the coat, which is without lapeis
and has clerical collar A white stock
encircles the neck and at the front of
/ the throat is a white satin bow.
Under the coat-is a white buttonIess
waistcoat the bottom coming well down
over the waistband of the black plush
breeches of full cut, gathered in at the
knees with band which tops a pair
of white stockings. Patent leather pumps,
with buckles, complete the costume. The
whole outfit is a complete reproduction
OF the livery used in England a century
ago, but of much finer texture.
