A BR|ADLED PARTY
Whites and Negroes Dine at
the White House.
Crews of lhs M,,Amar and SyIph Received b,
the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt.
Washington Post.)

Two hundred strapping bluejackets, neat
and clean in their best uniforms, were
received in the East Room at the White
House by the President and Mrs. Roose
welt at 2:3O yesterday afternoon. and
later they partook-fve negro seamen
among them-of light refreshments in the
State dining-room. They were the enlisted
men Of the U. S. S. Mayflower and the
u. S. S. Sylph. both of which craft are
much used by the President and his fam
lily during the summer, and which are
lying at the Washington Navy Yard. the
commander-in-chief of the army and navy
and the gracious first lady of the land
were merely expressing by this reception,
one of the most unique ever held in
the White House, their appreciation Of
the thoughtful service always rendered
them by the crews of both gallant ships.
Incidentally the function repaid the
f'c'sle DINNER which the crew of the
Sylph gave the President and Mrs Roose-
welt at Oyster Bay last summer.
The commissioned officers of the two
ships had nothing whatever to do with
the ceremony. Commander Gleaves, Of
the Mayflower, and Lieut. Preston. of the
Sylph, are both much liked by the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, but they re-
ceived no invitation. Commanded only
by the petty officers, the bluejackets
marched up the circular driveway at the
White House and into the East Room
There they passed in line, each shaking
hands with the President and receiving
word from him. while a smile and gra-
cteuS greeting was forthcoming to each
from Mrs. Roosevelt. The President was
extremely cordial to the buejackets,
many OF whom he knows by name
