 London, Jan. 29.-While the American branch of the Pilgrims society was giving it's dinner tonight at Delmon- ico's in New York in honor of Sir Henry Mortimer Durand. British ambassador to the United States, the English branch of the society celebrated with 9 supper at the Carlton hotel.
 Shortly before the Delmonic banquet commenced some seventy members of the Pilgrims society here sat down at number of small tables, which were all looped up with telegraph wires strung on miniature poles and decorat- ed with foliage. Among those present were Joseph Choate, the American ann bassador: the Earl of Halsbury lord high chancellor; Sir Edward L. Durand, brother of Sir Henry; Sir Thomas Lip- ton, Lord Deerhurst, Lord Fairfax, Sir Alfred Lewis Jones, John Renniker Peaton, Secretary Carter of the United States embassy, Moberly Bell, Rev. Will liam McDonald Sinclair. archdeacon of London, and Alexander Siemens. Sew eral we'll known Pilgrims, including Lord Roberts and Admiral Lord Charles Beressord, who are both i'll, sent re- grets.
 The unicue feature of the evening consisted in the installation by trans Atlantic Cable company of cable instru- ments in one end of the supper hall. By means of this arrangement frequent messages were exchanged between Del monico's in New York and the Carlton hotel here so that the English Pilgrims felt almost as much in touch with the New York celebration as if they had been actually present, Two old grand- fathers clocks, one showing English and .he other American time, enabled Mr. Choate, the Earl of Halsbury and the others to keep an eye on the pro-
 gress of the New York banquet. The usual cable company's clock with red hand showing American time was placed between the two old grandfa- ther's clocks and noticeably marked the
 progress of the age. Strands of the Att
 lantic cable placed upon the tables en-
 abled the guests to realize the means by
 which such instantaneous and intimate
 interchange was possible, in spite of the difficulties of distance and the differ
 ence in time
 The name of Sir Henry Mortimer
 Durand was, when pronounced, given a
 warm welcome.
