OF Battenberg was the guest of the

luncheon today and tonight will attend
a great entertainment AZ Coney Island
which the American bluejackets are
giving to their British cousins
The prince will give grand ball on
board the flagship Drake tomorrow
evening. On Wednesday, the last even
ing of his visit. he will be given a din
ner by the Pilgrims society of New
York. The next day his squadron sails
for Gibraltar
Prince Louis is being kept on the
move. Between 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and midnight Saturday he held -four
receptions, reviewed a parade, saw o.
football game, attended state lunch
con and society dinner, travelled 10c
miles by boat ana train and was in
terviewed. And yet he got up Sunday
morning in time to go to church at
Trinity. He is running strong with
out sign of break.
After seeing the Carlisle Indians trim
the West Point football team in the
DItSClNt III lut now vi VI tllt tfliit0
States army he is of the opinion that
American football is not so interesting
game as his own Rugby. He is
strong for West Point, and well he
may be, for the Naval alumni and the
elements together gave him beauti
full day-one that will be remembered
along the Hudson.
The prince and his party went by
the steamer c. W. Morse. The Naval
alumni had the affair in charge and
had been liberal with invitations. The
700 guests included most of the officers
on the two fleets, a lot Of the army men
in and about New York, distinguished
civilians and especially pretty women.
1t may have been an accident, but so
distinguished a beauty expert as De-
tective Sergeant Funston of the New
York dress suit squad, who does Moth
ing else but guard and observe social
affairs, declared that this was the
greatest aggregation of beautiful wom
en- he ever saw. The men came for
the most part in uniform.
On the way up the river the prince
reviewed the American fleet. The Eng
lishmen took no notice of their adj.
miral The Maine of the American
fleet, on the other hand, piped to quar-
tiers and the band played the national
airs as he passed. On all the other
American ships the crews stood at at
tention, and there were quarters on the
Pennsylvania. The Morse passed so
close that her pasCsnSsrs could read
the insignia OF the officers on deck.
Prince Louis stood on the upper deck
by the pilot house and watched the
feet until the last American cruiser
was lost to sight in the mists of the
river.
The admiral said to the representa-.
tives Of the newspapers:
Il did not mean to be understood as
saying that any fleet could reduce your
city to atoms. That would be child's
talk. What did mean and what re-
peat is that no city would suffer more
from the effects of "A war because it
would put stop to its tremendous
commercial activity, which was one of
the first things that impressed me.
"True, a squadron of hostile warships
might come up the Hudson river and
level the great buildings with their
shells, but buildings can be put up
again, whereas the loss to business and
the trade with other cities and coun-
tries would be incalculable. For that
reason New York and America at large
should exert every effort to maintain
peace, and for that same reason. on
another scale, the whole world owes a
debt of gratitude to President Roose-
welt for his efforts In behalf of peace"
The Indians from Carlisle scalped the
football team of West Point and won
their initial gridiron struggle with the
army eleven by 6 to 3. the home team
failing to kick goal which would
have tied the game, from Il difficult
angle.
The scene of the struggle proved q
mecca for probably 5000 persons.
Miss Roosevelt is in town and has
attended the various entertainments in
honor of Prince Louis OF Battenberg
and in honor of the officers of the Brit
sh cruiser squadron. She is staying
with her aunt Mrs. Douglas Robinson.
Miss Roosevelt will be at the ball to
be given tomorrow evening by Prince
Louis on board his flagship Drake and
on Wednesday will join Mrs. Ogden
Mills house party at Staatsburg-on-
the Hudson, given for the prince and
for his nephew, young Alexander of
Battenberg.
Mr. and Mrs. John II. Drexel captHr
ed Prince Louis for the only really
private entertainment which he has at
tended during his stay here. With his
young nephew, Prince Alexander OF
Battenberg, he was present at a lunch
con given in his honor, at which Miss
Alice Roosevelt was an honored guest.
