H. those Of any other passenger.
He took all his meals at the public table,
rlavrd ahunIe board. frequently walked
Inc decks and chatted freely with many Of
the other passengers. His health has
evidently much improved, for he was able
to eat the regular hill of fare but he drank
only milk.
His opponents at Switchboard found
him A Keen competitor. In the final game
he won by a lucky shot when his score was
50 and his opponents 90, and he danced
a little jig of victory, 1t was difficult to
believe he had been described as a feeble
man.
He visited most parts Of the ship except
one, and on Sunday evening he even looked
in there. He appeared at the entrance
to the smoking room n saw a large crowd
drinking and smoking, His expression was
as II he we're on a Summing expedition,
and he was not pleased by what he saw,
for he quickly withdrew.
He made a little speech to the passengers
IN the second cabin on his favorite topic,
economy, and his auditors seemed to be
highly edited.
The only unpleasant incident was in
connection with the concert collection. 1t

So did the collectors and others who had
craned their necks to see the measure OF
generosity Of the richest man in the world.
The captain naturally refused to have any
thing to do with the squabble and the topic
smoking room gossip for tho re-
mainder of the voyage.
At the captains dinner asst night every
body was in the gayest spirits. Mr.. Rookie
Teller found a green foolscap in his cracker
and he wore it throughout the dinner.
The ship was full Of the usual gossip, the
most persistent yarn being that the reason
the vovage was so slow was because it was
to rescreen all the coal because
the police had been informed a bomb was
conce lied In the fuel. Some solemnly
believed the story.

La Provence was reported as passing the
Lizard at 945 yesterday morning and at

SCilly Islands.
The Lizard is fifty miles furt her from
New York than the Sicily Islands-a sail Of
q little over two hours-so hat 1t looks as
the French boat was some four hours
ahead of the Hamburg-American liner,
Officers Of the Hamburg line said they be-
lieved that the Deut schland had taken a
more mort herly and longer course than hat
of La Provence and really was not slower.
La Provence proved herself a very fast
boat on her maiden voyage from Havre,
breaking the record for the western trip;
She made this passag e in @ days, 0 hours and
10 minutes. Her average speed was 6s2
miles a day or about 20 miles an hour.
