is present.
Empress Augusta Victoria, it is un-
derstOod, desires to remain near the
crown princess, and Princess Henry of
Prussia is taking holiday in Ba-

mediately, arriving here Saturday ev-

plimentary to Amerca and Americans.
After the dinner the emperor and
Princess Eitel, with their guests and

ter-deck of the Hamburg to witness
the illuminations. The clubhouse, the
hotel and other buildings We're out
lined in electric lights, and the sixteen
battle ships, ten cruisers, twelve mer-
chant ships and 100 yachts in the har-
Dor were strung with incandescent
globes, while many searchlights play
ing about made a gorgeous scene.
Throng Sees Celebration.
Just above the room in the hotel oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth
were the Stars and Stripes in colored
lights. A great assemblage from Kiel
and neighboring towns crowded the
water front to witness the illumina-

Mr. and Mrs. Longworth were de-
tanned by Emperor William until after
II o'clock. The Illumination ended
with every warship sending up blazing

The large class yachts raced again
yesterday Emperor William took with
him on board the Meteor Prince Adal-
bert and his three younger brothers,
and Commander William L. Howard,
Commander Philip w Dumas and Cap
tain Jonquieres naval attaches re-
spectively of the United States, Great
Britain and France. He served all of
them at lunch with his own hand, re-
quiring the princess to come to him
with their plates. The breeze was
light and the emperor said it was not
worth while sailing over the course,
and did not take part in the race. The
yacht Hamburg did the nineteen knots
under five hours and won.
In the next class G. W. Watjen's
Navajoe covered the distance in four
hours and forty-five minutes and beat
the Comet which finished in four
hours, thirty-eight minutes and thirty
one seconds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth followed the
racers on Allison Armour's steam
yacht Utowana. Bands on the eXcur-
sion steamers played the American
national anthem when passing the ves-
sci.
