was pretty and the tenor was an

afternoon the grand duke had an en-
Sagement and went alone to first

joined by the leading lady he had
seen the night before. The cafe is so
arranged that it has a number of

TO the horror of the grand duke,
there was the grand duchess sitting at
table with the tenor of the company
TO which the actress belonged. The
tenor looked at the actress with aa
much amazement as the grand duke
and grand duchess did at each other.
Shouting at the grand duke that he had
lnsulted his wife (for this was the re.
iation he had with the woman) he
rushed at him, and for a few minutes
there was a great mixup in the little

BIG RECEPTION PLANNED.
American Athletes Will Get Warm
 Welcome on Their Return.

New York, July 2S.-There seems every Likelihood that the American team of athletes who won a majority of the events in the recent Olympiad in London over all other nations, Will be given big public reception in this city upon their arrival. Steps are being taken for such reception and the city may take an ofnclal part in it.
 P. J. Conway, president of the Irish-American Athletic association' William P. Mclaughlin, of the same organization, and Alderman J. D. Cayanaugh, a committee from the IT. A. A. A., called on Acting Mayor McGowan yesterday and had talk with him about the matter. MT Me Gowan is strongly impressed with the idea of an enthusiastic welcome to the athletes. AS he greeted the committee he arose from a great pile of bonds he was signing. He picked up an armiul of them and said: "I wish I could give every one of these young fellows $10,OO0 bond. That's the way l feel about it."
 The acting mayor thinks that not only the city of New York, but the state of New York ought to join in giving the American Olympic win ners a splendid reception.
 Mayor Mcclellan is away just now" said MT McGowan, 2" but l know from communications I've had with him that he's of the same mind as myself about this. If there shall be a great public reception to these young men who did so well, l trust it will be held in the City hall. If it is, I'll see that every inch of bunt- ing we have in the building is dis played in their honor"
 MT McGowan suggested that small executive committee be named to submit plans and scope of a re- ception to a body of citizens who might decide on what the programme of the day should be.
 "I think President Roosevelt would be in favor of a great recep- tion for these gentlemen, who have won such honors for our country. We know his attitude towards ath- letics, but I don't know yet whether he intends taking any part in well coming these athletes"
 Of its own accord the Irish-Amer- | ican Athletic association will dine the Olympic team at the Hotel Plaza possibly the night of the reception here.
