 The other teams personnel was: Charles W. Pearson, captain: John O. Hyman Schwartz and Wollford Le- Riziere. But the captain couldn't take his place on the rope, and that ex- plains what happened.
 Shortly after 12 o'clock they sat down to an appetizing dinner al the Ocean Beach pavilion. Some time was occupied in discussing the excellent menu, no post prandial exercises hav- ing been arranged, it being the inten- ton to leave formalities out of the program for the day. and making It a day of recreation and relaxation.

TRAIN LOAD OF sTEERAGE
 PASSENGERS FROM cEcILIE
Came From Bar Harbor, Going Through New London to New York.

Another special train from Bar Harbor, with passengers from the kronprinzessin Cecelie, passed through New London on Thursday morning. It had on board 450 steer age passengers and reached New Lon- don at s.S5, having left Bar Harbor Wednesday night at o'clock for New York, In charge of Conductor Frank Kent. It made a 1o-minute stop in New London.
 The specials passengers were a sor- ry looking lot, in comparison with the first nd second cabin passengers, who went through on a special Wednesday morning. The train contained Rus sians. Germans. Austrians and Hun garians and Servians. Nose of them had rather hazy notion that there was trouble lover in the old country. and were anxious to complete the Journey for which they contracted with the steamship company.
 One young man. who looked most likely to be a possessor of inform ation was approached by a reported. He was asked: Well. sir what kind of a time have you folks in the steerage been hayingT
 The young man paused, looked over the inquirer, and remarked plainly I'm German. I don't talk English. You will have to talk with some of the others"
 He was prompt to walk away, ieav- ing the impression that what English he did talk he talked very well. There was less of a demand for coffee than there was from Wednesdays crowd but there was more of a demand for
 beer, with the result that saloons in the vicinity did a lively business while the train waited. All the passengers seemed to have United States coins. One very obliging Russian said the steerage passengers knew very little l about the Cecilie's movements. Wher she turned about to put back to Amer ica, the steerage was bunked for tht [ night. The next day 1t leaked out i among the immigrants that they were ] headed in the direction opposite thai 1 of the day before. Once in a whil' a visitor to the steerage brought in 1 formation, which was passed along bA l immigrants who could understand more than their own language. All of the men in the train are thu ! single men, or men who if married | did not have their wives and familie! | with them on the steamship voyage | All the married men and their wivet ! were left aboard the steamship.
