During the afternoon, the waters of 
the harbor were alive with beautifully 
decorated boats, and a cloudless sky and 
flaring sun gave everything a touch of 
splendor. The Mayflower, dressed from 
stem to stern, was anchored in the Bev- 
erly channel early in the morning and the 
Sylph, similarly decorated, dropped down 
alongside. The invited guests began ar- 
riving at noon and navy launches were 
kept busy transporting them from the 
beach to the Mayflower. Among them 
were many members of the diplomatic 
corps summering on the shore. 
The President came aboard at 1 
o'clock. A short reception followed, at 
which the President shook hands with 
all his guests; then luncheon was served 
in the cabin. At the head of the table, 
Count von Wedel of the German em- 
bassy was at the President’s right, and 
Vice-Admiral Barandon at his left. 
During the luncheon the healths of the 
President of the United States and the 
Emperor of Germany were drunk, the 
former proposed by  Vice-Admiral 
Barandon, and the latter by Commodore 
Clark. The presentation of the cups 
followed the luncheon. The President 
left the yacht Mayflower at 2.15 o’clock
