will surprise the German-Americans of th country when they learn that the Kaiser ha Intimated his desire for as little as possible of Ger-an-Americanism to the reception of FrWe Henry.1 The Kaiser desires that whatever ia don in war of entertain ing his brother be done by Americans rather than by any distinctive clasa particularly that Prince Heliry rha.ll not be taken la tow and topnopollzed by any German-American societies during bl stay here. Vhe German Embassy and the State Department are aware of, tho Kaiser's wUhti and will do mil they can to carry them out. -The Kalaer'a nostttcn in the matter Is favorably commented upon.

There is no greater contrast than is afforded by a comparison of the Interior of the new Meteor with that of such yachts as Shamrock II. or the Columbia- The ninety-foot stoops cannot, afford even sleeping accommodations for their own crews, and are absolutely worthless- for cruising purposes. The new schooner, on the other hand, while expected to be able to defeat these sloops under certain circumstances, nas ample accommodation for her crew, wtih unrivaled accommodation for the owner" and bis friends.

The cabin arrangements aro most eomfortable. and the yacht could go on a long cruise alone with full crew and a number of guests, which Is the severest teat that a yacht with any pretentions to speed can be put to. OwlDg to the greater facility with which a schooner can be handled, the new yacht will not require as large a crew as the ninety-foot sloops, and she will be thus more economical to keep In commission, as well as safer in a sudden blow. The great breadth of beam of the new yacht will afford the fullest comfort In deck room. The superficial area of her deck compares favorably with that of the largest steam -yachts in Mew York Harbor.

With awnings set and curtains at the side, there will be sufficient room to give a ball on deck- No attempt has been made at display In the interior arrangements of the new yacht. Upon the contrary, the explicit directions of the Emperor, who has taken the keenest personal Interest In her progress, were that everything was to be plain and substantial.
