With him were 25 men from each of the other ships at anchor in the harlior, good fellow* all, and selected on that account. These figures included about HI per cent of the murines, permitted to lie present on account of past good fellow-chip and on solemn promise lo be good in the future. The sailors and sea soldiers came to tlie Waldorf-Astoria singly and in twos, threes and larger groups, and weie at r.nee ushered to the grand ball room on tlie second floor, whicli hud been carpeted for them and set with table* and gilded chairs.
