Harrison, - commandant of the army post, and Mrs. Horry, wife of Rear Admiral R. M. Merry---" ; The social sets of Norfolk, Rich mond, Baltimore, Washington, and otner eastern cities were largely rep resented in the spectacular gather ing. Several naval attaches from the foreign embassies and legations at Washington, have arrived hero to at tend the social events and to witness tho manoouvers attending the de parture of the fleet. The report that no Japanese wcA" to be allowed to accompany the ships as servants has been confirmed. Almost every launch arriving at. tin; point pier yesterday carried a Jap anese servant, his bag and baggage. They have been ordered oft the ships of the fleet by Admiral Evans be cause they were not content to be merely servants, but insisted on tak ing notes of everything they heard or -. saw. , A Jap Caught Spying. Tho Japanese servant of tho cap tain of the battleship Ohio was de tected two days ago when taking notes of tho new system or gun con trol and other recent installations. The chief gunner of tho Ohio caught him at it, took his notes away, and did his earnest best to kick tho Jap anese over the side into tho sea. Officers interfered, however, and saved his lifo. Under the rules laid down by the present secretary of the navy the en listment In the navy of persona not citizens of the UnfVod States Is strongly forbidden, and for this rea son none of the Japanese can be re enllsted and all aliens are thus to be eventually eliminated from tho en- The officers of Fort Monroe will tender the navy a reception this af ternoon and a return ball will be given aboard the flagship Connecti cut. There-will also be dancing ii hoard most of the other vessels. President Roosevelt has been for mally notified that the Atlantic fleet assembled In Hampton Roads Is In readiness to proceed on Its cruise to the Pacific coast. The notification was made by Assistant Secretary Newberry, who called at the White House for that purpose. LAST DAY OF THE BICYCLE ME New York, Dec. 14. "Put" Logan, of the Intcmtato. team in-the six d ly nice at .Madison Square Garden, dropped , unconscious to the -'track to day from sheer exhaustion after five days of terrible, ceaseless grind. The racer was picked up by Dr. Creamer and .his trainer and revived 'after lie had been 'carried to his quar ters. When lie came to his senses h;j was delirious and raved like a mad man. He had to be held in his bed and giyun drugs to quiet him. . .Tho; physician at last was , able to bring Logan to his; senses, but no sooner was the racer somewhat recov ered than his partner, Walter .Hard-' gott, who had been taken out of bed to take the exhausted rjdci-'s place on the track, gave out and had to be car ried back to the training quarters. When .Logan saw Hardgett brought into the trauiing quarters, he at first turned his face to the wall and refused to get up. He cried like a baby, say ing lie was completely worn out and could not move a muscle. His trainer reasoned with him, begged him not to give tip.. the race and at hist Logan, with a supreme effort, pulled himself together and was helped back to the track. ' When the crowd in the garden saw Logan coming out of the training quanr-rs it got on Its feet and lot nut a wild cheer. The shouts and applause seemed to hearten Logan. lie raised his head and walked unsupported to where his wheel was being held ready for him. As the plucky Boston boy started to mount his wheel there was another great cheer from the crowd. Setting his feet on the pedals once more sccm- d to give Logan renewed courage and he started out with a. 'little spurt to catch tho riders, who were some fifty yards ahead .of him Morning Score at 10 O'clock. At 10 o'clock the score in the bicy cle race was as follows: Fogler and Moran. 2.0W.5 nilles, B laps; Oeorgett and Dupre. 2.08.".ii; Gal vln and Wiley.

It will be an old familiar face In a new dihctiisc. This time It Is suggested that congress pass an amendment to the mail subvention ait of 1891 so as to increase the rate to bo allowed to sixteen-knot ships from $2 a mile to $4 a mile. The form the legislation will take at this session Is that recommended by President Roosevelt In his annual message. The preslditit called at tention to the fact that tho Ameri can flag was becoming scarce onthe high seas; that the law of last win ter had not resulted ii stimulating shipbuilding; that shls were drop ping off the routes to the Far East from' San Francisco and Seattle, that there were no lines to Samoa or to Australia and thnt mow ships could be put on and new lines established If the mall subventions of 1891 for slxteen-knot? ships on the Pacific could be raised from two to four doli.nrs.

The Record of American and For eign Shipping describes only onoj ship named, Lawson, that being the! seven-masted schooner, the Thomas! W. Lawson, tho largest sailing "ves-j sel afloat. Tiie vessel was built 'in 1902, at Quincy. Mass., by the Fore River Ship and Engine Building Company. Tho last report shows that J. G. Crowley, the managing owner, was captain of the vessel. The last survey of the vessel was made- shortly after she 'was launched In 1902. The Lawson was of 5,2 IS tons register. -3 "5 feet in length, 50 feet beam and had a depth of 22 feet and 9 inches. Her seven masts made her one of the most -'picturesque ships of the seas. About a year after the Lawson was launched sho was driven ashore in a gale off Martha's .Vineyard and then sustained considerable damage. This fact led mariners to believe that the seven master would be a difi - lit vessel to manage In a fierce ; storm, as had been anticipated. She car ried too much sail.
