NEW YORK, July 8th- Mr. J. D. Rockefeller celebrated his eighty-ninth birthday to-day at hir estate, Ryt Uit, Pocactico Hills, a suburb of New York, with his children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren.
Numerous congratulations have poured in from all parts of the world,
"I am in the best of health," said Mr. Rockefeller this morning. "I never keep to any set routine -never look at the clock when I' am going to bed or getting up. I find that this adds much, to my repose. I am deeply touched by the utmost kindness receive everywhere I go. I give my grati tude to every one.**

Endless pains have been taken to get every detail as accurate as pes sible, and the King was highly ap preciative of the work, especially to James Caird, whose generosity bas made the old ship's restoration possible.
Unsolved Problems. "Trafalgar," be said, "was the greatest naval victory, Nelson the greatest admiral, and Victory is the greatest ship in history," when thanking Sir James. He was in formed, in reply to a question, that the ship might be expected to last 300 years in its present state.
There are still a few unsolved problems, and one of these is the position of the fore lower studding- sail booms. As things are at pre- sent they would foul the sheet”an- chor. Problems, such as these, and whether the wheel ropes should be of hemp or hide, absorbed the atten tion and interest of several naval officers, especially older ones, re- red, whose hearts rejoiced at the smell of tar and hemp.
