Ptolemy (Philopater) would have appreciated the Great Eastern. He was fond of building big boats. One of these is said to have been 420 feet long, 57 feet broyd and ya' feet deep from the highest point of stem. This vessel had four rudders, or what some would call steers ing oars, as they were not fastened, each 45 feet long. She carried 4000 rowers, besides 3000 marines, a large body of servants under her decks, and stores and provisions. Her onts were $7 feet long, and the handles were weighted with lead. There were 3000 rowers on a side, and It is supposed that these were divided into five banks. That this extraordinary vessel ever put to sea is doubted, but that shewas launched and used at times, if only for display, several historians are agreed.

He had made a discovery. He stumbled upon it by accident. They were making some repairs to the stage during the summer vacation, and he found in the cellar underneath it a heavy iron trap door. It was rusty; had evidently been unused for years. The fron ring by which it was lifted was rusted down to the surface of the door, so that he had to scrape the rust away and then try to pry it up with a barto get it loose. But he finally succeeded. And then it took all his patl nce and his strength to lift the door. By dint of perseverance working with the bar, first this side and then that, and at last putting the bar through the ring and pulling with all his might with both hands, te felt that be wat lifting the door. Carefully bracing himself, he gave a final wrench, and succeeded in throwing it open. The damp and musty odor that rushed out neatly overpowered him. He gazed down into a black and seemingly bottomless pit. Far, far beneath him he could bear the flowing of water, but it was with a dim, faint, uncertain sound. He picked up a stone from among the rubbish of the cellar and threw it down. He heard it strike the side occasionally, but no. final thud or splash. Slowly he closed the trop door again, strewed some rubbish over it, and came up on the stage.

Each gentleman upon entering the room is handed by an usher a small envelope containing a card inscribed with the plan of the table and beating the name of the lady he will escort.

After being received by the President and wife he examines the cards and immediately joins the lady whom he will accompany to the state dialog ball. His own lady remains with him until her escort
