By WILLIAM HOSTER. Staff Corrc.pondsnt on Board the St.am.r Deutachland. By Wir«le,a Telegraph. On Board Steamahlp Deutschland, at Bea, June 2, via Babylon. L. I., June 2. -John D. Rockefeller arose early to day, and. after a bath, rub down and a cup of coffee, hastened to the de- "erted promenade deck. With power ful glaiu,, he scanned the horlion. "Are we still lending the Provence?" he asked, entering democratically Into a conversation with a seaman. The assurance that the French liner re mained far astern pleased him mighti ly. The race has been a matter of unconcealed Interest to him. Mr. Rockefeller Insisted upon being >aken to the engine room. He, how ever, waved aside a courteous aaala- >ant engineer, who started to describe the working of the machinery- "This Is not my first sea trip,” he »ald. "f was told all these things be fore.” He Amszes Passengers. Mr. Rockefeller, accompanied at dif ferent times by various members of hl» party, and always by Ms secretary, spent a busy first day at sea. sight seeing aboard the giant steamship. His amazement and delight were al most childlike. He was like a school hoy on the first day of a long-await ed vacation. Passengers were amazed by his ge niality. They did not expect that a man who had amassed a billion dol lars by the hardest and sharpest of business practice would prove, on ac quaintance, so unaffected and ingen uous. He sat up late Thursday night, disregarding the protests of Mrs. Bockefellsr snd' Miss Spellman, her sister. Dr. Blggar added his dlsap- clared his Intention to sit up on deck and watch the race. After some dis cussion, a compromise was reached, Mr. Rockefeller consenting to envelop himself In an overcoat. Clapa Hands in Dalight. When the Deutschland had over taken LaProvence, he clapped his hands and laughed aloud. Then he retired. He probably was the earliest passenger on deck Friday morning. Dawn scarcely had broken when he arose. Mr. Rockefeller was Informed that Miss Helen Oould, of New York, was a passenger on the Deutschland. Ths fact seemed to Interest him. particu larly when he learned that Miss (}ould had booked her passage under an as sumed name. It Is the consensus of opinion that she Is en route to Paris to bring back to America her sister, Anna, the Countess DeCasteltane. Miss Oould Is uncommunlcatlv# to the few persons with whom she has con versed, and can not be approached for purposes of an Interview. He Praises Chtsse. Some good-natured discussion arose at dinner last evening, when Mr. Rockefeller ordered cheese. In re sponse to « fellow-passenger's ques tion, he reiterated his frequently ex pressed views as to the health-giving qualities of this, his favorite article of diet. He la as loyal to cheese on sea as on land. It was evident this morning, when Mr. Rockefeller made his customary early appearance on deck, that the voyage Is proving beneficial to him. There Is a healthy color In his cheeks, and a sparkle In his eyes, telling more eloquently than words that he Is not a sick man. and Is enjoying every minute of the trip. At the Casino Nsxt Wsek. Vaudeville, In a new and delightful faxhlon, will be the offering at the Ca sino next week. The class of vaudeville offered since the opening of the season has been satisfactory. It is said the bill for next week will eclipse any Impression the acts have yet made for this class of entertainment. The feature of the bill will be the military octet nnd the Oirl Behind the Baton. There Is no doubt but that this number Is really one of the big specta cle features of vaudeville. There are twelve people In the number. They are musicians, vocalists and novelty entertainers. The act will be offered In three scenes, showing the camps of all nations, and permitting special ties by several of the members. This act Is booked for a solid year, and later will appear for return engage ments In the high-class vaudeville houses of the new Kelth-Proctor com bination A great deal of scenery Is carried by the combination, and It Is believed the novelty will be one of tne features of the Casino season. Another novelty will be the v^ntrlbu- ■ tlon of the famous European artist, i Axra. who has but lately come to ; America.
