DINNER TO ROOSEVELT.
Elaborate Menu Designed as Souvenir For Farewell on Hamburg.
A farewell dinner to ex-President Roosevelt was given on the Hamburg on the evening before the ship recently reached Naples. The menu card was specially designed as a souvenir. On the front cover is a portrait of Mr. Roosevelt, with his signature in facsimile. The third cover contains two designs symbolic of Africa, one showing a crouching lion and the other a native with drawn bow. The first inside page contains, as a frontispiece, a reproduction of the steamer Hamburg leaving New York. The outer cover shows a new photograph of the former president, with his autograph and the monogram of the line. The title page, printed in gold, shows the head of a hippopotamus just above the water, with open jaws.
The next page contains the menu, printed in German and English.
On another page is a sextet welcoming Colonel Roosevelt to Africa. Stretched across that continent are a hippo, a giraffe, a lion, a gorilla and an elephant, all in evening clothes, singing "Waiting For You."
Across the bottom of both pages is a row of prancing Teddy bears.
