She has them all arranged on the tables up stairs in the eorridor, and they make a glittering array of precious metals. The presents made to the President are also among the display, and between them all the number must certainly reach 400. On one long table are arranged all the gold and si!ver souvenirs. Their value is great, and in size and variety thqy range from the superb silver salver presented to Mrs. Harrison by the San Francisco to a tiny bit of a siiver baby carriage, not muen over an inch square, but beautifully wrought in filigree work, which was intrusted to the President to present to his grandson, Benjamin McKee. In Utah the President was given the freedom of the Territory in the presentation of a s'lver map of the Territory a foot square. In San Francisco the invitation to the Palace Hotel banquet was on a thick gold card, his menu card was another gold plate, and the freedom of the city was on a superbly wrought square of gold.
