THE CUBA REVIEW 11 Smith, Commander of the Havana Camp of the Spanish War Veterans, and members of the Post, President L. E. Brownson of the American Club and many other prominent residents of the city. Bank Officials Tour Island: Officials of the National City Bank of New York, headed by the President, Mr. Charles E. Mitchell, and visiting officials of the Royal Bank of Canada from Montreal, visited Havana and made extensive trips through the Island during the past week. Both of these institutions have large sugar plantation holdings throughout the Island. Amateur Players Perform for Hospital Benefit: "Nothing but the Truth," a three-act farce comedy, was recently played by the British Amateur Society for the Benefit of the Anglo-Saxon Hospital. The play, which was enacted in the beautiful hall of the "Sociedad de Propietarios del Vedado," was a success in every way, and it was necessary to repeat the performance for the benefit of those unable to gain admis- sion the first night. Receipts received netted more than two thousand dollars for the Hospital. General Crowder Takes Oath as Ambassador: A quiet but impressive ceremony marked the administration of the oath of office to General Enoch H. Crowder, the first Ambassador to Cuba from the United States Government. Carnival Festivities Attract Gay Throngs: The annual Carnival season opened on Sunday the 11th with a gorgeous display of decorated floats and gayly bedecked automobiles and carriages. The Queen of the Carnival, elected from among a number of beautiful working girls, was the recipient of numerous gifts. The Carnival parades, which have always been one of the most interesting sights for tourists visiting Havana, were this year, so it is claimed, better than ever before. Large Tourist Parties Visit Cuba: Several large touring parties have visited Havana the past few weeks, all of whom have been reported as saying that they wished they had been allowed a longer time in Havana. Among the larger steamers which have been in port are: S.S. "Resolute," S.S. "Reliance," S.S. "Empress of France," S.S. "Megantic," S.S. "Vandyke."
