and tba reception ot tho North Atlantic Bqaadron last fall, all pale betore this gi¬ gantic ovation to ths sailor who. In a single morning destroyed an enemy's fleet with, out the losa o( a man or a ship. It Is not beyond tba mark to say that 9,000,000 peo- )le viowod tho pagnnnt from ashore, aud
hat a quarter of a million wereafloat.
For a marina show thero could not bava beeo flner weather. Tha day dawne.t bright, and a l.rl.k hreete blew all day long. Clouds acarrle.1 orer the aky, and one of these brought a alight ahovar. Just after tha parade started, and aa Admlal Dowey'a flagship awept up paat the Battery a brilliant ralunow spanned tha North River trom shora to ahore. Thousands saw the refulgent spectacle In the sky, de- clared It was "Dowey luck," and rajclced that the Admiral wns sailing to the groat review II.erally beneath a rainbow of promise.
Two o'clock was Ihe time set for tba start, bnt by eleven tho great fleet of ex¬ cursion boats ha.l dropped away from North and East River piers, and were ool- lected around tha grim warships tbat rode at anobor olf Tompklnsvllle, Aboard tho Olympla It bad been a busy morning, Qulteearly the city representatives, beaded by Mayor Van Wyck, Journeyed to Tomp¬ klnsvllle on the 'Handy Uook, and th* of¬ floial oall was made on tho Admiral,
Mayor Van Wyck stepped aboard the war veaael juat aa six bella were aoundlog. It was 11 o'clock. Tbe Admiral grasped tho Mayor's band with bolh of his. After leaving the quarter deck tbe parly, rein¬ forced by Captain Lumberton. Lieutenant Brumby. Enslitu Caldwell an.l ..ther offl- cers ot the Olympla, went to tba Admiral's eabln.
Tbe Admiral nervously twlsto.l a baod- karchief In bts hand as thn Mayor spoke:
"Admiral Dewey, with pleasure, aud by direction ot the city of New York, I meet you at hor magulflcant gateway, to extaud to you, in hor name and of har million visitors, leading cltUens of forty-ftve Slates, representing almost erery hamlet In tbe nation, a moat cordial welcome. coDgratulatIng you upon being restored to family and home,
"A loving and grateful nation Is glad.
you that woa ever tendered military or olvll horo. Such on outpouring ol the peo¬ ple wna nover dreamed of bofore. Never baa the heart of America turned with such parfoct accord and trusting confldenco lo ona of her sona aalt does to yon. I place at your disposal the freedom and unlimited hospitality of tho citv of New York." Tlio Admiral replied lothe Moyor: "Mr. Mnyor and Genllom.n: 0( course It would 1)0 noodlosa for mo lo attempt to mako a speech, but my heart op- prcclates all that yon hnvo suid. How it is that you havo overrated my wurk su much I cannot uuderstnnd. It Is beyond any. thing I can coooolve of why there should bo such nn uprising of tha couniry. I sim¬ ply did what any other nnval oflicer lu tho service woutd havo done, I bellove,"
Aftor tho Mnyor had boon aboard the flagship about twenty minutes ho and his pnrty, wllh Admlrul Dewey, took tho Ad¬ miral's launch and sleaiiied over to the Sandy Honk, Tho Admiral boarded tho Knudy Hook at 11.20 n. in,, nnd whon he returned to the flagship thn great fleet of xcutslon boats let their sirens and steam rhistles loose. J
Immedlnteiy after Admiral Dowey -»^- turued from the Handy Hook, the wigwag, ger on tho bridge signaled tha fleet to pre. pure to got uuder way, Au old iiuartor. master hurried a small dark roll of bunting to tho main, hand over flsl. It hung thoro while Ihe bugle sounded the cnll to quar¬ ters, nnd the marines mustered aft, Ibnn, just as the signal lo weigh anchor was given, a pull on tho halyards opened tho roll and spread thofourstarred flag, which Furragul flow ns ho ran the fori In Now Or. lonns.

Thn ships slowly sailed up tha Hudson, the entire fleet being grouped In a most Icturos.iuo position.

fho fleet then anchored nnd reviewed tho almost endlesi procession of craft that steamed past, aiiso burdened with human¬ ity that they looked as If thoy would -turn turtle" before they got back lo tbelr nlers. Toward the end tho parade became disor. ganlzed, and It took hours for tho liot- orogonous flotilla to get by. There waa a daxzlinE illumination at night ot tbn harbor, th* cltv and the ahorea ot the Hud- son the Eaat River and Now York Bny. Tho Illumination was carried oul on n scale which. It la aald, had never previously been attempted In thla country.
As Admiral Dewoy conquered afloat on
Wildes, Cogblan, D}-cr, Lamharlon, Walk¬ er and Wood—who were grouped nbout him, said with n wavo nf bin hand:
"Theso am the men that did It. Wlllinut ¦ hem I coul.I not havo doue what 1 did."
A f iw moments after tho Admiral's party had lolt tho Clly Hall ovor two thousand school chlldron marched In front of the re¬ viewing stnnd in a column nf (ours, all dressed in patriotic colors nnd nil carrying flags, Thoy bnd como too Into, but they wnre not tn Iio deprived ol an opportunity to alnit their welcoming songs. They climbed Inlo Hin big amply stands and for twenty minutes fllled tbo sir wllh melody.

It was oinclly U.20 o'clock when the grand parade sturlod. At tts head marched a baltallou of 250 sailors and marines from the Olympla. Ia the rear of their column thoy curried along ouo of tho rapid.flre gnus from the flghllng tops of ono mnst.

It was a grand sight Ht uuy point, nn.l tho unnrnied veternns that brought up tho rear received almost as much of an ovntlon ns did the flghting suitors at tbn lieii.l n( tho Ilne.
The Aduilrnl-s progress (rom tho tonili of Grant to the reviewing stand was liter¬ ally ouo of glorious triumph. He rode near the liesd of thn procession wllh Mayor Van Wyck.

In a single morning destroyed an enemy's fleet with, out the losa o( a man or a ship. It Is not beyond tba mark to say that 9,000,000 peo- )le viowod tho pagnnnt from ashore, aud hat a quarter of a million wereafloat. For a marina show thero could not bava beeo flner weather. Tha day dawne.t bright, and a l.rl.k hreete blew all day long. Clouds acarrle.1 orer the aky, and one of these brought a alight ahovar. Just after tha parade started, and aa Admlal Dowey'a flagship awept up paat the Battery a brilliant ralunow spanned tha North River trom shora to ahore. Thousands saw the refulgent spectacle In the sky, de- clared It was "Dowey luck" and rajclced that the Admiral wns sailing to the groat review II.erally beneath a rainbow of promise. Two o'clock was Ihe time set for tba start, bnt by eleven tho great fleet of ex¬ cursion boats ha.l dropped away from North and East River piers, and were ool- lected around tha grim warships tbat rode at anobor olf Tompklnsvllle, Aboard tho Olympla It bad been a busy morning, Qulteearly the city representatives, beaded by Mayor Van Wyck, Journeyed to Tomp¬ klnsvllle on the 'Handy Uook, and th* of¬ floial oall was made on tho Admiral, Mayor Van Wyck stepped aboard the war veaael juat aa six bella were aoundlog.

I place at your disposal the freedom and unlimited hospitality of tho citv of New York." Tlio Admiral replied lothe Moyor: "Mr. Mnyor and Genllom.n: 0( course It would 1)0 noodlosa for mo lo attempt to mako a speech, but my heart op- prcclates all that yon hnvo suid. How it is that you havo overrated my wurk su much I cannot uuderstnnd. It Is beyond any. thing I can coooolve of why there should bo such nn uprising of tha couniry. I sim¬ ply did what any other nnval oflicer lu tho service woutd havo done, I bellove" Aftor tho Mnyor had boon aboard the flagship about twenty minutes ho and his pnrty, wllh Admlrul Dewey, took tho Ad¬ miral's launch and sleaiiied over to the Sandy Honk, Tho Admiral boarded tho Knudy Hook at 11.20 n. in,, nnd whon he returned to the flagship thn great fleet of xcutslon boats let their sirens and steam rhistles loose. J Immedlnteiy after Admiral Dowey -»^- turued from the Handy Hook, the wigwag, ger on tho bridge signaled tha fleet to pre. pure to got uuder way, Au old iiuartor. master hurried a small dark roll of bunting to tho main, hand over flsl. It hung thoro while Ihe bugle sounded the cnll to quar¬ ters, nnd the marines mustered aft, Ibnn, just as the signal lo weigh anchor was given, a pull on tho halyards opened tho roll and spread thofourstarred flag, which Furragul flow ns ho ran the fori In Now Or. lonns.

It Is oBiImatnd that thoro wore over u thousand ships In tho parade, Thn ships slowly sailed up tha Hudson, the entire fleet being grouped In a most Icturos.iuo position. Bolh shores worot Inad with dense masses of people, and saluting batteri.ia worn on nearly ovnry wharf end. Steam whlsllns added lo tho din but aliovn all camo the tremendous crashing music of Hi" cuiinrs.

Toward the end tho parade became disor. ganlzed, and It took hours for tho liot- orogonous flotilla to get by. There waa a daxzlinE illumination at night ot tbn harbor, th* cltv and the ahorea ot the Hud- son the Eaat River and Now York Bny. Tho Illumination was carried oul on n scale which. It la aald, had never previously been attempted In thla country. As Admiral Dewoy conquered afloat on Wildes, Cogblan, D}-cr, Lamharlon, Walk¬ er and Wood—who were grouped nbout him, said with n wavo nf bin hand: "Theso am the men that did It. Wlllinut ¦ hem I coul.I not havo doue what 1 did." A f iw moments after tho Admiral's party had lolt tho Clly Hall ovor two thousand school chlldron marched In front of the re¬ viewing stnnd in a column nf (ours, all dressed in patriotic colors nnd nil carrying flags, Thoy bnd como too Into, but they wnre not tn Iio deprived ol an opportunity to alnit their welcoming songs.

It was oinclly U.20 o'clock when the grand parade sturlod. At tts head marched a baltallou of 250 sailors and marines from the Olympla. Ia the rear of their column thoy curried along ouo of tho rapid.flre gnus from the flghllng tops of ono mnst.
