Every one of the excursion craft, ev- ery private yacht, every tug and lighter will make its showing, more or less brilliant in the white lights of the elec- tric lamp. Ané& on the private yachts especially the illumination will be dec- orative, with flag designs in red, white and blue lamps, and messages of wel- come in large letters strung between the masts. ; The ferry companies’ slips and the steamship and railroad piers along the East river will be lighted, and their electric designs will be varied, accord- ing to the taste of their designers and the plans of the chief engineers. On the North river, where the larger railroad and steamship lines have their termi- nals, the display will be even more bril- liant. The Pennsylvania railroad was the first to submit a plan of its illumi- nation of the Jersey City terminal to the committee. On the great train sheds facing the water will be the words ‘““Welcome, Dewey,’”’ in enormous let- ters of electric lamps, with the facade of the station picked out in electricity. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad also has reported its plans to the committee. They were de- signed by Paul H. Brangs, the com- pany’s chief electrician, and they show an elaborate display. All the other railroad companies have made plans as elaborate and complete as these two. Private and corporate owners of pierson both rivers have been seen individually and have given their plans confidentially to General Howard Carroll, who is chairman of a subcom- mittee on river and harbor decorations, and the promise of a continuous blaze of electric light for miles along each bank of the two rivers may be expected confidently to be fulfilled.

Staff, which glistens whiter than any marble and looks just as substan- tial as granite, will be used. A double line of ornate columns ex- tending on either side of the arch will make a magnificent and imposing ap- proach to the stately pile. The arch is to be adorned with sculp- ture symbolizing tho power of the United States as a maritime nation. The main idea of the sculptural adorn- ment will be to have the four great piers one continuous series, personify- ing the four subjects of: : Patriotism (or the call to arms), war (the fight), the return (the victors re- turning to their native land), peace (the volunteers again taking up their peace- ful occupations). These subjects are being treated in an allegorical way. with realistic groups in the immedi- ate foreground. Above these, act- ing as finials to the four col- umns, on each side of the great group, will be portrait figures of admirals and representatives of the navy, such as Paul Jones, Decatur, Perry, Farragut, Foote, Hull, McDon- ough, Cushing and Porter. Each of these pieces will be 12 feet high. There will be medallions of other naval he- roes. The four span- drels over the main entrance will be filled with figures sym- bolizing the At- lantic ocean and Pacific ocean on one side and the North river and East river on the other, thus em- phasizing New York’s position as the most im- portant commercial city of the country The keystone of the arch on either side will be surmounted by a great eagle. The apex of the arch will be sur- mounted by a quadriga of sea horses, drawing a ship at whose prow, with uplifted wings, will stand a triumphal figure suggestive of victory. Thisquad- riga is being made by J. Q. A. Ward, president of the National Sculpture society. Other noted sculptors have various parts of the work in hand. ONE OF THE COLUMNS. In addition to this grana arch two ‘arge columns will be erected in Mon- sague terrace. Brooklyn. This site is on the heights above Wall street ferry terminal, and the columns, which will be 150 feet high, can be seen from all parts of the harbor. bus the moet prominent feature of the decorations will be the electrical welcome which will blaze out on Brook- lyn bridge. The words ‘‘Welcome, Dewey,” will shine in letters 86 feet high, and when first lighted, Thursday night, the returning admiral can easily read them from the deck of the Olympia even should he decide to anchor ten miles outside of Sandy Hook. The legend will be 800 feet long, and more than 8,000 electric lamps of high candle power will be used to form this mideir signal of welcome to the ad- miral. The device will be strung on the central part of the span between the towers and above the railroad tracks, so that it can be seen and read up and down the East river as well as for miles down the bay. 5 : The lights forming the letters will be pure white, and at each end of the de- sign will be appropriate embellish- ments. The reflected light from this display, which Warren W. Foster, sec- retary of the committee, says will be the greatest display of electrical illu- mination the world ‘ever has seen, can be seen in every direction within 50 miles. The bridge will be decorated by day with bunting and flags its entire length, | but its greatest glory will be seen by night. In addition to the great central illumination there will be many other lights, and from the towews four great searchlights will play their piercing rays in every direction. The legend which the big bridge is to bear will be repeated dozens of times, in letters from 5 to 20 feet high, all along the water fronts of the two rivers. All the steamship companies, big and little, from the ocean liners to the craft that ply between ports on the sound and the Hudson, have made prepara- tions for illuminating their ships to an extent never before dreamed of except by the practical men whose life study is the possibilities of electricity. The effect of these on the water at night will be on a large scale what the illuminated trolley cars show when they dash through the dimly lighted suburbs like blazing meteors. Every ship that carries one or more search- lights will go down the bay on Thurs- day night and focus the brilliant rays of the lamps on the deck of Dewey's ship. Electricity, which will play so prom- inent & part in the public and private decoration and illamination of the city and the water, will have its first innings on that Thursday night. Never before probably have been seen so many craft blazing with lights from stem to stern a8 will take a cruise down the bay that The New York City Hall park and the hall itself, as well as the borough hall in Brooklyn, will be illuminated under the direction of the subcommittee of which Lewis Nixon is chairman. Mr. Nixon has received a design from the Edison Electric company calling for the greatest illumination that old City Hall park ever has seen. Strings of electric £) THE ADMIRAL’S LAUNCH. lamps are to be festooned among the trees, across the walks, around the foun- tain and everywhere that there is a peg or a branch to hang a lamp upon. These lights will be cclored as well as white, and the big arc lights which will be hung in arches at a greater height also will chow a variety of colors. The park will look like the scene of a be in New York to welcome the aa- miral. It is estimated that no less than 3,000,000 visitors will swoop down on New York during the two Dewey days. This will be an unprecedented incur- sion, even for the metropolis. The citics and towrs within 100 miles of Gotham will empty a large portion of their people into the metrop- olis by day excursions. while from & BROOKLYN'S TRIUMPHAL COLUMNS. greater distances will come thousands of others. Even in the far west Dewey clubs are being formed. These clubs are made up of people who are bouna to be in New York. when Dewey gets there. Agents are sent ahead to arrange for accommodations. and special trains are to be chartered. ; The New Yorkers think the big crowd can be accommodated sor:ehow or oth- er. During the Columbian celebration i of several years ago New York took care of at least 1,000.000 visitors. and since then her facilities have been greatly in- creased. During the Columbian celebration the New York hotel men worked to- gether and handled the emergency with- out difficulty. Weeks before the event they had. through advertisements, com- piled a list of householders in the vicin- ities close to the various hotels who wished to rent rcoms without board, and they communicated with these householders. Then, to save hotel clerks the bother of looking after outside details, they opened a central bureau in Union square, where persons crowded out of the hotels were sent and quarters se- lected for them according to their ideas of economy and convenience. The same plan is to be carried out at the Dewey celebration. It is the opin- ion of James H. Breslin that if 1,000,- 000 persons have to remain in New York overnight during the Dewey fes- tivities New York can take care of them. There would necessarily be a good deal of ‘‘doublinz up.'' but Mr. PLAN FOR DECORATING BROOKLYN BRIDGE. garden party or a lawn festival on an immense scale. The hall itself will be ablaze with lights, which will show its decorations of flags and bunting by night as well as by day. Similar illu- minations are projected for the borough hall in Brooklyn. It is impossible to tell all the wonders that will be accomplished in the way of electrical illumination by private in- dividuals. Every electrician in the city is working on plans for one or more buildings, and all the electrical shops are crowded with orders, which must be turned out before Dewey day. On land there will be a daylight dis- play which has never been equaled in New York or any other city. The great metropolis will be fairly swathed in red, white and blue bunting. From ev- ery point where a staff can be stuck out a flag will be flung to the breeze. Each of the big mercantile houses is planning its own scheme of decoration, and the smaller ones as well. People who visited New York soon after the battle of San- tiago were astonished at the lavish dis- play of bunting, but this display is to be eclipsed when Dewey comes home. A word as to the crowds which will Breslin thinks the city hotels, re-en- forced Ly apartment houses and board- ing houses that would be temporarily pressed into service under hotel general- ship, could handle such a multitude. It must be remembered that every day in the year 100,000 people arrive in and leave New York without creating a ruffle on the surface of things. But the visitor to Gotham must ex- pect to be somewhat crowded on the Dewey days. He must not look for elbow room on the streets and must be prepared to hang on to cable cars by his eyelids. He will see sights worth looking at, however, and when he finds himself in the center of acres of densely packed humanity two blocks from the line of parade he may console himself by the reflection that he is doing his part toward making Dewey’s welcome home the most impressive spectacle with which the nation has ever hon- ored one of its citizens.
