As the fleet came out of the Narrows and

buildings in the lower part of tho city wore

wall and all the housetops ami other places,
from which the river could be seen, were
black with people.
As the leaders in the parade got opposite
Governor's Island, the battery in the old

The only thing that in any way marred
the brilliuncv and enjoyment of the event
wus the weather. New York awoke to lind
a steady downpour of rain ushering in the
day. A chilly northwest wl ud added
to the discoinlort und several hundred
thousand people were sadly disappointed.
There wus also greut disiipiuntrnt on
the siuadron anchored below the I'ulisud

The scene wus as pretty us well could be
imagined.
As the Dolphin's bow came in line with
each man-of-war, "pre-cnt arm." was
sounded on the bugle, and olllceisund crew
saluted; the hand struck up the uationul
air and a nalionul talute of 21 guns was
lired hv esch ship. During the time that
the presidential progress along the three
mile line lasted, this caunouuillng never
ceased until In all more than LOU) guna had
been lired. Toward the close of their boom
ing separate iixleulity hud been emerged in
one Tituntic roar, while Hushes of red flame
and dense sulphurous clouds of smoke were
all the sectutors on the shore could distin
guish. Kuglund's crack cruiser, the Hlake. and
Admiral liherurdi' flagship, the Philadel
phia, were tbe lust to be pused by the I'ol
phiu, It was Just H:ia o'clock as the Make
lired her first gun. There wu a big puff ol
smoke, and a deep boom entirely diflerent
from the sharp sounds of the guns of the
smeller vessels. 'J he Philadelphia saluted
us the Dolphin reached the head of the line
and came to a full atop in the rear of the
caravels. At the same time all the steam
boats, tugs and pleasure craft blew their
whistles and made a din iilnnxt as dealen
as the saluting. There wa cheering and
waving or huts, huiidkerchiefs und umbrel
las, and the triumphal procession of the
presideuttil party wa ended.
Following close ill the wuke nf the Dol

came the Army steamei (ieneral Meigs,

paper representatives and other iuvited
guests.
When the Dolphin reached the end of the
line, in the neighboihood of Ninety fifth
street, she dropped anchor and prepared to
receive the commanding officers of the for
eigu squadrons, who were lo be presented t
the President. Duly attired in full cere
monlul uniform, with cocked hats and
swords, the diatinquished otfluers entered
their barges and pulled olT for the presiden

and blue-eyed uiptams of th Uerman and

the most interestlnu features of Ih dav.
Fifteen minutes belore th reception end-

to laud, an admonitory signal was given
flout the Dolphin aud as ha left the vessel,
and entered hi barge, every vessel In th
fleet stain manned yards snd rails, and
one more fired a salute of 21 guns, follow
ing the Dolphin's lead. Then th Preil

and the ceremonies of th day wer cuusid
red over,
As soon as th Dolnhin nassed out from
bstwesn th anchored fleet, the, cordon was
biokeu and private steamer and yacht
cleared they obtained a magnificent flew of
the combined naval lorces at close ranee.
The flasships of Ih squadron courteously
relumed the Innumerable salute tendered
by the private steamers and their officers
seemed lo heartily appreciate the Intereat
their appearance created. Nor was the spec
tacle one which they themselves would be
likely to forget. The view they have hail
the last few days of New York's magnlll
rent harbor and of the vast concourse
J lathered to honor the event In which they
tad participated could not fail to make an
Impression.
It wa a lilting and dramatic clo to the
proceedings when, at the olne of the re
view, the flagship Philadelphia slowly
steamed opto Klverslile. tiiipo.lt the tomb
of (ieneral tirant, and on this Usy, the an
