anchored OFT the bar, 1t was raining and
foggy at the time, and he was unable to
make her out. She got under way, and at

her signal letters. All doubts about her
were dispelled, and the long-leoked- for
Iesre was reported The Stars and Stripes
were mast-headed, and the vessel was duly
saluted from the lookout tower, She passed
and going into Horseshoe bend of the lower
bay dropped her anchor abreast of the
steam yacht Radha, which was anchored
there at that time. The Isere is a bark
rugged vessel Her long funnel stands

SECOND DISPATCH1
| New YORK, June 17th--When the ar
rival of the French vessel Isere. bearing the
Bartholdi statue, was announced this morn
| ing, Monsieur Brusvaert, the French Con-
sui at Chicago, temporarily in charge of the
| Consulate-General here, and Monsieur A.
Dausseing, Chancellor to the Consulate
| General, at once started for the Battery,
where u special tug had been kept ready for
every emergency. Without waiting for
any one connected with the American COM
mittee, the French Consul and Chancellor
started off down the bay to the anchorage
! ground of the Isere The tug which had
| been engaged was very fast one, and
reached the French vessel about 1870, when
the commander of the latter received his
country'S representatives with the honorS
due the honorable stations filled by them.
AT 10 o'clock the steamer William Fletcher,
which had been moored at Castle Garden
got ready to start down to the lower bay.
On board were General Stone, of the Amer
lean committee, President Sanger of the
| Board of Aldermen, L. De Behian, of the
French steamship line, and a few other
gentlemen connected with the American
committee. After having waited for a
short time III expectation of the arrival of
others, the William Fletcher steamed down
to the lower bay. The French flag was
hoisted to the top of the flag poles in honor
| of the country whose vessel was about to
be visited. Upon reaching the lower bay
the Fletcher drew up alongside of the
| lSere and the American representatives
boarded the French vessel, where they
were received by the commander and his
officers, as well as by the Consul of France.
The French frigate Laftore is expected to
arrive here this afternoon. She will anchor
near the Isere, and an interchange of
| courtesies will take place between the
officers of the vessels. This frigate is to
take a very prominent part i'll the naval
parade, and the American committee feel
some anxiety in relation to her arrival. 1t
is worthy OF comment that French officials
were the first to welcome the vessel bear
ing the gift of France, the American repre-
sentatives being late to board the steamer
in waiting for them. 1t is now expected
| that the civic festivities and naval parade
will be held Saturday. 1t is thought on
the Exchange to be an appropriate time, as
most of the business houses are closed on
| Saturday afternoon. General Stone said it
would be impossible to hold the parade be
fore Friday. He is predisposed in favor of
Saturday being selected. Nothing can be
determined upon until consultation has
been held by the American committee with
the officers of the Isere and Laftore. The
arrival of the latter is very essential to the
success of the naval parade
