New YORK, Aug. 10.-The friends
and admirers of Mr.. Blaine, who had
spent two days down the bay waiting
for his arrival on the City of New York,
were delighted to learn this morning
that the vessel at last was here. Many
of them had made arrangements to have
kilograms sent to their houses the mo-
ment the steamer was sighted, and
these were aroused in the middle OF the
night to receive the news. Others, who
arose at daybreak, found the same
news in the morning papers. 1t had
been announced that the steamer char
tered to convey the Republican club of
New York and their many invited
guests, representing nearly every state
in the Union, would start promptly at Z
O'Clock down the bay to welcome MIR.
Blaine. From $50 O'clock till a steady
stream of people flowed down CORTLAND
street to Pier Is, where the steamer
Laura NJ. Starin, instead of the Sam
Sloan, was waiting to receive them.
They consisted mainly of the same men
who had sailed down on the Sloan on
the two preceding days. Nearly every
coat was decorated with badge; from
many of the breaSt-pockets tluttered the
ends of red, white and blue handker-
chiefs, and in uumberleSS hatbandS were
pinned
SMALL WHITE PLUMEs.
Among the 800 or 900 passengers on
the Starin were: Walker Blaine, James
G.. Blaine, Jr.. and Mrs. James G.
Blaine, Jr., Mrs. Carson Lake, Mrs. A.
l.. COnger Mrs. Ralph Trautman.

OF Albany. COpp'S SeVenIn regiment
band was on board and struck up an
enlivening strain as the Starin started
off from the pier at 7:1O o'clock. Good
speed was made down to quarantine,
where many expected to find the City
of New York waiting them. But on
arriving there it was learned that the
low tide still kept the vessel outside the
bar. DR.. Smith, the health officer of
the port, boarded the Starin at quaran-
tine. Deputy Surveyor Nichols, Staff
Officer Mccoy. and Inspector O'Connel,
of the custom house. were already on
board, ready to pass MIR. Blaine's bag
gage and have it transferred without
delay to the Starin. Just as the Starin
was leaving quarantine,
CARRIER PIGEON WAS SENT OFF
with the first message OF the day for
the press.
