TO the occasion by the presence OF num-
Der Of distinguished guests, chief among
them being Mrs. Harrison, wife OK the
President. and Mrs. John Wanamakor.
A rnlnor that President Harrison might
also be present served, no doubt, 10 At
tract great many people. ana when inc
vessel slid of there were fully 10000 per
sons assembled in and around the great
ship-yards.
A Temporary platform was erected at the
prov Of the vessel, and on this was assem-
bled a number Of invited guests including
n large party from Washington. Mrs. Har-
rison and Mrs. Wanamaker aud party came
TO the O. ~ from Jenkinton THIS morning,
and. b,v,piing the yacht Restless at Wal
nut wharf. were conveyed 10 The snip
yard reaching there at ll:l5. Ibcy were
escorted 10 the platform, Mrs. HARRISON on
the arm of Thomas DOlan, Mrs. wanna
maker with MIR. Harris Cramp, and others
of the party, consisting mostly OF MIR.
Wanaruaker's family, following.
A chair was placed Immediately under
the PROV of the vessel, and on this Miss
Minnie Wanamaker, daughter Of the Post
master-General, who had been selected 10y
Secretary Tracy 10 Christen the new
cruiser. was seated. She held in her hand
bottle of champagne covered with gold
lace and colored ribbons.
Mrs. Harrison sat Immediately behmd
Miss Wanamaker, and was an interested
spectator of the preparations Tor huncu-
inc. The workmen were buslly engaged IN
cutting away the timbers on winch the
keel rested. and at about 1910 the saving
away OF the timbCrs which held the vessel
in place was begun.
Two minutes later il started 10 move,
and Miss Wanamaker, tho maintained her
GOODNESS 10 q remarkable degree. took o
firm hold on the neck e the bottle of WINE,
and as the prov Of the vessel Clded over
her head she struck il firm, quick blow,
exclaiming as she did 50, " chrlsten thee,
Philadelphia
The bottle was smashed to pieces and
the fluid spattered the fair christencr and
those nearest Der. Mrs. Harrison coming in
for a good share. There was not the
slightest hitch. and as the immense vessel
glided gracefully into the Delaware a great
shout went UP from the assembled thou
sands. which was answered 10y the shull
whistles of the tugs and steamers gathered
in the stream.
The Philadelphia was covered with flags
and bunting, and as she slid from the ways
into the stream her entrance caused great
stirring no of the water. The vessel went
/ ont ab0ut 100 wards and then her anchors
were dropped and she was brought 10
stand-still.
The absence of machinery or ballast
caused her TO rest very high in the water
Immediately after launching the invited
guests. including Mrs. Harrison, were es
corted 10 the office of the ship-bulldina
firm, where lunch was partaken Of.
