merce paid tribute during the day to the
memory of Columbus. The vast busi-
ness of the second seaport Of the world
was practically suspended, and more
than three hundred steamers and tug
boats, the smallest of them larger than
the 75-ton Santa Maria, the 50-ton Pinta
or the Acton Nina, in which the great
discoverer and his companions made
their adventurous voyage, dropped their
ordinary avocations, and formed in
majestic holiday parade to do him
honor. If New York has registered
silent VOW to show the world what it
could have done if the worlds Column
blan fair had been permitted to be held
here-as the extraordinary enthusiasm
and energy which all classes of the COM
munity have thrown into this weeks
Columbian celebration suggests-New
York has thoroughly succeeded in car
rying out its purpose.
With every favoring condition of skies
and weather, with the crisp, clear air
of the early fall bringing out in sharp
outline every object on the dancing
waters and along the shores of New
York's matchless bay and harbor
the naval pageant was spectacle to be
Once Seen and Always Remembered.
Not even the famous roadstead of Spit
head-England's great naval reviewing
ground-withssll its surrounding pano-
rama of beautiful scenery, could sur
pass it. From the green heights of
Fort Wadsworth, on the western shore,
at the entrance to the Narrows, east
ward to the shoals of Rockaway and the
sandy reaches of the Hook, southwark
to the highlands of the Naversink and
northward to the dim blue outlines of
the Palisades and the grassy slopes of
Riverside far up the Hudson, the scene
was one Of marvellous life and beauty,
And all New York was there to see it.
Every one Of the $50 steamers, tugs and
yachts forming the escorting fleet, as
well as each of the vessels composing
the naval militia, was crowded with
guests. New. York became for the
nonce city on the sea. All the points
Of view in the harbor and along the bay,
Liberty island, Staten island, Cover
nor's island, the upper stories and roofs
Of all the great buildings in the city, and
both shores of the Hudson were
thronged with spectators.
Shortly afler 10 o'clock the steam tug

about the same time and steamed down

Revolved Around Foreigners.
The parade centered and revolved
around the foreign naval visitors, the
warships Of France, Italy and Spain.
They had been lying anchored for sew
eral days in the Hudson river, in the
neighborhood Of Twenty-third street.
Some time in the early morning they
got up steam, weighed anchor, and
dropped down the river to the point Of
reception in Gravesend bay, and there
anchored to await events. These vessels
were the Arthusa, the flagship of the
French Atlantic squadron, which, by
virtue Of its rank, led the way; the
Hussard, another French gunboat, the
Italian cruiser. Giovanni Bausan. and
