| NEW YoRK, Oct. lit would be i'm
possible to imagine more beau tiful morn
/ ing than the one New York and her Wis
itors have engaged for the great naval
| parade held in honor of Columbus. The
sun beamed with dazzling brightness up
on everybody and everything, sharp
but pleasant breeze made overcoats just
desirable enough and not cloud was to
be seen in the blue canopy over busy
| Gotham.
When the hour for mastering the fleets
arrived, the Narrows, above and below,
| presented spectacle not often seen even
in these busy waters. The bay seemed to
be covered from shore to shore with sail
| ing and steaming craft of all sizes and
| descriptions. An hour before the time
| for the start one would have deemed it
| utterly impossible to create anything like
order out of the constantly moving masses
of ships But order was brought about
and the parade was started at 1890.
The vessels in the parade moved at uni
form rate of six miles an hour, and there
was ample opportunity for every one to
The trim looking French man-of war
Arathuse, the Spanish warship Infanta
Yesbel, and the italian cruiser Bausan
were all cheered as they proudly steamed
up the Hudson.
S. Nicholson Kane was the director of
the naval parade. Among the members of
the naval committee who sailed in the tug
Howard Carroll were Mayor Grant, Will
lam G. Whitney, General Martin McMs-
hon, John 81. Starin and General Horace
Porter.
The start was made at 1890 from the
lower bay. The Philadelphia was the flag
ship and headed the column as the feet
advanced up the bay, on the starboard side.
There were three columns in the line as
they came up the bay and North river, and
the distance between the columns was
about 300 yards. In the center column the
foreign ships of war came under escort.
The Narrows we're entered about half an
hour later. and a salute of twenty-one guns
was fired from the ships and the forts on
the Staten Island and Long leland shores.
The order of parade was as followe:
PatrolIing hotila, manned by naval militia

arms. Director CT the naval parade on board
