THE NAVAL PARADE.
Continuation of the Columbian Celebration
in New York.
NEW YORK. Oct 1l.-Bright and early this
morning thousands started for good places to
view the naval parade. Long before noon every
available place on and overlooking the bay was
crowded. The big city seemed deserted. Broad
way evidenced no more signs Of life than back
street in a country town. The few tradesmen
who were not patriotic enough to close their
doors waited in vain for customers
The naval parade one of the most novel
sights ever witnessed. The series of gigantic
floats upon which were shown scenes illustrative
| Of the remarkable advance in shipbuilding
since Columbus discovered America. was one of
the best displays. The men-of-war that partici-
pated were the Philadelphia, Atlanta. Dolphin,
Vesuvius, st. Msry's, the trim-looking French
| flagship L'Arethuse, the italian cruiser Bausan,
spanish cruiser Infanta ISABEL and the Cushing.
The start was made from the upper bay. The
Philadelphia was the flagship and headed the
column as the fleet 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 dis
lance between the columns was about 800 yards
In the center column the foreign ships Of war
came under escort. The Narrows were entered
about noon and a salute Of twenty-one guns
was fred from the ships and tho forts on the
Staten Island and Long Island shores.
