 has been postponed till l o'clock on l account of Iain. The President has gone
 on board the reception vessel to await
 that hour. Notwithstanding the down.
 pour as early as o'clock the naval vessels began to put on their holiday

 city. The dou ouble-turreted monitor
 Miantop omoh lying at the rear of port column fired one of her 10 inch guns
 charged with nearly 250 pounds of pow der. At once the whole fleet was called
 to quarters and yards manned. The
 scene was as pretty as we'll could be
 imagined. AS the Dolphin's bow came in line with each man of war "P esent
 arms" was sounded on the bugle, of ficers and crews saluted, band struck up the national air and a national
 salute of 21 guns was fired by each
 ship. During the half hour or more
 while Presidential progress lasted, can- nonading never ceased till more than 1900 guns had been fired.
