miral Northon Of the Brazilian fleet, and
the blonde haired and the blue-eyed

Close or tho Cereu,oniea.
Fifteen minutes before the reception
ended and when the president was pre-
pairing to land. an admOnitory eignal was
the vessel and entered his barge at the
foot of Ninety -sixth street every vessel
in the fleet again manned yards and rails
and once moro fired q salute Of twenty
one guns. following the Dolphin's lead.
Then the presidents dag was lowered by
the Dolphin and the public ceremonies
of the day were considered over.
But tho private part Of the fun had
only just begun. As soon ~ tho Dol
phin passed out from between the an
chored feet tho Gordon was broken and
private steamers and yachts rushed in.
When tho smoke had partially cleared
they obtained . magnificent view Of tho
combined naval forces at close range.
The fagships Of the squadrons court
eously returned the innumerable salutes
rendered by tho private steamers and
their officers seemed TO heartily appre-
ciate the interest their appearance
created. Nor was the spectacle one
which they themselves would be likely
10 forget. The view they have had the
last two days of New York's magnificent
harbor and Of the vast concourse gath
cred to honor the event in which they
participated could not fail to make an
Impression.
Ii was q fitting and dramatic close to
the proceedings when. at the close OF the
review. the flagship Philadelphia slowly
steamed up 90 Riverside. opposite the
tomb of Grant. and on this day. the an
niversary OF his birth, fired salute to
his memory.
The reception Of tho admirals BY tho
president lasted until i:4O p. m. Then.
when HE flag wss hauled down on the
Dolphin aud he went ashore at Ninety
fifth street at n signal from the Phila-
delphia, the guns Of tho entire fleet
belched forth simultaneously. Each
vessel fired twenty one shots, and the
roar was deafenine. When il subsided
smoke hung in heavy clouds over the
river and the Jcrsey shore was invisible
for como minutes. Tho admirals re-
turned 10 their chips. the seamcn TO
their boats. which still were lined with
passengers desirous of seeing all 1t the
great naval pageant. and went to their
piers and the ceremonies were over.
