across the ship, and covering one-fourth
OF her entire length. constituting u
finer dining saloon than that possessed
by any yacht that rides the waters. The
saloon and the atter'cahtn had been
elegantly decorated, carpeted and re.
furnished in handsome carved mahoga-
ny specially designed.
Between 10 aud IL o'clock was tho
hour assigned for the President to COM
mence the review. 1t was nearer II
than 10 when the signal was given for
the start. As soon as the President
stepped on board the vessel tipped her
anchor and fred one gun, as signal.
This was asresponded to by boom which
seemed to shake the whole city. The
double turreted monitor, Miantonamah,
lying at tho rear OF the port column,
fired for the first time in port one Of her
huge ten.inch guns, charged with al
most 250 pounds OF powder. Almost
before the reverberations OF this gun
had died away in the distant echues,
the whole fleet was called to quarters,
yards were manned and every prepara-
ton made to receive the President OF
the United states with becoming re-
spect,

During the half hour or more that the
presidential progress lasted this can.
nonadinp never ceased until more than
sixteen hundred guns had boen fred.
towards the close Of their booming,
long separate identity had been merged
into one titanic roar, while flashes of
red fame and dense sulphurous clouds
Of smoke were all the spectators on the
shore could distinguish. Tho firing be-
gan with the German flagship Kaiserln
Augusta and the Brazilian battleship
Aouldaban; it was taken up in more
ponderous manner by the Dutch Van
speyk and the Spanish Infanta Isabel;
it was followed by the Argentine Nuevo
De Julio and the Italian Etna; was con
tinued by the American Charleston and
the French Arethuse; followed by tho
flagship Newark and the Russian ad:
miral's ship Dimitri Donskoi, and closed
by Admiral Gherardi, in the Philadel-
phia, and Admiral Sir John Hopkins,
in the noble Blake.
The intervals between the artillery
exercises Of the fagships were filed up
by similar exercises on the part OF the
other vessels OF the squadron.
Following close in tho wake Of the
Dolphin, aud getting the full benefit OF
the salute, came the army steamer
General Moigs, bearing the honored
foreign guest Of tho day, the Duke OF
Veragua, attended by General SCho-
field, OF the army, and Rear Admiral
Belknap, Of tho navy.
The only other steamer permitted
within tho sacred limits during the
brief progress OF the presidential re-
view was the Monmouth, upon which
we're senators and members OF Con-
gress, governors OF states, newspaper
REPRESENTATIVES aud other invited
guests.
