NEW York, April 27.-The day of tn
great naval pageant aud review was ush
cred in this morning by a steady down
pour of rain. To add to the dissgreeabl
weather there was chilly northeast win
blowing over the city, and the hundreds o
thousands of people who had come from
all parts of the country to witness the re
view were wet, cold and ugly, and to ado
| to their discomfort and ill-feeling it wa
| announced at the time that the review wa
to take place that 1t had been postponed.
According to the program Presiden
Cleveland and his cabinet were to embark
on the despatch boat Dolphin at Yves
Twenty third street at 1890 O'Clock, but {
few minutes before that hour word wal
received that in consequence of the rair
the review would be postponed until
O'Clock.
Although this order was not supposed
to interfere in any way with the general
plan except by way of delay, nevertheless
it caused no little upsetting of official and
private arrangements, besides causing
hundreds OF officials, committeeman and
others to waste nearly three hours, was the
means of mountaineering many thousands
of persons who were already adoat and
were not made aware of the cause of delay
until some time after 1t was known to
those Immediately concerned.
Unfortunately the notice of the post
ponement was not received in time to pre-
vent the embarkation of most of the vari-
GUS officials and committees who were to
take part officially in the review, 30 that
they had tedious wait on the river, being
obliged to pass away the time as best they
could until O'Clock, which hour the re-
view was finally begun.
although the clouds continued to hover
about in threatening manner.
President Cleveland, accompanied by his
wife and Lieutenant Wood, left the Victo
ria hotel at LOS pm. Eight minutes later
his party arrived at the foot of West
Twenty third street, where thousand men
and women who had stood in the rain for
four hours cheered him enthusiastically.
Mrs. Cleveland, enveloped in twesd caps,
macintosh, black felt hat and black veil,
was the first to alight, and her appearance
was the signal for the cheering to b:gin.
The president followed her, removing his
silk hat, and paused for a moment bowling
all around to the psople.
The party was Immediately escorted to
the launch of the Dolphin, which steamed
away as soon as the company was on board.
The launch steamed rapidly out to the Dol
phin, and from the shore the presidential
party could be seen climbing up the gang
way of the despatch boat, Mrs. Cleveland
in advance. AS soon as the president
reached the deck bang went one of the
Dolphin's guns, and the presidents flag
was unfurled at her masthead.
The blowing of a hundred whistles and
the booming of guns at 1:15 announcl d
that the president had embarked, and FL
most instantly the crews of the men Of
war all along the line went to positions
facing the rail, and at the masthead is and
tops The rain had cea..d and while tie
clouds hung low overhead there were indi-
cations that led the anxious srz 3tato.s t.
hope for the appearance of the sun.
At 1870 the first boom of the ten-inch
gun on the Miantinomoh announced that
the Dolphin with the president on boaid
was passing up between the two columns
of war vessels.
The roar of the Miantinomoh's guns was
followed by salute from the BrPzilian
ships Republica and Tire1ontes. The
Dolphin replied to the Brazilisns, and q
cloud of smoke rose over the lower end of
the line of war ships. The Braziliane
manned yards just before firing, and the
long lines of blue jackets stood out against
phin moved at slow and stately gait, and
the salute of each chip was distinct and
sharp The Aquidsban, flagship of the
Brazilian feet, finished ealuting at 1:40,
and the Nueva Espana took its turn. The
Dolphin WAS followed at a distances OF
about 500 feet by the Blake, and she In
turn by the Miantinomoh.

moment later by the Rsina Rspente of the
starboard column, and the two ships, one
on each side of the Dolphin, made the

At 2 o'clock the Yorktown and the Ar

there was an interval during which band
