THE review of the Worlds Nayies at New
York last Thursday, was one of the grandest
affairs in the history of the Republic. Such an
ocean pageant was never before witnessed in
the country. Representative war ships of Eng
land, France, Germany, Russia, Italy. Spain.
Holland, Brazil. Argentine, and the United
States, passed in review before the ship Dolphin,
containing the President of the United States.
Grover Cleveland. The line ofvessels reviewed
was over three miles in length, stretching in two
columns. Hundreds of steamers and private
yachts crowded the waters, and people by the
hundreds of thousands witnessed the great spec
tacle.
Among the vessels none attracted more at
sention and interest than the reproductions Of
the Columbus caravels-the Pinta, Santa Maria
and Nina-which with infinite care had beer
towed across the ocean for the occasion.
1t was happy proof Of the friendship of the
nations, to see their great war crafts congrega
