TARS ASHORE.
The Last Day Of the Naval Fes-
tivities.
All the Nations Displayed Their Nav
les on Broadway.



war in our harbor to participate in the
naval reviews, still more remarkable
was the spectacle presented Friday.
The uniformed forces of foreign ma
tions, armed and accoutred as for bat
tie, marched in our streets. With
muskets at their shoulders and small
arms by their sides, the foreigners in
vaded our soil and marched down
Americas greatest street, broadway.
Grim, ierce-looking Russians, to-
gether with sturdy Britons, rud-
dy-faced Germans, trim, quick-mov-
ing Frenchmen and darls-visnged
Italians marched in file after file, with
their own officers commanding and with
their own bands playing the airs that
they love best. Our marines and blue
jackets preceded them and our national
guardsmen followed in their rear.
The first suggestion that our visitors
be invited to land their men and take
part in a land parade was declared by
the big wigs of our navy to BE out of
the question. It was not until Presi-
dent Cleveland took the matter in hand
that the foreign admirals We're asked if
they would land their men. The hearth
ness with which nearly all the forces
accepted the invitation when it was cN
tended indicated the good will existing
between their governments and ours.
The admirals and commanders had
been dined and feted, and the day ar
rived when the middies, the relocated
marines, the ar.'llerymen and the blue
Jackets would have their turn. Hence
there was JOY between the decks Fri
day morning. Every man jack of them
had brushed up his uniform, pol
ished his musket, furnished his cart
ridge box and belt, and was ready for
the outing.
When the longboat, the cutter and
tho gig were dropped over the side, the
men slid into Them and in an instant
were pulling toward the shore with the
stroke that marks the man of war.
Ten o'clock was the hour for forming
the line, and the formation was on
Forty-second street West Shore ferry,
extending toward Sixth avenue.
Several platoons of police were on
hand to keep back the crowd of sight
seers who had assembled, and there was
considerable difficulty in maintaining
the lines, SO eager was the crowd to
have close look at the swarthy
cars of other nations. Our own sail
ors were not neglected. They were
cheered Justify.
The proceedings were managed by
Gen. Louis Fitzgerald. of the New
York state national guard, and Com
mander j. w. Milloch, of the naval re-
eerve, acting under the direction of
Admiral Gherardi and the committee of
one hundred citizens appointed by the
mayor.
Reviewing stands had been erected
by the comunttee at Madison Square
amt City Hall park. From these stands
the admiral and officers of the vessels
in the river and other invited guests
witnessed the parade. The decorations
ulong the line of march were not eX-
.ensive, owing to the storm of Thurs
day interfering with the work of trim
ming the buildings.
Gov. Flower rode at the head of the
procession. A platoon of mounted po-
lice cleared the way.
The governor was followed by details
from the United States army and en-
gineers' corps. Then came the admirals
in carriages. The foreigners We're es-
corted by officers of our own navy.
