Blake with a squad Of blue Jackets
was the first of the foreign contin-
| gent TO land. i mid-hipman was in
/ command, and, beardiess boy that he
was, he seemed proud OF the distiuc-
ton of landing the queens troops on
I American soil.
At 9 O'Clock uaptha launch, tow
/ ing three boats, all loaded with blue
| jackets from the Concord, drew in
along the pier, and before the British
MILDLY noticed 1t Uncle Sans men
climbed over the string piece of the
wharf and instantly fell into line.
| They marched down one side of the
/ pier while the Britons stood at atten-
ton on the other side. IL was the
frat contact of the foreigners with
thu home forces, and there was no
clash of arms.
y few minutes later the steamboat
| Mattewan landed 600 Britishers,
marines, infantry and seamen, at the
end of the pier Commander Bailey
was in charge.
With the British was the goat Of
the Magicienne, decked with a ROYAL
red blanket. The Myandert Starin
landed the French soldiers at 38th
street pier at the same time.
The Sam Sloan, with United States
marines from the Chicago, Newark
and Philadelphia, landed at 10th
street at $40.
All the men formed in rank and
marched to AID street, where they
took places assigned to them in the
line. The Russians, Italians and
Hollanders landed at the piers just
above AID street. A detachment of
naval veterans commanded by Capt.
Osborne received the admirals and
seniors of command of the ships at
the foot of 42d street.
Carriages were in waiting and the
mounted police acted as their escort
to the head of the line
The Spanish alone kept out of this
pageant, which was 80 unusual in its
plan that American naval men had
not supposed it could ever be brought
about. The rest entered into the
novel and attractive project with
eager willingness.
THE START.
Governor Flower rode at the head
of the procession, followed by details
from the United States army and the
engineer corps. Then came the adj
mirals and other officers in carriages,
the foreigners being escorted by Uni
ted States officers.
Following these came the first di-
vision, consisting of United States
sailors and marines, led by marine
band.
The second division contained
sailors of the visiting fleets and mar
ines of Great Britain and Holland,
the only two nations represented, be-
sides ours, which have marines. Fol
lowing the British, in the order
named, came the sailors of Argen-
tine, Russia, Holland, France and
Germany. There were no Spanish
sailors in line. Next to the foreign
ers came the naval reserves of New
York and Massachusetts, and then
the state national guard bringing up
the rear.
The column moved from Forty
second street into Fifth avenue, and
down that thoroughfare to Waverly
place, to Broadway, down Broadway
to the City hall, where Governor
Fower left the column, and, with
Mayor Gilroy and other city officials
and visitors, reviewed the column,
which disbanded in Lower Broad
way. After the parade the governor
received the visiting admirals and
other officers In the governors room
at the City hall.
President Cleveland did not assist
at the review. He drove to the stand,
but the parade was late. and he was
compelled to take the train for Chi
cago before the head of the column
reached the stand. In getting into
the carriage at the hotel to drive to
the reviewing stand, the President
struck his head against the carriage
door, abrasing the skin on his fore
head. The doctor at the hotel dress
ed the wound, and after delay of
ten minutes the President proceeded.
The march down Broadway was
continued ovation to the foreign
visitors.
After the parade the governor and
Mayor Gilroy received the visiting
admirals and their officers in the
governors room of the city hall.
There was q collation. at the city
hall and the junior officers of the
ships were entertained at the Wal
dorf.
