It was fitting finis to the days celebra- tion and one that the city's guests will not soon forget. It is estimated that fully 20,00O visitors enjoyed it. During the daytime the streets were crowded, but tonight they were jam med. This morning the harbor was very comfortably filled with yachts of all descriptions and numerous excur- sion steamers crowded in throughout the day, but the arrival of the great fleet of the New York Yacht club brought the climax.
 Darkness had hardly settled down before a blaze of light was kindled. The graceful lines of many yachts were shown by scores of electric lamps, lan- terms dependent from the rigging and colored fires burned all about. The government warships made magnifi- cent display. Lights beamed out all over the powerful vessels and their searchlights swept the sky and glared in every nook and corner of the har- bor
 The cruisers New York and Brooklyn and the battleships Maine, Massachu- sets, Indiana and Iowa were all law ish in their decorations. The Dolphin, too, was attractively embellished with electric lights.
 The boats entered for the Venetian parade began to form in order at 7S0 and soon after they moved amidst the barking of yacht cannon and the de- donation of bombs ashore.
 Slowly, like a huge snake the line of boats wound round Goat Island, while the fireworks continued without cessa- tion, surprise following surprise for over two hours.

HIS FIRST. PAssENGER.
(Hafper's Round Tnble.) !,

8 There was one little incident In Rob-
ert, Fulton's life about which few people
Know and which Fulton never forgot.
II took place shortly before the return
trip of his famous boats voyage up
the Hudson river. At the time all Al
pany Hocked to the wharf to see the
strange craft, but so timorous were
they that few cared TO board her. One
gentleman, however, not only boarded
her, but sought out Fulton, whom he
found In the cabin, and the following
conversation took place:
This is Mr.. Fulton, presume 2"
YES, sir" ts9aia Is,
do you return to New York with
this boat?"
We shall try to get back. SIR
Have you any objection to my re-
turning with you?"
'If you wish to take the chances with
US, SIT, have no objection"
What Is the fare?"
After moments hesitation Fulton re-
lied six dollars" And when bhat
amount was laid In his hand he gazed
at 1t q long time, and two big tears
rolled down his cheeks. Turning to the
passenger, he said: Excuse me. sir. but
this is the first pecuniary reward have
received for all my exertion in adapting
steam to navigation. would gladly
hte Tie occdSlon with a little
dinner, but am too poor now even for
that. If we meet again I trust 1t will
not be the case" !.
AS history relates, the voyage termina-
ted successfully. Four years later Full
ton was sitting in the cabin of the
Clermont, then called the North River,
when a gentleman entered. Fulton
glanced at him and then sprang up and
gladly shook his hand 1t was his first
passenger. and over pleasant little
dinner Fulton entertained his guest with
the history of his success, and ended by
saying that the first actual recognition
or his usefulness to his fellowman was
the 81 paid him by his first passenger.
