boy named joseph McGowan, also
eight years old, went TO the west bank
OF the river, near Division street bridge.
Tied up TO the shore were a number
OF roWboats and into one of these Jesse

Jesse was precipitated into the water.

CRUISER DEPARTED.
The Montgomery Given a Lively
Send-0ff.
Followed 10 Newport by Fleet of Steam rs
and Oth.r Boats.

The visit of the United States cruiser
Montgomery is thing OF the past, foI
shortly after $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning the warship left Providence
harbor for Newport. While the recep.
ton accorded the cruiser on her arrival
on Tuesday last was a most hearty
one, the farewell was one that the Off
GERS and men OF the ship will long re-
member. Crowds lined the docks on
both sides OF the river, while boats OF
every description covered the waters of
the harbor. and cheer after cheer filled
the air as the cruiser swung around
towards the lower bay.
As the war vessel. with colors flying
from her stern, steamed slowly out of
the harbor, the "jackies' stood at at
tention on her upper works. while Capt.
sam Rhodes, the pilot provided by the
state. was on the bridge with the navi-
gators. AS soon as the cruiser got un-
der way the steamers Mount Hope, Bal
timore and Squantum, carrying excur-
sion parties. went down the river To fol-
low the Montgomery on her trip to
Newport. All the excursion steamers
were trimmed with flags and made a
fine showing.
IL was an ideal day for the trip, and
the large crowd OF excursionists were
deeply interested i'm following the
cruisers course. The big vessel went
down the bay very slowly, and the
steamers had no difficulty la keeping
close 10 her. There was quite fleet
OF sailboats and steamers in the prn=
cession down the bay at times. which
was headed by the cruiser. At Conf
micut light the pace warmed up a trine.
and when Coasters Harbor was reached
tho Mount Hope went ahead To her
dock. She arrived there at $50 y. IN.
All along the bay the cruiser was
saluted from passing vessels and front
the shore. and gracefully acknowledged
these salutes by dipping her flag When
she reached the training station an
chorage the Montgomery tied up To the
and the Squantum. with the
float made fast to the cruisers side.
The Baltimore took off the party that
came down on the Mount Hope To the
cruiser. and thereafter made hourly
trips.
At ; o'clock the Mount Hope and
other excursion steamers left Newport
for this city, and on the way out OF the
harbor the Mount Hope passed the
the transport now taking on
the 45th New York. Cheers were given
to the soldiers, and they responded by
n flourish on the bugles The excursion
boats reached this city about o'clock.
