PLANS FOR THEIR RECEPTION
Preparations are making to give the American
fleet under the command Of Rear-Admiral
Sampson the grandest sort OF a reception that
can be arranged in the short period that Is to
elapse before the splendid ships arrive at this
port The attention OF the Nation and OF the
world has been concentrated upon these battle
ships and cruisers for months ana the almost
miraculous deeds they have wrought have been
the wonder Of Europe and America. Tonight
or tomorrow morning these victorious ships
will re-enter the harbor OF the country's me-
tropols for the first time since they steamed
away for Southern waters before the die had
been cast for war II enthusiasm and pride
count for anything they will get a reception
the like OF which New-York has never known
before.
Short has been the time in which to pre-
pare. everything possible has been done or Is
now doing The Mayors copmittees have been
appointed and held sessions yesterday. To-day
the subcommittee will make known their ar.
rangements Necessarily the programme must
be a simple one consisting for the most part
OF parade OF the warships from their anchor
age off Tompknsville. Staten Island. up the
North River TO point off General Grants
tomb There a salute 10 the Sleeping hero or
many victories will be fred by the mighty ships
of the Republic returning from other victories
over the Nations foes. The ships will then re-
turn TO their anchorage.
The President and the Governor of New-fork
have been invited to be the guests OF. the city
OF New-York tomorrow. but it is as yet un-
known whether they will be able 10 be present
or not although the President is not expected.
Before the parade begins Mayor Var Wyck VIII
visit the flagship New-York and present an adj
dress to Rear-Admiral Sampson.
There is every indication that the day will
be made n holiday. IL not by proclamation OF the
Governor. by general consent ~ the business
men Of the city. II general agreement can be
arrived at most OF the stores will close for the
day. but IL that is impossible. they will be closed
al noon. The captains OF all the ships in the
harbor have been asked 10 decorate their craft,
and the request will generally be observed. II
is expected that there will be tremendous rush
10 the North River side OF the city from the
Battery TO Claremont, in order to view the
parade.
1t is hardly likely that the financial district
will make the day formal holiday The banks
cannot close without permission from the state
Legislature the Governor. and the exchanges
especially the Stock Exchange. are now too
brsy 10 take holiday at short notice mas
much however. all the banks and other finan-
cial Institutions as well as the exchanges and
Government Offices. close at noon or | o'clock.
all who desire can join in the welcome TO the
triumphant feet.
