given warm greeting and taken to the
cabin. One officer was so overjoyed at
the sight of the wife he had not seen
for twenty-three months that he rushed
down the gangway and kissed her in
the presence of 10000 people. Some of
the visitors had flowers for the ad
miral, and more had good things for
the crew. One man presented the crew
with rowboat load of watermelons.
AS soon as Admiral Dewey could de-
tach himself from those who were so
eager to see him, he returned the Off
cial visits which the etiquette of the oc-
casion required. He first called upon
Rear Admiral Sampson, whose ship lay
next to his. and then upon Rear Ad-
miral Howison, at the other end of the
line. For this ceremony the admiral
himself donned the full uniform of his
rank. There was a pretty ceremony
as he went aboard the New York and
the Chicago, and as the little launch
in which he sat passed each ship of the
squadron the sides were manned, the
drums were rolled, the bugles blown
and the officers at the ways saluted.
Upon the return of the launch to the
Olympia, the jackstaff from which his
flag f1uttered was taken down by Ad-
miral Dewey's orders, and these formal
ceremonies were thus omitted-another
proof of the admiral's innate modesty.
Then there were other official visits
between officers of the fleet, and these
continued without interruption for two
hours. One of the admiral's first acts
was to dispatch Flag Lieutenant
Brumby with his compliments to the
Mayor of New York and to apprise him
officially of the admiral's arrival

that he and his crew were just in after
their long journey and preferred to rest
and clean up their travel-stained ship.

Admiral HowiSonS rank entities him.
On board the Olympia the sides were
manned and the band and the marine
guard were Daraded.
AS the Olympia came abreast of the
Chicago the guard presented arms, the
drums gave four ruffles, the trumpets
four flourishes and the band played,
Home, Sweet Home dwelling with
swelling cadence upon the minor bars
The officers raised their gold bound
beavers and the sailors cheered.
Ship after ship took its turn in doing
honor to the admiral, as the Olympia
sailed grandly up the, line of floating
fortresses and the flood of sentiment
swelled up in their hearts. Admiral
Dewey, from the bridge, acknowledged
each salute with a wave of his cap.
He alone of all the officers of the fleet
was in fatigue uniform.
AS the Olympia swept by the New
York, the last ship in the column, the
full marine band aboard the Olympia
played Sousa's lei Captain" march,
and the spectators on the excursion
fleet cheered. The shippers turned
loose their whistles and sirens. Every
thing that could make noise in the
harbor joined. Farther than ears could

MOST BRILLIANT
ILLUMINATION OF
THE NARROWS

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Viewed from
the shore skirting Staten Island or Bay

pearance tonight of a big water fete,

been taken for a great canal formed by
revenue cutters and warships. begin

The Olympia was the center of at

for signaling were kept constantly
flashing from ship to ship, and at
stated intervals a long succession of
colored lights would flash out like a
sudden display of fireworks. when a
number of the vessels would simultan-
eously send messages to the guardship.
The most unique illumination along the
shores of the harbor was the effective
display at quarantine boarding station
above the Narrows. 1t consisted of
the words, Welcome Home" in white
electric lights, with a border of blue
and white and an immense American
flag, II feet by 25 feet, set in an illum-
mated frame of hundreds of white cleo
trio bulbs. This display was visible all
over the bay and attracted the atten-
ton of all the ships, besides an i'm

rectors There Is therefore every se-
curity that the lots will be held. abso-
lutely for the purpose for which they

provisions Of the charter 1t Is enacted
that no street road or lane shall be
