fore him shortly after O'Clock. There
were many novel and interesting
features. relieving the sameness OF the
ordinary civic parade. The spectacle.
as the marchers came up the length Of
the avenue In the glare of the red
lights. under sweeping arches Of stars
and thousands Of Roman candles, was
beautiful and impressive. The be-
ginning Of the march was heralded bv
the bursting Of thousands Of giant
crackers, while bombs along the lire
sent showers Of fire into the air.
A formidable detachment in the line
was that Of the international machin-

and all of the marchers carried flaming
red torches.
The letter carriers had all the local
postal cars in line. ablaze with cleo

to Dewey. One of their features was a
gigantic illuminated envelope address

Following the German societies the
general public fell in behind, but lne
crowd was so eager to see Dewey
that they spoiled the effectiveness OF
this part of the arrangements by
breaking through the ropes and surg
ing about the grand stand, where they
gave vent to wild cheering and noisy
demonstration that completely upset
this part of the review. Admiral Dew
ey gave frequent acknowledgment to
the cheers for him and seeing that the
review had lost its distinctive char
acter as procession, quilted his place
early, and with the president. followed
by the members Of the cabinet, left the
stand, the admiral proceeding to the
home OF his hostess. Mrs. Mclean,
and some of the others accompanying
the president to the White House. The
procession was In line for half hour
later. and there were frequent salutes,

Columbia Allows shamrock Time,

New York. Oct. 3.-One OF the great
est surprises for yachtsmen since the
arrival OF the Shamrock In these wa
ters was the announcement officially
made at the New York Yacht club last
night that the Columbia would have
to allow the Shamrock six and thirty
one one hundredths seconds on a 30
mile course. 1t was generally sup
posed that the Shamrock, by reason of
her greater sail spread and apparently
larger hull. would have to give the
Columbia something like minute time
allowance over the 30 mile courses
which they are to sail. II appears,
however, that Designer Fife. while
giving the Shamrock larger sail plan
than the Columbia. has at the same
time so constructed her hull as to give
shorter water line by almost two

and continued until the end of the

Admiral Dewey had a day OF rest on
Sunday. The functions and the recep-
tions that have figured so prominently
in the daily life OF the admiral since
his arrival Off Sandy Hook last Tues
day morning had proven almost too
much for his strength. The admiral
Las been under such perpetual phys
ical and nervous strain that he was
almost exhausted. Saturdays cere-
monies were the most taxing ON his
strength of any that he has yet had to
undergo, and he appeared on Sunday
looking pale and worn. Despite the
fact that he retired early Saturday
evening and enjoyed good nights
rest, the admiral on Sunday was too
fatigued to more than remain In his
room the greater part Of the time.
Many people invaded the Waldorf-As-
toria who wished to send cards to Ad-
miral Dewey, but few we're permitted
to do 80. the admiral's fatigue being
given as the reason. The only public
functions Of the day were the recep-
tion Of the committees from Chicago
and Philadelphia that had come to in
vite the admiral to visit their cities.
The admiral said that he would visit
both cities. but gave no intimation as
to the date. saying he must first visit
Vermont.
