OFFICIAL PROGRAM.
Dewey Reception will be Handsome Souve-
mir Well Worth Preserving.

The preparation of the New York
State official program of the Dewey
reception is now in progress, and or
ders are received from all over the
country and abroad for this great pop
ular souvenir of this national event,
which indicates the interest manifest
ed by the general public in the great
reception to be extended to Admiral
Dewey on his arrival in New York.
September IS. The State legislative
committee, of which Senator John
Ralnes is chairman, has perfected all
arrangements for the Dewey reception.
Mr.. George T. Parker has returned
from Washington, where he had been
in consultation with the navy and other
officials The indications now are
that from an artistic standpoint the
State program will be equal, if not
superior, TO any souvenir program of
like nature ever published. The Of
fetal design adopted by the committee
is an illuminated cover illustrating the
life of Admiral Dewey from his en-
trance to the Naval Academy to the
battle of Manila Bay, which is life
like anG realistic. The vivid picture
of the "Man Behind the Guns" is but
a fitting tribute to the gallant men
who fought with Dewey on that men,
orable May morning. The portrait of
Dewey in the center, under the eagle
and flags, represents the "hghtng
Commodore in his uniform as Ad-
mral of the Navy ofthe United States.
Scenes from the battle of Manila Bay,
and other interesting matter, and
among other features an engraved re-
production of the sword to be present
ed to Admiral Dewey, as we'll as a
fac .simile of his commission as Ad-
miral, signed by the president of the
United States, and sent to the Admiral
on behalf of the people and Congress
of his country.
Portraits of national, State and
city authorities will be likewise includ-
ed, the Senate and Assembly of the
State will be we'll represented by en-
graved portraits of the Senators and
Members. Many other features, to-
gether with the full official program OF
the naval and land parades, will make
this program we'll worthy of preserv-
alton as a memento of an eXtraordl-
nary event in the history of the En-.
pire State.
Orders, enclosing the price, IS cents
postal note, should be sent to George
| I. Parker, treasurer, 253 Broadway
New York, and they will receive
prompt attention.
