Brumby and Caldwell. Admiral Dewey
did not attend the 'smoker." He was

ments, and retired at 1878 o'clock.

As soon as the greetings were over,
the mayor began his speech, presenting
the city's loving cup.

all these honors, one after the other-that

great magnificent reception. I cannot say
| what I want, but speaking for myself and
| the gallant squadron I had the honor to
command at Manila, thank you from the
bottom of my heart"
After the formal ceremonies Admiral
Dewey went about shaking hands with
his friends.
Great Parade Started.
The head of the parade started from
| Grants tomb at 11:15 a. m.
At the given signal, the platoon of
police advanced, clearing away the
| crowds that overfowed over into the
| street. Some little distance behind, on
bay horse, rode Maj. Gen. Charles
F. Roe, N. G. N. Y, followed by his
staff. Then came Sousa's band playing
a spirited air and behind it came bat
talon of sailors from the Olympia.
Then followed the carriage contain
ing Admiral Dewey, by whose side was
seated the mayor of the city. In re-
Spouse to the cheers of the thousands of
spectators, the admiral bowed right and
left and appeared greatly pleased at
the warmth of his reception.
On Seventy-second street a number
of school children, on stand built
especially for them, began to sing as
the head of the parade approached
They first struck up, in childish treble:
''Unfurl the Starry Banner" When
the sailors of the Olympia were seen
with Admiral Dewey, the children arose
and sang: Hail, the Conquering Hero
Comes"
The carriage stopped for a short time,
and Admiral Dewey threw kiss to
the children, who began cheering and
throwing kisses. The carriage con-
| tanning Dewey moved on, and the en-
thusiasm, which had been at fever heat,
subsidized a little. The other admirals
and officers were cheered by the chill
| dren. Admiral Sampson was cheered
by the crowd.
Wild Over Schley.
The children were singing "The Star
| Spangled Banner" when the carriage
of Admiral Schley came up. The crowd
again became frantic. Schley was
obliged to stand in his carriage. He,
like Dewey, waved his chapeau at the
children. and the crowd went wild over
him. The carriage of Schley stopped
for few minutes, and during that
time perfect storm of applause greet
ed him.
Admiral Dewey arrived at the re-
viewing stand at Madison square at
1:45 o'clock. The enthusiasm and
cheers that greeted his appearance
were tremendous.
The various sections passed quickly in
review and the parade was over.
Sailors Make Merry.
The sailors of the Olympia and of
the other ships of the fleet swarmed
to the number of several hundred to
the ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria ho-
tel Saturday night, where "smoker"
was given in their honor. The Jolly
jack tars talked and laughed while a
first-class vaudeville performance was
given. At the conclusion of the per-
formance the sailors sang the "Star-
Spangled Banner"
