The route Of the parade was seven

it turned east and continued to Cen

lowed. Each company as 1t passed sa-
luted the Manila hero, who always re-
sponded gracefully. This was the first
occasion Dewey had to see the arch
erected In his honor. Its beauty ap-
pealed to him instantly.

The ceremony at the city hall was
brief, lasting about twenty minutes.
The admiral left the city hall with

Up the Hudson pandemonium
rsigned supreme. Aerial bombs broke
smoke, and feathery canopy Of
steam hung over the advancing feet
~ hundreds Of steam whistles
screamed continually. The narrowing
throat Of the river crowded the ad-
vancing vessels together In almost
compact mass. The broad arrow FORM
alton still drove the head of the column
forward unmolested through the ranks
Of the waiting vessels.
Never before in the history Of New
York has the city witnessed q greater
pyrotechnic and electrical display than
that with which the return Of Admiral
Dewey was celebrated in the harbOr
and waters surrounding the island of
Manhattan Friday night.
From the bay the letters on the
Brooklyn bridge, Welcome Dewey"
were plainly discernible, and were one
of the features of the celebration.
Saturday dawned cloudless, with
crystal atmosphere. 1t was cooler than
Friday, however, and overcOats and
fall wraps were In order on the miles
of stands.
At o'clock Admiral Dewey landed
at the Battery, and, accompanied by
the reception committee, drove to the
city hall. where he was received by
Mayor Van Wyck.

who strained to see and hear all, the
