Leaves New York for Washington
in an Elaborate Train.

New York, Oct. 2.-The functions
and the receptions that have figured
SO prominently in the daily life of Ad-
miral Dewey since his arrival off Sandy
Hook last Tuesday morning have
proven almost too much for his
strength. The admiral has been under
such a perpetual physical and nervous
strain that he is now almost exhausted.
Saturdays ceremonies were the most
taxing on his strength of any that he
has yet had to undergo, and he APP
peared yesterday looking pale and
worn, despite the fact that he retired
early Saturday evening and enjoyed
good nights rest. The admiral yester-
day was too fatigued to do more than
remain in his room the greater part of
the time and rest quietly. He received
Mayor Van Wyck at nine o'clock.
Mayor Van Wyck acted as the escort
of the admiral throughout the day.
He was present in the admiral's room,
he escorted him down to the parlor
where the Chicago delegation was to
be received and was the only repre-
sentative of the city in caring for it's
gallant guest.
At 9:15 Mayor Carter Harrison, ac-
companied by Tina r. Carter, one of
the committeeman, arrived at the hO-
tel, The other members of the com
mittee came strangling in and at $3.50
they were all present. The doors of
the big hall room on the Waldorf side
were then thrown open and the mem
bers of the committee, headed by
Mayor Harrison. entered the room.
Promptly at ten o'clock Admiral
Dewey came into the room. He wore
civilian suit with frock coat and
dark trousers and carried no hat. The
instant he appeared there was a burst
of applause. He saluted and said:
''Good morning, all.'
Admiral Dewey met Mayor Harrison
as he advanced with a cordial greet
ing. Mayor Harrison then said a few
words appropriate to the occasion and
handed the admiral the formal
invitation of the committee. Ad-
miral Dewey received the invi-
tation and turned its pages.
AS he continued to turn over. the
leaves, he glanced up and said a few
words of thanks.
As Admiral Dewey was leaving the
room there was burst of applause and
he turned and waved salute with his
hand as he disappeared behind the
heavy curtains.
The land parade Saturday was even
finer than the procession of ships the
previous day. There were $1,000 men
in line. Under the slxillful manage
ment CT Maj. Gen. Roe the parade had
been formed in the streets adjacent to
Riverside park and it came together
like piece of carefully adjusted ma
chinery. When it moved it passed be-
tween two solid walls of people along
the line of the parade from One Hun
dred and Twenty-secOnd street to the
arch.
Admiral Dewey mounted the review
ing stand, accompanied by the mayor,
and found it flower garden. The re-
viewing party had scarcely got settled
in its seats when Sousa's band came
blaring down the avenue, playing, of
course, the ''Stars and Stripes Forever
and leading the sailors of the Olympia.
The sailors went by in good order,
every man, sailor and marine alike,
carrying Lee rifle at present arms.
Admiral Dewey, during the passage of
the naval division, stood alone in the
reviewing stand, erect, presenting a
striking figure. His right hand was
raised in salute so that the forefnger

When the division of the regular army
passed, Gen. Merritt took his station
beside the admiral and joined in the re-
view. The admiral continued his re-
view until the last organization had
gone through the arch.
Admiral Dewey will leave the Wal
dorf Astoria to-day at 1915 o'clock on
his journey to Washington. The trip
from Jersey City to Washington will be
made on the most elaborate special
train ever run by the Pennsylvania
railroad.
