(continDed from Fira Page.)

tended beyond the Olympia's men and the
Admiral to the occupants OF the other car
riages. Wherever face was recognized by
anyone il started a round OF cheers. Tne
occupants of the carriages could not al
ways tell who the applause was for, and
many Of them bowed Acknowledgements
when the cheers were not intended for
them. So it happened that Mr.. Richard
Croker when his carriage was passing the
Union League Club, turned and graVeiy ac-
knowledged the applause that was being
literally dispensed there.
Over the hill at Forty-second Street it
was possible TO see well on down the Ave
nue. TO the memorial arch and to the big
revie wing stands that were built in its
neighborhood. At the Waldorf, at Thirty
third Street, the relatives of the Admiral
were gathered on a balcony which runs
along the state apartments and had been
assigned to them. The Admiral knew that
they would be there, and he saluted them
by taking of his chapeau and bowling. The
guests of the Waldorf gave him q mighty
cheer, and then they cheered the folk.
The Dewey Arch.
The arch was now in sight The Admiral
saw it. and the mayor began 10 tell him
about it, He was intensely interested. He
was much interested, too, in the objects liz
the air that were flying about in
that direction There were twenty kites of
almost as many shapes. They carried i'm
mense red, white, and blue streamers; they
carried flags. One of them carried ban
ner big enough 10 pull il down, almost, and
the banner bore the word, Dewey
As the Admiral's carriage drew near the
memorial arch seventeen bombs were fired
as a salute from one of the high buildings
They were of the biggest and loudest va
riety made and on the reviewing stand
they sounded like cannon. The uproar and
applause was continuous for the sailors and
for Admiral Dewey. There was applause,
too. for The six captains who rode behind
them. There was applause for Admiral
! Sampson, for General Miles, for Admiral
( Schley and for everybody else who was
/ recognized. General Miles and Admiral
Schley seemed to be better known than the
others and they got good share OF ap-
plause each. Somebody threw huge bou-
quet at General Miles. Before Admiral
+ Schley's carriage reached the reviewing
stand six or seven bouquets had been
thrown at him. The applause swept down
always a little ahead of the procession.
When ii reached the reviewing stand, or
stands rather, for there were several of
them. il swept over them in wave and
swept back and over them again. 1t grew
louder and louder. When the sailors ar
rived il was general.
There had been a struggle around these
reviewing stands ever since early morn
I ing. and il was still going on when the head
OF the parade arrived. Time after time
the people on either end of the stands broke
away from the police, and those officials
had all ihey could Go. There was great
struggle below the stands when the music
of the first band was heard. and the police
charged the crowd with their clubs and got
tbs better of it, The street between the
stands was kept fairly clear.
The oIympia's Men.
The Olympia's sailors made a fine show
ing The pioneers on the ship came first.
There were fourteen of them. They
marched ahead of the band. After the band
came the signal men and then Lieutenant
, Colvocoreses and the battalion of sailors.
IN the rear of the column there was wheeled
one of the rapid-frs guns taken from the
: fighting top of one of the masts. 1t was
mounted on wheels and was drawn by
means of a rope held by twenty-four OF
the sailors. after the manner of The old fire
: engines. IT was noticed at the stand that
while ali the men OF the Olympia wore the
brcnZe badges voted TO them by Congress
for their part in the battle of Manila, the
officers had none Congress voted badges

without them.
The cheering that greeted the Olympia S
men took on renewed vigo- when the car
rage containing the Admiral and the
mayor came along. ii lasted for several
minutes. The Admiral's carriage was
drawn by four horses. One Of his iackies
occupied the box with the driver. An offi-
( Ger with gold lace and chapeau mounted
on a sorrel horse rode just at the flank of
the first team on the port side, as the
jacky put II. The carriage drove directly
to the reviewing stand on the west side of
the avenue. The mayor was the first out
Of the carriage. The Admiral followed
him, and as he stepped down the cheering,
which had died away somewhat. was re-

Cheers for other Admirais.
AS the other carriages came up and the
occupants got out there was cheering fol
ali of them. which varied in volume Rear
Admiral Howison was not well known and
he received very little applause Scarcely
anybody recognized him. Rear Admiral
Sampson was the first man whose face was
familiar after that Of the Admiral and he
received a great deal of applause, as he
had received a great deal all the way along
the line from the start of the procession
Rear Admiral Schley whose face was bet
ter known than that of Admiral Sampson
received great deal of applause, which h.
acknowledged by doffing his chapeau ana
bowling again and again. The Governor!
who rode in the carriages came in for prac
ticaIly no applause al all, because none o
them was known to the New Workers whit
sat in the stands.
Before the arrival of the guests SOM

the hotels and slowed away quantities o
sandwiches and the moment the arriya
began the sandwiches were discovered TIL

personal staff and helped himself. Tn
