But from the third round on,
Sharkey, with his piteous swings to the
ribs and jaws, kept the crowd on its
feet waiting for a knockout. Jeffries

his eye nose and ear split, came back
just as viciously in the last three

Jeffries' glove flying off brought
the fight to an end, although the crowd
urged Sharkey to rush in and end ii.
This he tried to do, but Jeffries fought
him back and Referee Siler rushed to
the rescue. 1t was noticeable that JEFF

Atlanta. When the rapid rise in the
cotton market became known here. the
local brokers were flooded with orders
to sell. One order was as high as 4,
600 bales The excitement was intense
with no abatement until the adyices
from Liverpool denying the rumors Of
the rise in prices were twice confirm
ed. The Atlanta buyers were very
cautious. Representatives of the lead
ing firms withdrew from the market
and their correspondents in oil parts
OF the south were notified to do the

big demonstrations at any other time,
passed almost unnoticed.
Both Major General Miles and Majes
General Merritt got ovatlons. But il
was Rear Admiral Schley who divided
the honors with the central figure OF
the day. He received a demonstration
second only to that of Dewey. People
along the line of march fairly rose at
him, shouting their already lacersted
throats to the breaking point Hur-
rah for the hero of Santiago" "There
is the man that smashed Cervera s feet /
Hip! Hipl Hurrah for Schley," and
kindred cries came from all parts OF
the line.
In upper Fifth avenue, some enthus-
iastic lady threw him handful of
roses. They landed fairly in the car
rage. The admiral leaned forward,
picked them up and lifted them to his
lips. Instantly all the ladies in the
balconies seemed possessed with tho de-
sire to have their flowers similarity
honofed an he was fairly bombarded
Many of the flowers fell into the street,
only to be caught up by Eager specta-
tors and carried to the carriage. Be-
fore he got to Madison Square Admiral
Schley was up to his arms in flowers.
The marines and sailors Of the North
Atlantic Squadron, eight battelions Of
them, attracted much attention. The
marines, with their brass helmets,
marched with q peculiar step, neither
seaman's roll nor landsman' s tead, but
q combination. The men of the

Their whistles were going ..oontinu-

untold thousands who thronged the
wharves and piers, who leaned from
windows and balconies and looked
down from the dizzy heights of sky
scrapers must have impressed the ad-
miral greatly, but his modesty would
not permit him to view it all as a
personal ovation.
Several times when the excursion
boats cheered as they passed close to
the Olympia, the admiral called upon
the crew to stand by and cheer.
Each time the sailors leaped upon
he steel bulwarks and with swinging
caps responded to the command with
troat splitting roars. When the crowd
of vessels about the flagship became so
dense that the progress Of the rest o.
the parade was impeded, the admiral
ordered the police boats to clear the
way of the ships that had left the line
and bad spread themselves about the
Olympia like flock Of wild fowl. He
did not leave the bridge until the APP
preaching darkness turned the ships in

New York. The land parade Satur-
day capped the climax. The city. .state
and nation united in one vast demon
stration worthy of the hero of Manila.
The earth trembled beneath the tread
of 80, 900 men and the air was torn
with the shouts of millions. The naval
parade of Friday was magnificent
and superb spectacle, but the wonder
Of modern times was the great land pa
rade Thousands of proud men of our
land and sea forces, militia of fifteen
states and the veterans of the civil and
Spanish and American war swelled the
procession and gave it the dignity In
size that it boasted in sentiment. Walls
Of peoples, miles long. stretched down
the line of march on either side, a
dense impregnable mass Fifth avenue
from Fifty ninth street to the Washing
ton arch at Fourth avenue, where the
parade dibsanded, was solidly packed
with spectators who overfowed into
the buildings. windows and onto the
roof lines. sat in embrasures and crowd
ed scaffolding. Along Broadway, where
it crosses the avenue the skyscrapers
were as crowded at the top as at the
bottom, and for blocks down the inter
secting streets tenants hung from the
windows and fire escapes and multi
tudes Of them were OH the roofs, lying
fat on their stomachs, peering down.
Seventeen aerial bobms from the top
Of the Waldorf Astoria heralded the
approach to the reviewing stand in
Madison square Several companies of
police, mounted on glossy, well trained
horses, brought sup the procession.
When the head of the column appear
ed the jackies Of the Olympia, march
ing rank in rank with an easy, roll
ing step and Sousa's blue coated band
p laying as only it can play, it was q
poor American whose heart did not
beat higher.
Then came the hero, the admiral,
and the officers of the feet, Fin all the
glory of their gold laced uniforms and
gold trimmed cooked hats. All were
in open barouches and at their head
was the man of the hour. Mayor Van
Wyck beside Admiral Dewey in the
carriage. The front seat WAS banked
with beautiful floral pieces.
Dewey was recognized on the instant
and the cheers and huzzahs that the
Olympia seemed tame compared with
the shouts they raised. 1t seemed fairly
to lift the sky. There is no perceivable
kind of noise they did not make.
Everybody waved and cheered and
nearly everybody jumped up and down
in frantic enthusiasm. Old men were
as enthusiastic as boys and just as
noisy.
The gallant captains of the ships en-
gagged in the destruction of Monteqjo's
