THE LOVING CUP
Presented To The Admiral In
View Of Thousands
Who Strained To
Hear And See.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Yesterday
was Dewey day aioat, and the navy
marked the sailor hero for its own.
Today is Dewey day ashore, and
five million adoring land-lubbers,
drawn from all quarters of the land
and from every station in society, jam
mediapd showed for chance to see the
admirsl's face, and in their ringing
cheers tried to prove tt at the hero of
Manila bay belonged, not to the navy
or the government or city officially, but
to the country at large, which has
jumped forward many points in the
eyes of nations largely because he
lived and fought.
Magnificent weather is repeated to-
day.
PROGRAM FOR THE DAY COMMENCES
EARLY.
Promptly at o'clock at Forty-Sec-
ond street and North river, part of the
reception committee, including Chaun-
cey M. Depew and Richard Croker,
boarded the police boat Patrol and pro-
ceeded to the Olympia's anchorage off
Grants tomb.
Dewey had arisen and breakfasted
early, and when the Patrol arrived
alongside he was ready with Flag
Lieutenant Brumby to step aboard.
No time was lost in heading the Pa
troll down stream.
DEWEY COMES ASHORE.
The sudden screeching of tugs and
ferry boats announced to the waiting
throEg at the Battery thstthe admiral
was approaching.
AS che little boat came into view a
great cheer started with the crowd
nearest the pier, which swept over the
multitude on Bowling Green.
AS soon as the Patrol was tied up
several of the committee leaped ashore,
and then Dewey, clad in resplendent
full-dress uniform, came down the
plank, smiling and bowing pleasantly
to the crowd, which appeared ready to
burst past the Gordon of police and car
ry the admiral to his carriage.
Those of the reception committee as
signed to receive the admiral then
escorted him to a carriage in waiting.
The committee filed up barouches be-
hind and cavalry trotted forward in
the lead with blare of bugles.
The procession moved at a moderate
pace, giving the crowd chance to see
Dewey's face. Flags and dhandkerchiefs
were waved almost in his face, while
cheers swept back and forth and reach
ed up between the sky scrapers.
The mile drive to the city hall was
one long ovation. When the admiral's |
approach was announced to the crowd |
in the city hall park by the buglers, a
preliminary shout of welcome rang out
and the occupants of the stands rose up |
as one man. |
Those on the outskirts pushed Wig
orously into the crowd and finally |
climbed there and op top of wagons to
catch a glimpse of the inspiring scene. |
THE ADMIRAL AT THE CITY HALL.
The admiral's carriage, drawn by q
psir of splendid high steppers, rolled
on to the promenade and tremendous
cheer arose, sounding like q broadside
of big guns. 1t was com mbination of
cheer, yell and howl and lasted for
minutes without diminution.
Dewey then descended from the car
riage and followed by the reception COM
mittee ascended to the entrance of the
city hall, where the admiral was well
coined by Mayor Van Wyck.
Then the party came back to the stand
and in the full view of the thousands
who strained to see and hear all, the
mayor presented him with the loving
cup.
The Sandy Hook, which conveyed
Dewey and his party to
Grants tomb, arrived at 1870 q. m.
The admiral landed at IL o'clock and {
with Mayor Van Wyck entered car {
riage in which they were to ride in the
parade. The vehicle was driven I
through lane of wildly enthusiastic 7
