| TIE GREATEST PARADE.
An Immense Marine Picture---Na-
ture Threatened.
UNDER A RAINBOW ARCH.

The naval parade from the vantage
point of the warships was an immense
marine picture, a water pageant with
so little of incident compared with great
size that it appealed to the eye as a
painting rather than a drama. The
vast gathering of water craft Iaaintain-
ed an average speed Of eight knots, but
so magnificent was it's area that the inn
preston was one of exceedingly slow
and stately movement. The picture
was continually changing, but it melt
ed so steadily and in such measured
rhythm from form to form that the
sense of motion was largely lost. It
started under brilliant sky, passed at
the mouth of the Hudson through the
threat of an ugly storm and emerged
through a rainbow arch that stretched
from shore to shore into q clear and
brilliant sunset off the Grant tomb.
Every foot of the city water front
was a mass of humanity. The wharves,
the ferry slips, the roofs of ferries and
warehouses rose one above another solid
blocks of people. Above the lower
structure of the water front every roof
bore its living freight.
AS the pageant moved majestically
into the Hudson, it was seen that the
crowd still lined the water front and
housetops, thicker, if possible, than
ever and stretching up the river along
the whole line of parade.
There was no possible way of estima-
ting the crowd. The morning papers
declared there were / 800, 900 visitors in
the city.
Storm clouds that had gathered down
the bay followed close in the pageant's
wake. A sharp wind bred whitecaps,
even in the narrow river, and few
raindrops battered on the decks.
Then the threatening sky relented.
The sun broke out ahead and painted
across the sullen clouds rainbow arch
that stretched from Manhattan to the
Jersey shore.
The white squadron swung around
the St. Mary's in turn, each saluting
the Tomb, though at the head of the
line the sound of the further guns was
lost in the roar of steam whistles.
Then there were the intimates of the
Sailors Snug Harbor. The Carlisle had
been chartered for their use. Governor
Delehanty of the harbor personally saw
that the men were properly cared for.
There were 600 of the old tars, and
their enjoyment was marked and noisy.
Never before in the history of New
York has this city witnessed a greater
pyrotechnic and electrical display than
that with which the return of Admiral
George Dewey was celebrated in the
harbor and waters surrounding the is
| land of Manhattan.
As if to join in the popular acclaim
to the great admiral, nature lent hel
forces to the display of fireworks, fol
the sky was illuminated frequently
during the evening with flashes OF
| lightning, showers at times interrupt
ing sky-roclzet proceedings, though but
slightly dampening the good nature OF
some of the crowds. There was seem
ingly no end to the display of fire
| works.

New York, Sept. 3O.-In the early
morning of Friday the crews of the

The scene was a glorious one as the
suns rays glistened on the white side
of the big vessels and the black hulls

The members of the Olympia's crew,
fearing to disturb the slumbers of their
commander, moved quietly about the
ship and the E'anchor watch was set
in silence. The marines paced their
posts noiselessly.
The weather could not have been
more beautiful. There was scarcely a
cloud in the sky, it was pleasantly cool,
and there was a slight breeze feom the
south, just strong enough to straight
en- out the flags.
At o'clock sharp the squadron got
under way.
It was an inspiring moment when the
column started up the harbor and the
great naval parade began to be a real
ity.
The procession was formed with the
steamer Sandy Hook leading, though
they were preceded by police and fire.

the mayor and representatives of the
city of New York.
After the Olympia came the flagship
of Rear Admiral Sampson, then Howl
