of New York city's official welcome to
Admiral Dewey opened cool and clear.

the temperature was just low enough to
keep the crowds on the move for
warmth. Many people were out at sun
rise to secure desirable points from which
to view the parade, but lower Broadway
was we'll filled with those who were anx-
ious to have look at Dewey on his way

New York, Sept. 26.-Much to the sur
