serted-tvns Very Successful Camp A Big Feature of the Week. Philadelphia, Sept. S.--The thirty third encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which began here last
 Monday, came to an end this afternoon when naval review was held on the Delaware river. The ships reviewed
 were those of the North Atlantic squad
 ron composed of the flagship New York,
 the cruiser Brooklyn and the battle-
 ships Indiana, Massachusetts and Tex
 as. It was the greatest of the three na-
 val reviews that have been held on the
 Delaware within year. The weather
 was perfect, the number of boats in
 line was very large and the crowds that
 lined both the Pennsylvania and New
 Jersey shores on the river far outnum-
 bered those that have witnessed the
 previous reviews. The squadron was
 anchored in column, with the New York
 at the head of the line Next came the
 Indiana, then the Massachusetts,
 Brooklyn and Texas. The parade went
 up the New Jersey side to point above the Texas and then came down on the
 Pennsylvania side, dismissing about a mile below the New York.
 The parade was formed off the League Island navy yard. From early morn ing until the time for the parade to start arrived vessels of every kind, loaded until their rails almost touched water, started down the river from the city Vessels carrying people from Will Del, Chester, Pa., and Tren- ton, N. J., were also early on their way to the navy yard. Every vessel was dressed in colors and the great fleet pre- sented handsome picture.
 The official reviewing party, consist ing of Governor Stone and staff of Pennsylvania, Mayor Ashbridge of this city, Captain James H. Sands, United States navy; United States Senator Pen- rose General James L. Latta and Major Richard s. Collum of the G. A. R., left the city on the government tug Samoset and was transferred to the United States revenue cutter Windom, which was anchored off the navy yard As the governor stepped aboard the cutter his flag was run up on the mast and the battery at the navy yard belched forth a salute of seventeen guns. The Windomsreturned the salute of thirteen guns for Rear Admiral Casey, comman- dant of the yard.
 Promptly at o'clock the flagship Me- Cauley with Commodore Josiah R. Adams flying the pennant of the Phila- delphia Yacht club, gave the signal for the start and the vessels got into line. Following the flagship came the reve- nue cutter with the reviewing party aboard. Then came the revenue cut Lers Gresham, Algonquin, Manning, and Onondaga. The rest of the fleet was in command of Captain Stadder. These were followed by lighthouse tenders, private yachts, steamboats, with G. A. R. delegates on board and great line of excursion boats, in all over 100 ves- sels.
 The journey of the vessels up the riv- -i eo tiiS odoeeuioii, q uiotdiiCC Ol OCN-i en miles, was a continuous ovation. When the head of the parade came abreast of the New York, the latter f1r- I'd the governors salute and the Win lom returned the salute of the admiral The New York's crew was standing at present arms, the rails being manned md Rear Admiral Sampson and his staff aluted as the governors vessel swept ,y. The other warships also saluted he governor The revenue cutters Gresham, Algonquin Manning, and )nondaga dropped anchor opposite the New York, and when the Windom came town on the opposite side of the squad on the cutters fired the governors sa- ute while the bands on the warships 'layed patriotic airs. In the vicinity of he squadron the wharves and buildings were crowded with people and when the 'arade was passing the fighting ships
 most deafening noise was made. Ev- ry steam vessel on the river let loose ts whistles, as did also all the factories long the shores.
 After the review was over Governor tone and his staff were taken on board he New York, where Admiral Samp- on tendered them an informal recep- ion. After the governors party had cen shown over the ship it was taken shore in one of the New Yorks lunches. Tonight Admiral Sampson nd the captains of the warships occu- jed boxes at the Walnut street the- ter, witnessing Chauncey Olcott's pro- uction of "A Romance of Athlone." lcott sprang a surprise by singing The Star Spangled Banner" The big udience, including the naval men, ,ined in the singing, the incident much enthusiasm.
