EXCURSIONS PLY AROUND THE FLEET.
From shore and ships the scene at that part
OF the Hudson was charming yesterday. The
sky was almost without q cloud all day. the
brisk wind broke the river surface into dark
background. against which the white ships
stood out boldly. and the river on either side
OF the line OF ships was gay with excursion
boats. which steamed up one side OF the line
and down the other. their loads OF passengers
cheering each ship as they passed while bands
OF music played. Crowds OF people passing
and repasslng on Riverside Drive on foot. In
carriages and on bicycles. made q pretty
picture as seen from the ships.

From the Battery to Grants Tomb yester-
| day one saw little but out-of-town sightseers.

| crowds that filled the high class hotels had re-
| manned to shop. or to make the rounds OF the
theatres. or wait for the yacht races. The
patrons OF the dollar day hotels ciphered
out that as long as they had a cent left they
would be foolish 10 60 back homo leaving I'M

| pinned their return tickets in and decided to

| Some enthusiasts eagerly sought the Bowery.

| JAM AT THE DEWEY ARCH.
AZ was the case before the celebration proper
| began there was one main centre OF interest
| yesterday, and that was the Dewey arch.
| Everybody who came from out OF town pro-
posed to go back and tell the stay at home
| folks that he had walked under the arch. The
| result OF this was that there was decided con l.
| gestion there most Of the morning and after
| noon. and policemen were kept on duty all day
to control the people and handle traffic.
| At 3 O'Clock in the afternoon there was
such blockade as has. perhaps. never before
been known on Sunday. Long lines OF BILE
| cars. both upbound and downbound. wsrs
| waiting an opportunity to get through. and the
eloquence Of the inspector was continuous but
| OF little avail as the people were no sooner
