SHELBURNE, VT, Oct. 11.-Adm. Dewey.
is home at last and is happy to be
within the shadow of the green
mountains and beside the waters of
Lake Champlain, away from the
noise and hustle that have filled his
ears since his flagship Olympia came
IN sight of Sandy Hook. The fact that
the admiral is really in Vermont was
signaled Tuesday night on tall noun
tain peaks by bonfres and electric
searchllghts from one end of the state
to the other
Adm. Dewey is the guest of Dr. w.
Seward Webb at his magnificent coun-
Try residence, Shelburne Farms. and
will not become the states guest until
Thursday at the capital, Montpelier
he came here on a special train from
New York Tuesday morning occupy
ing DR.. Webb's magnificent car the
Elsnere.
While in New York state Adm.
Dewey remained within the car chat

after crossing the Vermont line above
W hitehall the admiral seemed to crow
a little nervous, spoke of his home
coming repeatedly, and went on the
rear platform, although the car was an
observation one, to view the scenery.
he seemed to be very happy, and to
those who were around him it appear
I'd almost as if the admiral had a touch
IF Inconsistencies. AS the train neared
Shelburne the admiral watched the
changing scenery intently. Here
and there a flag was seen, but
it was nature that had done the
lavish painting on this great oc-
cas.On, for the Vermont woods are one
mass of autumn color. Whens the train
pulled into Shelburne the villagers and
folks from the surrounding towns,
from even as far away as Burlington,
had made up crowd of nearly 8, 600.
The engine stopped just at the sta
ton, so that the rear car, the Elsmere,
was abreast of little grass plot down
the track. When the train stopped
Adm. Dewey stood upon the rear plat
form. Preceded by DR.. Webb he
walked across the lawn, where a lam
dau drawn by two big black horses
was in waiting. As the admiral
walked across the lawn a band from
Burlington played 'Under the Eagle"
selection made at the special request
of the admiral.
As Adm. Dewey stepped into the
carriage, salute of II guns was fired
from behind mask of shrubbery
near by. Adm. Dewey remained erect
N the carriage with hat and gloves in
hand bowling and smiling to the peo-
pie around him. He was dressed in a
gray cutaway suit and wore a silk
hat. DR.. Webb handed in the admir-
aPs SOD, who took seat. The crowd
Of eager people closed in around the
carriage until the admiral looked into
a sea of faces. Just at the steps of the
carriage stood man in working
clothes, Michael Mckenzie, of this
town, noticeable because of his height
Suddenly Mckenzie threw his cap in
to the air and yelled: Lets give
three cheers for Adm. Dewey, the hero
of Manila" The cheers were given.
Along the road were drawn up 200
school children, each with a flag, and
headed by their teacher. At a signal,
the children sang parody on Yam
kee Doodle Dandy" beginning: Yam
kee Dewey went to sea-" The
movement of the carriage was so timed
that it reached the end of the line just
as the chorus was reached and the ad-
miral, who had stood up in passing,
bowed his acknowledgements. The
horses were then whipped up and the
admiral was driven TO Shelburne house
at Shelburne Farms, three miles away.
