Everybody In New York that wanted to saw
the naval parade In honor Of Admiral Dewey
yesterday. There were mighty few people In
the city that didn't want to see It. but there
was plenty Of room for them all. That was the
great thing about the celebration; that nobody
was disappointed. Riverside Park as thea
tire for the viewing Of naval parades may have
its equals, but II certainly has no superior In
the world. million more persons than were
there yesterday could have spread over it's
broad. steep grass swards without filling tho
space and at that there was such a multitude
there as has never turned out to any similar
spectacle in the history OF the now world.
When Father Knickerbooker decides to turn
out he doesn't do tho thing by halves. He so
decided yssterday-not only to see what the
American Navy looks like. but also to do what
he could In honor OF his guest-and he took
with him his sisters and his cousins and his
aunts. his friends and the stranger within
his gates. his umbrella. his lunch In = box.
his opera glasses. and finally his camera.
OF which he has been much the slave since tho
crop OF war norOeS hEElNou 40 bWsf"eu
through Riverside Park and along Riverside
Drive from one end to the other blackeninR
tho green lawns in long patches. and
such Of his family and adherents a. weren't
with him there. were jamming the upper
decks OF overloaded and careenlng boats. or
fighting tho fall crop OF mosquitoes on the
towering heights OF Now Jersey across the
river. Do much else than be present to add
to the Admiral's greeting he could not. for

raised his voice In acclaim, his hundreds
OF steam craft plouEhinR burrows in the
river kept their brazen voices so con-
tinuously going that he had no chance on
earth to mako himself heard. So the old fell
low Just stood and Razed strenuously through
his opera glasses as long a. Dewey was In
sight and hoped that the Admiral saw him and
knew that he was doing his best
CROWD WAS OUT EARLY.
Encouraged by the bright sunshine and
hopeful sky the crowds turned out early and
proceeded to jam all the TRANSFORMATION lines
leading from every direction toward Riverside
Drive Just how carly tho drst on the ground
were there is = question. but It was as soon as
they walked up. for they were gentlemen who
had taken advantage Of thu hos ptality afforded
by the big stands along the Drive and had spent
the night under tho shelter. Such OF them as
could lay their hands on q couple OF boards
and few nails straightway constructed
ted little benches which they subsequently
sold to the sedsntary public for as much as
they could get. The others went out and COL

able.
The crowds that came from homo, having
homes to como from, began to arrive about
1Oo'clock and to parade up and down the park
with view to getting the best positions. The
great desideratum was a point of vantage
giving good view down the river and at the
same time Offering a prospect OF the stake
boat where the feet was to mako it's turning
and the fact that there 10 no such point any
where on the river front caused no little sor-
row to those who had como early with tho idea
that they cound find Just what they wanted II
they got In ahead OF the crowds.

The early corners got one view that their
lazisr fellows missed. and that was the COM
plete spectacle OF the two hoats victory and
Peace. These were anchored below the stake

what up the river from Peace. 80 that tho Ad-
miral was to meet Peace first and then VIC
