parallel with the yachts. The revenue
cutters will form line astern. This
formation will insure a clear space one
mile wide astern of and to windward
of the competing yachts. Provision is
made for maintaining this space under
all conditions. Elaborate rules are laid
down for the triangular races. On the
run in all vessels will be kept from

The story of the destruction of the

A Hearty Greeting.
When the committee from Washing
ton reached the Olympia each member
of the committee was cordially greet
ed by Admiral Dewey, but the warm
est handclasp and heartiest greeting
was for the adniral's lifelong friend,
Senator Proctor of Vermont. The ad-
miral presented each of the visitors to
Captain Lamberton and then all went
to the admiraPs cabin, where the COM
mittee completed the programme of
the Washington committee, and he ex-
pressed his entire satisfaction with
the celebration. Secretary Pruden pre-
sented an invitation to a dinner with
the president and the admiral accept
ed it.
Admiral George w. Baird who sail
ed with Farragut and Dewey in the
gulf in 1861, unrolled package which
he had carefully guarded all the way
to the Olympia, and displaying a fad
ed blue admiraFs ensign upon which
were StlltHtu lpuT White stars, ne sdlu
to Admiral Dewey:
Admiral, I wish to present to you
the first admiral's tlag ever broken
out in the navy Of this country. The
admiral, whose name and memory we
all so revere, first hoisted this ensign
upon the good ship Hartford before
New Orleans and afterward upon the
Franklin, and since it came down from
that masthead 1t has never been whip
ped by the wind or worn by the ele-
ments. You, the worthy successor of
that great admiral, whose tactics you
so successfully followed a short while
ago. deem the proper person for Far
ragut's mantle to fall upon"
This flag was made by Quartermas-
ter Knowles out of blue number"
flag when Farragut was first made a
rear admiral. Two white stars were
sewed on it. When Farragut was made
an admiral two more white stars were
sewed on 1t. Farragut few this flag
on the Hartford at New Orleans and
afterward in the Mediterranean.
Deeply Touched.
The admiral was deeply affected and
tears were in his eyes as he gazed at
the souvenir. 1t was several moments
before he recovered his voice. Finally
he said:
"I'l fly IT at masthead. I'll fly it in
the parade. I'll fly IT always. And-and
when ] strike my admiraps flag. this
shall be the flag l shall strike"
This was the most impressive scene
that has occurred on the Olympia since
her arrival in this port. and for some
time no one spoke, The silence was
not broken before he called his Chi
nese steward and ordered a case of
champagne. The Washington commit
tee remained on board chatting with
the admiral for an nour. A portion of
the committee left for Washington at

A TRibUTE OF SONG.
Twelve Hundred Singers Give Dewey a
Musical Welcome.

Musical Welcome.
New York, Sept. 2S.-Twelve hundred
strong, the Peoples Choral union, led
by Frank Damrosch, paid a tribute OF
song tonight to the sea heroes. About
700 of the singers were women. In the
steamer Warwick they left the pier at
Beekman street at 7:40 p. m. and 40
minutes later the Warwick lay to 80
yards from the stern of the Olympia.
My Country Tis of Thee" was the
first number and as soon as it was over
the jackies and officers expressed their
appreciation by three hearty cheers and
a tiger. Then the flashlights played
and showed the admirars nag at the
masthead. Three cheers for the War
wick and the 1,2e0 singers broke forth
into the stirring strain See the Con-
quering Hero Comes" The band of the
Olympia played THE Star Spangled
Banner" and the band on the Warwick
joined in, and the Olympians helped the
visitors to fill the night with the mag
nificent chorus.
Three cheers for Dewey" some one
in the crowd called, and a roar went
up from the dim dark line along the
rail of the Olympia as we'll as the ex-
cursion boat. The union then sang
1.-THE Hallelujah" chorus from Handlers
Messiah as the Warwick drew out,
but the anxiety of the singers to crowd
the boat and get a glimpse of the ad-
miral cut the singing short. Further
away the Warwick drew and the sing
ers united in the fine music of Men
OF Harlech." That was well under way
when the national colors were run UP
on the stern of the Olympia and with
the searchlights full on Old Glory it was
gracefully dipped by way of salute and
thanks.
THE Star Spangled Banner again
rang out in swelling chorus. and that
was the singers good night to the great
admiral.

LOTS OF WAR WIDOWS
fenSion Repor' Shows Remarkable
Facts In Regard to Lon
KeVity.

One Of the curiosities Of the United
states pension service is the astonish-
ing survival OF war widows. The re-
port Of the United States commissioner
OF pensions. just issued, shows some re-
markable and interesting facts in re-
gard TO the longevity of the widows of
soldiers. For instance, while there is
not single soldier of the war of the
revolution alive to-day, there are still
IL widows and daughters of soldiers of
the revolution. OF the war of 1919
there are only three soldiers still alive,
but of their widows there are still sur
viving and drawing pensions the aston
ishing number of 2.4O7, says the New
Orleans Picayune.
The war of the revolution closed in
1888. and period Of IFS years has
elapsed. and. while there are no MAJ.
survivors. there are still some of thei1
widows alive. This state of affairs can
only be possible on the ground that
some of the soldiers. after they had at
tanned old age, married young wives.
The war Of lS12-l4 closed with the bat
tie OF New Orleans on January 8. 1918,
SO years ago. Supposing that the
youngest soldiers were lS years old, d
period Of l0l years has elapsed since
the birth of such soldier. Evidently
many OF them. after they were old. mar
ried young women. SO that. although
all the men but three are dead. they
have left behind more than 2COO wild
ows. BY the same rule Of procedure it
is plain that there will be- widows of SOL
diers of the civil war on the pension
rolls in 1880. and even few in the veal
2OOo. more than century hence. for il
a soldier Of 1861 should marry when he
has reached the age of so years in 1928
a girl IL years old. she might hope &c
live II years longer. or 10 the age of %,
which woulf bring her up to the year
1000. Of course. il is NOT likely there
will be many such. but there will, in all
probability. be some.
