days. But great crowds We're assem-
bled in Riverside park, overlooking the
Hudson, and men, women and children
stood there for hours under umbrellas,
watching the vessels on their way up
the river, and on their return.
BY far the greatest gathering OF peo-
pie was in the vicinity of Grants
tomb, which was the turning point Of
the parade. A national salute was fired
there by the Raleigh and also by the
captured Spanish prizes, and the
scene was rendered memorable one
by the shrieking Of hundred steam
Whistles from eNcuI sion boats and To-

OF people on shore and on the vessels

Boats of all descriptions continued to
arrive from the city, and each one ran
up as close 10 the Raleigh as possible
and cheercd for her. The two cap
tured Spanish gunboats, the Alvarado

yard early. both dressed gayly with

almost as much enthusiasm as the

A feature Of the travelling dress as 1t is
low In its perfection is its long coat. Tailors
turn out cloth gowns in three pieces-skirt,
shirt and highwayman coat. The skirt in
this instance Is just one G. the close fitting
AFFAIRS popular. The shirt is silk or wool,
as you please, but the coat is the thing. 1t
drops well-nigh to the heel, fits the body
snugly clear up to the chin, takes the hips
without a wrinkle, but below it falls in a
sort OF unconscious drapery. Sometimes it
closes with a fly front and concealed but
tons, all seams strapped, and the hem turned
up a little above the skirts foot and straight
around. In other cases it closes with a
series OF handsome braid from
shoulder down, and is artistically shaped
irregularly at the bottom, shorter in front
than behind. Any way you please to have
IL, the long coat is predominant and a neces-
sary part not only Of the spring travellers
wardrobe. but belongs in that of the stay-at-
homes. Under the chin such a coat comes
within two buttons OF the neck, turns bac X

gay color or a ripple Of cream lace betoken.
