ana the annexed district had been waiting
around since flye o'clock In the morning so that
they shouldn't miss the sight. AS early as
seven o'clock there had been such crowd that
the police had found 1t necessary to close the
gate leading from the pier to the street.
From that hour on the crowd increased ;
people came from downtown to see the
start OF tho procession. Everybody who
had had experience with paradss seemed
to be under the impression that they
never could start on time. and that there
would be better chance to have q look at Ad-
mral Dewey before the start than there would
after. An hour before the arrival OF the Sandy
Hook. mounted police had arrived and foot
police and they charged on the crowd and
drove them hack. and at last opened the way
through which the gate leading to the pier
could be reaohed A large part OF this crowd.
after being driven back, spread out along the
road leading up the hill to Riverside Drive and to
Grants Tomb. so that before the landing time
they were lined Ave ami six deep all along that
road There was still big ovid left to greet the
Admiral the moment that he showed his face.
More than half the folks on the boat got of be-
fore Adm 'ral Dewey ard walked arm In arm
up the pier. Two or three times some one OF
these men was mistaken for the Admiral and
there was little cheer until the mistake was
discovered. but the moment that he did ap-
pear everybody recognized him and there was
q great VIII COP and burrah. The Admiral took
of his chapeau In acknowledgment. This
cheer was infec tious. 1t spread up tho line rap
idly and 1t had soon passed Admiral schley
who was a 100 yards in advance. Admiral
Schley took of his hat and bowed his ao-
| Acknowledgements.

oLyMp1A's GREW ASHORE
The word that the guests had left the Sandy
Hook and that the parade was about to begin
was passed quickly up the road. with the result
that the crowd up there started down the hill
before the carriages had filled. The police had
their hands full keeping the roadway clear. As
quickly as they were flad the carriages were
driven up between crowds OF siRhtseers held In
check by the police. who chsered every body
and everything. The official start OF the pa rads
was to be at 1924 street. Long before the ar
rival OF the Sandy Hook and her distinguished
passengers the no less distinguished Grew OF
the flagship Olympia had come ashore and had
been appointed to their position Just beow,the
Grant Monument The carriages drew up be-
hind them.
Tho police had kept the crowd from tho lawn
that surrounds the monument and from that
side Of the street for two blocks. On the other
side the people were massed in such crowds
that IL was almost impossible ito get through
them. The mounted police had position
ahead OF the Olympias crew. When the car
rages appeared they went still further on and
then the carriages drove by the crew. tha co.
cupants receiving their salute and returning 10
as they went. When the carriage with Admiral
Dewey appeared tremon 1ous cheer went up.
which was acknowledged by the Admiral with
. dlgnihed salute.
BuoLE STARTS THE PARADE ALMOST ON TIME
The parade was to start at IL o'clock. and It
was only few minutes after that whom the
bugle sounded and the start waH made the
mounted police In advance. On either side OF
the street six OF the mounted police rode In
single fle Then camo half OF the mounted
force In wedge formation and next two files
that stretahed clear across the street. River
side Drive as far as you could see from CRAFTS
Tom b south was clear as to the roadway. but the
walks were iammed clear back to the te noes
Along tho fences enterprlsinG fuklrs had
erected miniature stands, made OF soap boxes
and boards and barrels and boards. On these
they sold standing room at % cents, and they
were reaping harvest.
