The. Erin headed the starbQard COL

and the NourmahaI right astern, while
The Narga, with Howard Gould on
board, headed the port column, with
the New Josephine of Mr.. Joseph n.
Widener right behind her
The Erin was continuously saluted on
the way up, and the man on the after
deck, beside the flagstaff, which carried
the big yacht pennant, was continu-
ously dipping it in return.
Everything seems to be going first
Glass; said Sir Thomas, as the yacht
neared the battery, land the parade is
certainly a great success"
Sir Thomas Elated.
Looking over through the tremendous
crowd that covered the wharves and
battery, he shouted down to those on
deck:l
Just see them over there; did you
ever see so many people? It's wonder
full, marvellous; / could not have be-
lieved that so many people could be
gotten together
When off Twenty-third street Sir
Thomas became exercised at the con-
gestion of boats ahead, and shook MS
head as he thought of the chances of
getting the Erin5through the mess. In

the jackies lined the rail and gave the
Erin a tremendous cheer, which was
answered from the crew of the Erin on
the far deck. Then came more cheer
ing, .tells and whistles from those on
shore, until Sir Thomas sides fairly
shook with laughter. as he said:
They must all have money on the
Shamrock"
Took Nearly an Hour.
1t took nearly an hour for the head of
the yacht fleet to reach the turning
point of Fort Lee, but the Corsair fin
ally swung around and headed down
toward the Olympia. AT the same time
half hundred excursion boats. tugs
and launches which had been waiting
UP the river for the yachts to appear,
Joined in, so that a solid column came
sweeping down ON Admiral Dewey The
Erin was in the center of this great
mass of boats, and the formation of the
yacht club fleet was at, once lost.
The great mass swept by the Olympia
five and six abreast, but fortunately the
course was comparatively clear when
she went by, and Admiral Dewey was
easily recognized, waving his hat fran
sticallys at Sir Thomas as he stood on
the after bridge. The crew of the
Olympia also recognized the Erin, and
gave her a tremendous cheer, which
was returned by the entire company
on board the Irish yacht, while the big
fleet of excursion steamers and the
100000 or 100000 people on shore
cheered.
The Erin ran down the river until
she reached Hoboken, where she took
up her position to see the illumination
in the river this evening.

them, ahead and aStern, were the har-
Dor fire boats, spouting great columns
of water, that turned threateningly to-
ward the excursion boats on either side
when they attempted to crowd the
line of march.
But the pageant back of this power
full vanguard was not limited to a sin
gle nor a sextuple line of ships. 1t was
sinuous marine monster half a mile
wide, whose vertebrae were the ships
of the white squadron and whose ribs
were rows upon rows of every sort of
floating thing that had ever run by
steam in New York harbor.
Thousands viewed the spectacle as it
moved up past Staten island; thousands
more watched it from the anchored
craft that crowded the Erie basin, and
whose spars rose in a forest about the
foot of Liberty, but they were forgot

island and filled every point of vantage
along the Jersey shore.
Give Admiral's Salute.
This feature of the scene first broke
on the view as Castle William roared
an admirals salute to the Olympia off
the battery. BY the time the answer
and smoke had died away from the
wake of the flagship. the immensely of
the watching crowd dawned on the
crews of the squadron Every foot of
the city water front was a mass OF hui
mainly. The wharves, the ferry slips,
the roofs Of ferry and warehouse rose
one above another in solid blocks of
people.
Above the lower structure of the
wafer front every roof bore its living
freight Stores, old Office buildings and
modern scrapers were crowded with
stands, tiers upon tiers of seats like an
immense theatre, whose roof was the

turn, each sauting the tomb, though
at the head of the line the sound Of
further guns was lost in the roar of
steam whistles. {
The turn of the parade broke the for
nation of the police boats beyond re-
pair. The warships doubling back into
the mass of advancing boats threat
ened for time serious consequences,
but the Olympia and her consorts safe
" dropped anchor at last in reversed
column and the water pageant passed
the admiral in review.
The police boats reappeared as indi-
vidualS and unceremoniously should
cred intruding vessels out of the line of
march, The official procession and its
varied following of tugs, launches, steam
dredges and excursion boats rounded
the st. Mary's and came down the river
in an indistinguishable aquatic mob
that was still passing long after the
night illumination had begun.
Ovation to Upton.
From the time the British yacht
Erin started she certainly was the chief
attraction along the river front after
the Olympia had gone by, and Sir
Thomas Upton was accorded an ova-
ton all along the line.
To those on board the Erin, decked
out as she was with flags of all ma
tons, it looked as if the American peo-
pie were greatly pleased with Sir
Thomas and were delighted at an OPP
portunity to give him a hearty well
come. They ran alongside ins tugs,
barges, launches and big excursion
steamers and shouted all sorts of COM
plimentary things to him, while the
tall yachtsman ON the upper bridge Of
the Erin wore a smile and not infre-
quently called back his thanks for the
kind wishes.
Sir Thomas had on board many of
his friends on this side of the water
and from England, and the company,
during the latter part of the afternoon,
we're kept busy returning the cheering
which was hurled at the Erin from all
sides.
Among those who watched the parade
from the decks of the Erin were Prince
Reginald de Croy of Belgium and the
Hon. Charles Russell of London.
Cheering and Whistling.
Even before the Erin had weighed
anchor half a dozen tugs had come
alongside and the cheering and whist
ling rang in the ears until the end of the
day began.
After the signal for the start was
given, the Corsair led, followed by a
magnificent string of steam yachts
smothered in flags in two long lines.

sky, whose walls We're the surrounding
hills and whose back was the horizon
of the lower bay.
As the pageant moved majestically
into the Hudson, it was seen that the
crowd still lined the water front and
house tops, thicker, if possible, than
ever, and stretching up the river along
the whole line of parade.
Shores Black With People.
The heights of Jersey side were also
crowned with parti-colored masses Of
people They were not such an I'M
broken rank as along the wharves of
the side, but wherever the wooded
slopes broke into a clearing the slope
was blackened with people from crest
to water line.
There was no possible way of esti-
mating the crowd. The morning papers
declared there were 100000 visitors in
the city. The impression conveyed by
the crowded shores was that it would
have taken that many in addition to the
local population to form the concourse
that watched the water pageant. The
spectators might have been computed
in army corps, certainly not by indi-
viduals.
Up the Hudson pandemonium reigned

walls overhead in puffs of white smoke,
end a feathery canopy of steam hung
over the advancing fleet as hundreds of
steam whistles screamed continually.
The narrowing throat of the river
crowded the advancing vessels together
in almost compact mass. The broad
arrow formation still drove the head
of the column forward unmolested
through the ranks of the waiting YES
sells.
Storm King Was Kind.
Storm clouds that had gathered down
the bay followed close in the pageant s
wake. A sharp wind bred whitecaps
even in the narrow river, and a few
raindrops battered on the decks. The
glare of an angry sky lured the har-
Dor behind the warships to molten lead,
upon which the gigantic figure of Lib
erty seemed to stand for a time and
was soon swallowed in a bank of gray
haze.
Then the threatening sky relented.
The sun broke out ahead and painted

across the sullen clouds a rainbow
arch that stretched from Manhattan
to the Jersey shore. 1t seemed bit
of natures art work spread by kingly
miracle at the opportune moment, beg-
caring mans more humble efforts on
shore, but forming a fitting arch of
triumph, beneath which the victorious
admiral sailed to his triumphal anchor
age.

the rigging as the Olympia passed, and

might be better prep red to consider it's
sins of omission or commission; but there
is really little to distinguish it from
former sessions 1t moved along in about
the same old ruts, and the motive power

The man who goes to the legislature to
save money and prevent appropriations
for local or individual interests, finds a
thorny path awaiting him, and if he in
sists upon his objections very soon loses
Influence, even with those who naturally
would sympathize. The fact is somebody
in almost every district wants a pull at
the treasury and those who think alike
very soon come together and work to-
getber.
But while we credit individual members
of he legislature with the best of inten-
tions, and with doing all in their power
under the circumstances, it is we'll to give
warning that there must be day of reck-
oning sometime. We cannot go on year
