me, Mr.. Mayor, to express in words"
At this point he was interrupted
with cheers and began again.
"It would be quite impossible to
express in words how deeply | am
moved by this-all these bonors, after
one another-that beautiful cup, free
dom Of the city, this great magnificent
reception. l cannot say what | want
to, but speaking for myself and the
gallant squadron | had the honor to
command at Manila, 1 thank you
from the bottom of my heart"
After the formal ceremonies. Dewey
went about shaking hands with his
friends.
"Come here, all you captains" he
said, addressing the naval captains
present. Then he introduced each to
the audience. Captain Lamherton,
of the Olympia" he cried. Captain
Wilde, of the Boston Captain Cogh.
Ian, OF the Raleigh; Captain Dyer, OF
the Baltimore; Captain Wood, of the
Petrel; Captain Walker, of the Con-
cord"
When the captains had all assem-
bled, he waved his hands toward them
and said: "These are the men who
did it. These are the men who
should be thanked; without them
could do nothing"
General Miles arrived just as the
party left the platform for the carri-
ages. Rear Admiral Sampson did not
arrive in time to witness the prcsenta-
ton of the cup.
After the ceremony, the party en-
tered the carriages and were driven to
Warren street pier, where they board
ed the steamer Sandy Hook and were
taken to Claremont. The trip to the
city dock was uneventful except that
a large crewd was constantly cheering
the occupants of the carriages.
Dewey acknowledged the applause by
raising his hat. The trip up the
Hudson on board the Sandy Hook
was without hitch and the boat ar
rived at the foot of Nineteenth street
at 1870. Dewey was in fine spirits,
although he complained OF a slight
cold and said he would wear his
shoulder cape during the parade.
General Miles was one of the first to
greet him on the boat. To General
Miles the Admiral said:
"Miles, it is regular soldier weather,
isn't it?"
"Not exactly" replied Miles. "I'd
call it Dewey weather."
When the Admiral reached the pa
rade starting point it was all the po-
lice could do to keep the crowd from
overrunning the carriage. The bands
all started up" Hail to the Chief" un-
til hundred bands were playing it,
but the air could be heard only once
in while for the tremendous cheer
ing.
Governor Roosevelt followed the
Admiraps carriage to the starting
point and took up position near by.
The AdmiraPs carriage, drawn by four
horses, was driven to the head of the
line. As the parade got in motion
every style of craft with q whistle or
other noise-making power availed it.

Sousa's band playing a spirited air
and behind it was the battalion of
sailors from the Olympia. Then fol.
lowed the carriage containing Dewey,
by whose side was seated the Mayor OF
the city. In response to the cheers
of thousands of spectators, the Admi-
raj bowed right and left and appeared
greatly pleased at the warmth of the
reception.

Crowds applauded, with all their
might, the $50 men from the Olympia.
"There are the boys who did the
trick" shouted gray-bearded men,
and this sentiment met with full
agreement of the throng who took up
