up the river for the yatchts 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 feet was Immediately 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
frantically 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 two
or three hundred thousand 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.

A Magnificent Display.

Never before in the history of New
York has this city witnessed a greater
pyrotechnic and electrical display than
that with which the return of Admiral
George Dewey was celebrated in the
harbor and waters surrounding the
Island Of Manhattan tonight.
The great hulks of the battleships of
Dewey's fleet, silhouetted against the
dark background of the sky, shone
from stem to stern with myriads of in
candescent lights, while all around in
Vulnerable brilliantly decorated yachts
and other river craft honored the ma
tons hero
Crowds occupied every point of want
age along the New York shore from
Grants tomb to Fifty-ninth street One
hundred thousand men, women and
children, at a conservative estimate,
saw the illumination from Riverside
drive.
Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht Erin was
brilliantly lighted with streamers Of
lights and the name Erin in green be-
tween the masts. From the bay the

n THRILLING TRIBUTE
The Events of the Great Day as Seen From
the Bridge of the olympia-A Marvellous
Fleet of Steel Thunderers Followed
in the Wake Of the Flagship

New York, Sept. 29.-No Roman con-
queror returned to his triumph of bar
barrie splendor; no victorious king CT
prince coming home from successful war
ever received such a magnificent ova-
tion as overwhelmed Admiral Dewey
to-day as he stood on the bridge of the
Olympia at the head of a magnificent
fleet of steel thunderers of the deep, fol-
lowed by a thousand vessels of peace,
each TERED and coated black with peo-
pie and sailed over the bright waters
of the upper bay and up the broad path
way of the sunlit river, whose banks
were gay with millions of flags and
streamers dancing in the wind.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-30

Just see them over there; did you ever
see so many people? It's wonderful!
Marvellous! l could not believe 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 his
head as he thought of the chances Of
getting the Erin through the mass. In
going by the training ship Portsmouth
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, yells and whistles from those on
shore until Sir Thomas sides fairly
shook with laughter as he said: "They
must all have money on the Sham
rock"
1t took nearly an hour for the head
of the yacht fleet TO reach the turning
point off Fort Lee, but the Corsair
finally swung around and headed down
toward the Olympia. At the same time
half hundred excursion boats, tugs

The sky was blue, the water ripped
under the fresh wind that held out flags
straight and jaunty and the wharves
ana piers and rocky heights and grassy
knobs were black with frantic, enthu-
siastic people, who strived with each
other to make their shouts heard above
the perfect Bedlam of footing whistles
that accompanied the admiral ashore
and afloat.
