NAVAL PARADE.
The day Of the naval pageant was fine,
and nothing happened to mar the cere-
monies and display. The Olmypia headed
the magnificent North Atlantic Squadron,
escorted by the steamer containing the
Mayor and other dignitaries, followed by
a thousand vessels OF peace, each TERED
and coated black with people, and all in
gala array, over the bright waters OF the
upper bay and up the broad pathway
Of the sunlit river, whose banks were
thick with American citizens and gay
with millions Of flags and stream
ers. It is estimated that 3,0Oo,0 people
any other which New York has ever
seen. Dewey foated the old flag Admiral
Farragut floated when he ran the forts at
New Orleans, which had been presented to
him, and the breaking Of its folds from
the peak was signal for a tremendous
der was burned in salutes adoat and ashore,
and the people yelled themselves hoarse.
The night was made beautiful with a dis
play of fireworks and electrical effects, the
like of which New York has seldom seen.
Admiral Dewey again expressed himself
