DEWEY, THE HERO.
People in New York Went Wild Over
 Him Last Night,

New York. March 27.-Admral Dew
 ey, with his escort, had not advanced
 two feet from the entrance toward the
 arena in Madison Square Garden last 1 night before the people caught sight of him. Then. as though by word of
 command, they arose in their places
 and broke out&sot with three cheers. but with three times three. and the cheers ran into each other until they became one prolonged roar. Hats were waved, umbrellas were brandished. | and one enthusiast forming part of the human fringe perch ed on the edge of the wooden barrier at the Fourth
 avenue end of the building threshed l his arms about with such vigor that
 he lost his balance and disappeared be- | hind the fence with alarming sudden | ness.
 The admiral was in full uniform. | He acknowledged the vociferous re-
 ception. lowing to the right and the

 NeWcomb. who commanded the Huron. 1he United States troops. the blueiack- cts and marines. the naval militia and detachnentS from the National Guard were marching to their positions for reVleW aS he came in. and every jackie l in the line looked rao1v +o dofv dis clpline and join with the spectators in | the greeting.
 It was great night for Jack. He didn't march as well as the soldiers. of course. and he was a little awkward with his gun. but nobody cared for that. He was the favorite by long l odds. and he couldn't do anything
 that wasn't just the right thing. An accident. at first thought to be serious. happened during the exhibi- tion of rough ridine from the Usma detachment of the Tinted States cav airy from West Point. Private Thom- as Cody fell between two horses while attempting to leap from the ground to the back of one while rising over bar. His scalp was cut and he was kicked in the stomach. He was carried off on a stretcher, and q physician at tended him in the basement, and said he would be all right again by this 1 morning.
 There was more recklessness in the rough riding than on Monday. and this
 was in measure responsible for the accident which befeIl Private Cody. He had ridden and leaped successful lV riding single and double. and showed great agility in mounting and swinging himself from one horse to the other. Two of his comrades were astride a bay and a chestnut in the event which requires a third man to run with his hand on the bride close to the hit and to spring inst as the horses forefeet are lifting for jump.
 Cody had hold of the bav. which did not go over the bar simultaneous lv with its mate. and miscalculated his distance. Instead of landing on the first horses back. he slipped between the two. After having his head ban daged he was taken to tho office of Dr Robert NJ. Daley. No 117 East Twenty seventh street, and kept there for the night.
 Fighting Joe'' Wheeler came in while the cavalrymen were riding. and entered the box with Admiral Dewey. He was in civilian dress, but was recognized and app1auded.
 When the tackles from the Hartford came in with their barred throats. the spectators gave them round after round of applause. They went through ex- ercises in calisthenics and the manual of arms. as the air of ''Strike Up the Band. Here Comes the Sailor," was played. and then the boys went through the regulation battalion drill.
 If there was any division of favor by the spectators, between soldiers and sailors. it was when Troop c of Brooklyn cantered in under command of Captain c. I. De Bevrose and gave a musical ride. The horses seemed to catch the spirit of the thing. and their hoofbeats were in Thy thmic time to the music of the band. Then the. troop went through sabre exercise. SwiShing and cutting and thrashlne at imagi- nary enemies on either side, at the flank and in front
 The United States and marine corps gave the manual of arms and a bat tery drill. and the Fourth battery field artillery displayed its skill in driving at a hard gallop between wooden rails that were within two inches of the
 hubs of the caissons.
 
 Ned Hanlon is reported to have said: eff Sheckard does not play on the Brooklyn club. this year, see me, and will give you the richest and raciest story ever published about base ball A--D D- J.
