orange and olive groves on the way
More than a hundred citizens ac-
companied the officers, and forty-four
automobiles were required to accom-
modate the party. Boat races on the
bay during the morning, a baseball
game this afternoon, horseback rides.
trolley excursions, and sightseeing
tours occupied the attention of the
1000 sailors who came ashore on
liberty. All of the sixteen vessels OF
| the fleet, at anchor on Coronad),
were thrown open to visitors during
the day and launches had all they
could do to handle the throngs. The
third day of the fleets stay ended to-
night with an extensive fireworks
display from a barge anchored in the
