sydney. \. S. w, Aug. 2o.-The first day of
the visit of the American battleships to Sydney
has passed and while there have been compar-
atively few official observation-disclosures
being set aside for the public reception and the
official landing-the spirit of cordiality and
whole hearted welcome which fills the people
of the city has found opportunity for express
several minor ways Hundreds OF mar
lcr craft have circled all day long around the
white battleships anchored in the bay and the

the fleet
Lord Northcote gave a dinner this evening

ministers of the state and of the commonwealth,
and number of judges and local naval and

The welcome extended the American fleet has
been very hearty and impressive. The hlllsldes
and the cliffs from Botany Bay up were covered
with people close they could stand Inc
enthusiasm of the welcome accorded US Is al
most beyond belief, and it seems evident that
such a demonstration of kindly feeling must
have more back of IL than mere curiosity ana
excitement It is very pleasing to me to think
that this indicates a real and heartfelt sympathy
between the two English speaking nations which
are united not only Dy ties Of blood but by

] elsewhere. Please extend my thanks TO the peo-
pie and the authorities for this magnificent and
warm hearted reception.
