Julia Ward HoWe's Poem,

come doomed out from the Mayfiower.
1t was 2:21 p. m, and from that time
on there was a continuous flourish OF
welcome all the way up the river. The
river banks, damned as they were
with people, had been silent till now,
but here the sirens broke forth. the
flags and handkerchiefs waved like
mad. and every noise that 1t was pos
sible to conjure up struggled for place
with the roar Of the signal gins
The Half Moon religiously fired two
guns, first from her starboard side and
then from port, as the saluting ships
doomed out their tribute of twenty
one guns apiece. On board the Half
Moon, between the roar of the guns.
could occasionally be distinguished the
Dutch song, "Wilheimus OF Nassau"
The foreigners were all playing 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" but 1t was
rather hard to hear 1t until you got
up to the Germans. who made 1t sound
out over the Hudson as it never has
before.
At first the warships were so far

Italians and the French were reached
the distance was so slight that the
salutes from both guns doomed out to-

fiedly on to One Hundred and Tenth
street, where she came to anchor.
There was a long wait then for the

der her own steam and was therefore
at a disadvantage She finally hove
in sight, and the rest of the parade
came along quietly with her.
An Unprecedented Multitude.
Never has there been seen such a
crowd on Riverside drive. From the
river it seemed as If every inch of it
was black with people, and the Pal
isades opposite were just as damned.
The docks and piers along the river
swarmed with people, and alongside
each one were lying barges and scows
almost dipping below the water line
with the crowds they had aboard.
At s o'clock the ceremonies were
over, and the ships turned back to the
accompaniment of salutes by squadron

WATER GATE.
from the big gray and white vessels
that lay along the river. Fifteen min
utes later boat crew after boat crew
Of sailors on shore leave was darting
for the nearest landing, and the great
crowd that was coming back from the
riverside was inundating subway, troll
ley and elevated.
At night from one side Of each river
to the other New York was blaze Of
such light as she had never seen. 1t
was intended in this night celebration
to make the town and its environs one
glorious beam of light, to turn night
into day.
From the high vantage points, the
Times building, the Singer building, the
Metropolitan tower and elsewhere,
there was spread out a bew1hering,
changing, shifting city Of light. The
central point was the water gate at
One Hundred and Tenth street; but,
20 far as light was concerned, that was
eclipsed by the unprecedented battery
Of searchlights at One Hundred and
Fifty-third street and for the ordinary
observer who had to view the town
comprehensively from his housetop by
the great lighting Of the bridges, a
sight never seen before in the world,
for no other city In the world has ever
had a chance to light up as many
bridges Of so great an extent at any
one time, and as their great and grace
full shapes took on light with the COM
ing Of dark it is safe to say that the
spectacle will not soon be surpassed in
this world, where it never before has
been equaled.
The Hudson q Glorious Sight.
But the glorious sight was the Hud-
son river as seen by hundreds Of thou
sands from the drive. Before s O'Clock
the Jersey shore had turned white
with light, every business house and
factory and residence along 1t having
blazed forth with a myriad Of electric
bulbs or festooned itself with curious
electric combinations. And then, ex-
actly at 8. the punctual warships turn
ed loose their lighting. and all the way
up "Hudson's river" from Forty
fourth street to Two Hundred and
Twenty street, there cleaned
against the dark the forms Of war
ships outlined in light.
Skeleton warships they seemed as
the night grew bAcker, for nothing OF
them could be seen except the glowing
outlines that were traced against the
night. They looked like ships made Of
fireworks. And when one remembers
that there were fifty-seven of them
lined up In the Hudson and tries TO
conjure up the idea OF that great pro
cession. ten miles long. all outlined in
fire against the blackness. he may be
abe to get some idea Of the splendor
of the sight.
The great Inf1exible. the British war
ship that was the real heroine OF the
show, made the most beautiful spec-
tacle as she lay outlined In light In the
river. Between her masts glittered
fri electric lights a splendid jeweied
crown. But Uncle Sans warships and
the big French battieships were lit

An Unparalleled Feature.
