somehow, seemed subtly to change

burn itself out.
The second convention and the
subsequent bitterness of the cam
paign agitated the recluse to such
an extent that there were times
when in persistent perusal of news

things, evidencing a rare absent
mindedness. For the first time
since his servants had known him,

Fulton. The river that Hudson louhu
and where Fulton set his steamboat
was the place toward which the eyes
of 5000, 600 persons turned lot 'he
most impressive pageant that eVel
aoated in the New York harbor. "A
thousand vessels, varying in type from
the one-man catboat to the mlghIy
cruiser Inhexible, were there; nifty
seven warships, representing the ma
vies of the United States, Great Brlt-
ain, Germany, France, Italy, Holland
Mexico and Argentina, 100000 tons OF
steel, bearing $4,000 officers and men
and armed with 1897 guns.

sailing craft and small launches. All
but the greatest and least OF these
craft met in the upper bay for the pa
rade that escorted the Half Moon ana
the Clermont up the Hudson. n war
ships remained at their anchorages.
The days first spectacle-not count
ing the grim line Of warships in the
North River-was the assembling OF
the naval pageant in the upper bay.
Four American cruisers and five sub
marines were assigned to escort the
Half Moon and the Clermont- The
Clermont was towed from its ancho-
age to join the Half Moon. Then, with
the escort trailing in the rear, the two
little craft which epitomiZe the cele'
bration cruised along the Brooklyn
shore in sight of the spectators. Mean
while the rest of the parade was as
sembling and when the Half Moon and
Clermont finished their round of the
upper bay and sailed into the mouth OF
the Hudson they fell into line.
1t was not until l o'clock that the
mass Strengthened out into something
like procession formation. The boats
moved up the Hudson in double line
at a speed of eight miles an hour. but
such was the number of participants
that the column was nearly fifteen
miles long.
At night, with scarcely enough in
terval to allow the crowds to get din
ner, the participants in the gay parade
moved over the same route, while the
river was ~gorgeously decorated. By
far the most enjoyable feature Of the
celebration was the fireworks display

city. Millions witnessed the scene.

Having successfully buffetted the Ice
packs Of Smith sound and proved her
self SO stout a ship that no sea of ice
foe could turn her back, the Roose-
welt met with an accident in the most
tranquil part Of the Hudson, just be-
low West Point. Friday afternoon. She
parted her port tiller rope and came
to a stop. The mishap was quickly
discovered by Commander Peary and
anchor was dropped while the rope
was spliced. But there was q delay
of nearly an hour before the boa pro-
cesded toward Newburgh.
