Vermont and Mrs. Prouty, members of
the Hudson-Fulton commission and orner
official guests. They were greeted by
Mayor McClung and former Governor Ben
jamin Il. Odell, and were escorted by a
where the formal transfer of the Half
Moon and Clermont took place.
Besides the CIermont,, when it came to
anchor in Newburgh bay, lay the Norwich
of Rondout, N. Y, the oldest steamer in
the world" which for seventy-six years
has been in active service. Will its low
hull, no higher above the water than a
shingle, n its "saw-pit" engine, it pre-
scented a figure but little less curious than
its prototype.
Parade at Newburgh.
By the time the parade was ready to
start the streets were packed with a dense
crowd. 1t was similar to the one in New
York, although on a smaller scale. On the
reviewing stand Governor Hughes and
other visitors were seated. Sailors and
marines from the United States scout and
armored cruisers received great ovation.
When the men from the cruiser New York
passed the executive stand the spectators
arose enmasse and cheered them heartily.
The North Carolina, Montana, Birmingham
and Salem were also enthusiastically re-
ceived.
A living flag" composed OF 500 school
children dressed in the appropriate colors,
greeted the parading soldiers and sailors
at one stage of their march,
It was not until after the second division
of the parade had passed the receiving
stand that the Roosevelt, Commander
Peary's Arctic exploration ship, put in an
appearance far down the river with a tug
alongside. 1t had been delayed by a mis-
hap but finally reached an anchorage. not
far from where the Clermont and Half
Moon were lying. Commander Peary
came ashore and returned quietly to New
York by train.
Tomorrow the Half Moon and Clermont
with their naval escort will weigh anchor
for -Poughkeepsie, where another day OF
celebration awaits them on Monday.
Hudson and Fulton Sail.

which have played so prominent a part in
the Hudson-Fulton week were formally
turned over today to the keeping of the
celebrations Upper Hudson commission
by General Stewart l., Woodford, presi'
dent of the Lower Hudson commission.
Mayor Benjamin McClung welcomed the
distinguished guests to Newburgh and Gov
ernor Hughes paid his tribute in a brief
address.
Lieutenant Lam. im~personator of Henry
Hudson; Charles r. Bullock, the Robert
Fulton of the present Clermont, and repre-,
sentatives from The Netherlands were also
introduced during the brief ceremony at
the pier. The steamer Trojan. carrying
members of the legislature and state Of
ficials, was the first of the big river boats

the symbolism and the life of the Hudson
Fulton celebration. They left New York
today as types and representations; they
will return after a space as museum
curios.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the vessels of the
escort squadron, carrying 500, 900 passengers.
fell into line in the North river. noses up
stream. The Dutch cruiser Utrecht, the
United States scout cruisers Salem and
Birmingham, the submarines and their
parent ship, the Castine, together with the
gunboats and naval auxlliaries, had pre-
ceded them and the only ships Of war
in line were the destroyer Worden and the
six torpedo boats, which followed 1t at 100
yards intervals. Behind them came a fif-
teen-mile string of Hudson river and Long
IslaTI sound liners among the largest in
land water passenger ships in the world,
converted for the day into excursion steam
ers. They were as crowded as on the day
of the first naval parade and all the way
up the river they passed between long
files of sightseers ashore.
Robert Fulton In Lead.
The Robert Fulton, carrying the origi-
nal ships bell of the first Clermont,
and commanded by Captain George A,
White, president of the Passenger Carry
ing Lines Association of America, led
the way with the most distinguished
guests and officials. Aboard the Fulton
were the governor of New York and his
staff, the governor Of Vermont and his
guards of honor, the ministers of Spain
and Portugal, the visiting officers Of
the foreign fleets, their hosts; the Hud-
son-Fulton Celebration commission and,
appropriately enough, his honor, Henry
Hudson. the mayor of Hudson, n. Y. On
the three succeeding ships were the in
vited guests or the commission, the New
York state officials other than the gov
ernor and the New York City officials.
Grand Admiral Won Rooster had his first
chance to compare the Hudson and the
Rhine from the deck of a steam yacht.
Pageant I'm Brooklyn.
The repetition in Brooklyn today of the
historical pageant, which was held in New
York on Tuesday was Witnessed by
enormous crowds, but only half of the
original fifty-four floats were to be seen,
owing to the fact that about half of the
floats, which were to-have been taken
over to Brooklyn on scows, did not arrive
on time. Factories, offices, stores and
schools generally in and around Brooklyn
declared a half holiday today and thou
sands Of persons came from all over Long
Island. The Brooklyn crowd was esti-
mated at close to a million.
Tomorrow there will be children's eT-
%erclses, designed TO fulfin the educational
intent of the celebration throughout ali
the boroughs Of New York, and shared in,
it is estimated, by 100000 school children.
There will be historical exercises at Stony
Point battlefield, with an address by Gov
ernoI Hughes and the dedication Of a
monument by the Daughters Of the Revolu-
ton. At night comes the carnival H.
