Colonel Roosevelt arrived at TIE l.'
terry the boats were still moving W
the river. The nearest approach to
the demonstration was the trip up
the same river in 1899 of Admiral
Dewey and the Olympia on his re-
turn to the United States after his
triumph at Manila.
People Pack Water Front.
The water front on both sides Of
the Hudson was black with people,
special grandstands being erected on
many of the piers, and exorbitant
prices were charged for seats.
1t was about II o'clock when Col
onel Roosevelt and the reception
committee disembarked at the Bat
terry, where Mayor Gaynor awaited
them. Every available foot of ground
not guarded with physical force by
the police was occupied, and 1t was
with difficulty that Broadway was
kept clear for the land parade.
The debarkatiOn was the signal for
the start of hoarse roar from the
crowd, which was but temporarily
checked by the presidential salute Of
81 guns from the North Carolina.
The arrangements at the Battery
were so perfect that Colonel Roose-
welt was landed without inconveni-
ence and made his way on raised
walk from the pier to the platform
facing Battery park In comparative
comfort. The windows and roofs OF
surrounding skyscrapers reflected the
masses Of people on the Hudson's
shores, and no point Of vantage was
too dangerous to lack an occupant.
| According to the committees pro-
gram, the ceremonies of welcome
were brief. The advance of Mr.
Roosevelt to the front Of the plat.
form was the signal for marvellous
demonstration, during which time he
renewed his acquaintance with May
or Gaynor and others and then wait

noise would die away, and then the

spontaniety greeted Colonel Theo-

vigorously enthusiastic acknowledge

appreciation of the greatest recep-
