Show THE UNITED STATES HONORS ITS SAILOR HERO BY IHE7 GRANDEST < NAVAL DISPLAY EVER WITNESSED IN MICN WATERS I MilLIONS OF PEOPLE SAn S SEE THE S GREAT PARADE Of WARSHIPS IAn I-An Extravagant Marine Pageant of White Painted S Sea Fighters and Peaceful Craft Shores For Miles Black With Multitude Frenzied to Pay Homage to Admiral Dewey New York Sept 29The naval parade pa-rade from the vantage points of the warships was an immense marine picture pic-ture a water pageant with so little of Incident compared with its great size that it appealed to the eye as a painting paint-ing rather than a drama The vast gathering of water craft maintained an average speed of eight knots but so magnificent was its are that the impression was one of exceedingly exceed-ingly slow and stately movement The picture was continually changing but it melted so slowly and in srch measured meas-ured rythme from form to form that the sense of motion was largely lost It started under a brilliant sky pasue at the mouth of the Hudson through the threat of an ugly storm and emerged through a rainbow arch that stretched from shore to shore into a clear and brilliant sunset off the Grant tcmb The night had been a busy one in the fleet of warships off Tonipkinsville The last details of he days ceremony were hardly settled before the day itself broke on a scene of greater ativity than the classic anchorage had tver witnessed before The Great White Squadron The great vessels of the whit squadron squad-ron swung at heir anchorage as for the past two days but the crowd of neighboring craft had been swelled past counting As far as touhl he ten the water was a mass of steamers it was a moving shifting picuire of tugs police po-lice boats fire boats torpedo boats yachts launches tramp steimers and ocean liners and iling craft er every kind with big ferry and excursion boats ploughing their way through the ruck in mysterious paths that opened before them ano closed again behind them like the ice of an Ai tiCj fljje d The only stable poihs Tn the ceop at the early hour were the warships They 1 lay like agr6atwKite grounded berg about which the pack ice turned arid I swirled without moving them from I their moorings It was a morning of repressed excitement on board the New York and the other ships behind the I Olympia Everything had been cleaned I and burnished from ram to rudder Movements of the Fleet I Noon was ushered in with a scream of whistles that sdunded like 10000 crUft The last faraway echo had hardly drifted back from the Staten island hills when a sudden impulse seemed to seize the farreaching mass of tugs and other craft Instead of drifting Idly round and round the warships war-ships like chips in an eddy they began to steam away to the south In parallelS I parallel-S line as though some current was bearing bear-Ing them out to sea But as they vanished van-ished in scores toward the narrows there were hundreds more that swept down from up the harbor Then there was a scurrying home of the white hooded steam cutters of the ships The great boat cranes amidships amid-ships reached down their grappling hooks and whisked the pinnaces aboard megaphone commands flung across the water brought the torpedo boats to keel like the greyhounds they were at the Olympiads quarter The brilliant code flags blossomed like flowers flow-ers on the Olympia from bridge to maintop It was the order to form In column The Brooklyns pennant snapped Aye aye from the signal yard and a duplicate set of flags passed the qrder to the Indiana whence it was flung from ship to ship down the scuadron The Olympia Under Way The black speed cone of the Olympia I climbed slowly to her yards as the big I cruicer got under way The other vessels ves-sels slowly turned like a troop of cavalry cav-alry squadron front toward the narrows nar-rows and then fetching a graceful sweep headed back up the harbor toward to-ward the battery the Olympia escort I ed by the mayors boat the Sandy Hook In the lead Back of her at a 400yard interval came the New York then the powerful power-ful Indiana and Massachusetts the fleetfooted Brooklyn the sturdy old 1 Texas the rakish yachtlike Dblphin the old Lancaster a relic of another aaval age the powerful Chicago and 1 inally the little Marietta the rear uard of the fighting craft Behind 1 tretched the transporter and further til almost lost in the distance the yachts and miscellaneous craft hull down the horizon The evolution began at 1 oclock and in fifteen minutes the fighting line was straightened out up the harbor Admiral Ad-miral Dewey was going to his own place at the head of a squadron that would have won at least three battles of Manila bay without stopping for breakfast Beady For the Parade The head of the column was a broad arrow Six torpedo boats spread out three on a side from the Olympias quarter Outside of them a flying wedge of pollcie patrol boats formed a great V whose apex was the Olympia Flanking The Lab Captain Charles V Gridley of the Olympia them ahead and astern were the harbor har-bor fire boats spouting great columns of water that turned threateningly toward to-ward the excursion boats on either side when they attempted to crowd the line of march But the pageant back of this powerful power-ful vanguard was not limited to a single sin-gle nor a sextuple line of ships It was a sinuous marine monster half a mile wide whose vertebrae were the ships of the white squadron and whose ribs were rows upon rows of every sort of floating thing that had ever I run by steam in New York harbor Thousands viewed the spectacle as it moved up past Staten island thousands more watched it from the anchored craft that crowded the Eie basin and whose spars rose in a forest about the foot of Liberty but they were forgotten forgot-ten in the mass of humanity that I I crowded the water front of Manhattan island and filled every point of vantage along the Jersey shore Give Admirals Salute This feature of the scene first broke on the view as Castle William roared an admirals salute to the Olympia off the battery By the time the answer and moke had died away from the wake of the flagship the immensity of the watching crowd dawned on the crews of the squadron Every foot of the city water front was a mass of humanity hu-manity The wharves the ferry slips the roofs of ferry and warehouse rose one above another in solid blocks of people Above the lower structure of the wafer front every roof bore its living freight Stores old office buildings and modern scrapers were crowded withstands with-stands

and stretching up theriver along the whole line of parade Shores Black With People The heights of Jersey side were also crowned with particolored masses of people They were not such an unbroken un-broken rank as along the wharves of the side but wherever the wooded slopes broke into a clearing the slope was blackened with people from crest to water line There was no possible way of estimating I esti-mating the crowd The morning papers declared there were 1500000 visitors In the city The impression conveyed by the crowded shores was that It would have taken that many in addition to the local l population to form the concourse that watched the water pageant The spectators might have been computed In army corps certainly not by individuals Indi-viduals Up the Hudson pandemonium reigned supreme Aerial bombs broke at intervals inter-vals overhead in puffs of white smoke end a feathery canopy of steam hung over the advancing fleet as hundreds of steam whistles screamed continually The narrowing throat of the river crowded the advancing vessels together in almost compact mass The broad arrow formation still drove the head of the column forward unmolested through the ranks of the waiting vessels ves-sels S Storm King Was Kind t Storm clouds that had gathered down the bay followed close in the pageants wake A sharp wind bred whitecaps even in the narrow river and a few raindrops pattered on the decks The glare of an angry sky lured the harbor har-bor behind the warships to molten lead upon which the gigantic figure of Liberty Lib-erty seemed to stand for a time and was soon swallowed in a bank of gray haze Then the threatening sky relented The sun broke out ahead and painted T + + + + + + 1 + + + + + + + + t + + + + + + + 4 + 4 + + + + + + + 4 44 + + + + + +

march The official procession and its varied following of tugs launches steam dredges and excursion boats rounded the St Marys and came down the river in an indistinguishable aquatic mob that was still passing long after the night illumination had begun Ovation to Lipton From the time the British yacht Erin started she certainly was the chief attraction along the river front after the Olympia had gone by and Sir Thomas Lipton was accorded an ovation ova-tion all along the line To those on board the Erin decked out as she was with flags of all nations na-tions it looked as if the American people peo-ple were greatly pleased with Sir Thomas and were delighted at an oPportunity op-portunity to give him a hearty welcome wel-come They ran alongside in > tugs barges launches and big excursion steamers and shouted all Sorts of complimentary com-plimentary things to him while the tall yachtsman on the upper bridge of the Erin wore a smile and nQt Infrequently Infre-quently called back his thankH for the kind wishes Sir Thomas had on board many of his friends on this side of the water and from England and the company during the latter l part of the afternoon were kept l busy returning the cheering which was hurled at the Erin from all sides a Among those who watched theparade from the decks of the Erin were Prince Reginald de Croy of Belgium and the Hon Charles Russell of London Cheering and Whistling Even before the Erin had weighed anchor half a dozen tugs had come alongside and the cheering and whistling whist-ling rang in the ears until the end of the day began S

of the Olympia also recognized the Erin and gave her a tremendous cheer which was returned by the entire company on boa d the Irish yacht while the big flee f of excursion steamers and the 200000 or s
