Greatest Peaceful Marine Display in History, Imposing Parade by War Ships at New York. RAIN SPOILS THE EFFECT. Thunderous Salutes by the Cruisers' Heavy Guns. The Dolphin with the Presidential Party on Board Hans the Gantlet Between the Double Line of Uattle Ships Gaily Decorated with Flags and Hunting The Caravels The Columbian Hall for the Character of Its Guests and the Magnificent Display a Record Breaker. New York, April 27. Rain on the roof, rain on 10,000 roofs, rain washing the sidewalks and pave, rain drops pricking the river surface into a rash of white spatter, rain wetting the decks and rigging of the pulseless war monsters riding at anchor, wetness above, moisture below, permeating, saturating everything, everywhere euch were the conditions of the early morning: about this Hag-smothered bunting-decked city. In the night time a storm that had its birth yesterday, away to the westward, had stolen over the Jersey hilU and had settled down upon the city and blotted out the dark brow of the eoa from the view of people ashore. Along; the Hudson cloud and water had become one. The sloping shores were the sides of a great Hume that had no existence to the eye. At the time when the sunlight might otherwise have been brightening the fresh green elopes and the monsters alloat. a dull gray curtain lay low and thickly over all. The night gave wav elowly to the struggling light that camo tlillussdly and apparently without source. A-View at IayllsM. Out on the bosom of the lordly stream, eomewhera in the dense grav fogs, the navies of the nations were aottly chaffed by uneasy tides; but to those who were astir as the daylight wore off the edge of night, the ships bad been spirited away in the darkness and no eye could reach into the gray thickness whero the black waters wallowed about their iron aides. As the growing day advanced, however, a breeze fait its way over the banks and across the waters where the fleets were. It broke its way through the mists, and before the tattered fogs closed in again tho ghostly outlines of masts and the lines of dark hulls appeared and half faded again. Then venturing gusts of air wandered through the fog land, and gradually the little gusts were reinforced until a stream of them flowed over the high river banks and blew away the mists. First the masts and fighting-tops of the war vessels were reveaied, appearing to be suspended in air, the lower cloud concealing all else afloat. Watching from the New York shore the black hulls of tha foreigners were first brought back from cloudland to the sight of man. That was, first, because ti.ey were black painted, and second, because this line lay close to the New York shore. More time was required to bring out the U. h. ships, and for obverse reiaons, because of whiteness and tbeir distance under the Jersey bights. The night-owls and the early dock birds along the docks down about Twenty-seventh and Fiftieth-eta. first got glimpses, however, of the white ships of Spain and Argentina. The great, sharp-pro wed Jean Bart from France, lay only a stone's throw from the end of a dock at Sixteenth-st., and at early dawn on the warf the denizens of "Heli's Kitchen" eaw her black sides break out of the ehreded mists. Under the walls of Riverside drive the starboard squadron grew slowly out of the still air, which the gusty breeze had not yet stirred, but on the level rc actios on the New York shore the low lying clouds were drifting away in tattered acarfa that dieolved slowly on the watersoaked atmosphere. Over on the historic bights of Wenawken and on the cliffs of Guttenburg, early eight-seers were more fortunate.

Hut the day broadened and the two rows of bristling vessels were at length revealed, although dimly at beet, for a persistent spring tide rain was falling, and distances were uncertain and indistinct. Aloft a stifT breeze seemed astir, but without affecting tho heavy conditions. Decorations Spoiled. One of tho most pitiful results of the storm through the night was the wiltered and forlorn-locking condition of the many beautifui decorations of buildings, throughout the city. All their fine ei'ect of yesterday had passed away in the night and the water-soaked bunting was as dull in color as the leaden pkies above. The lings on the house-tops floated heavily in the stiff breeze. Aftsr a while all New York had aroused for its holiday, only to find a Bteady downpour of rain ushering in the day of the great naval pageant. They found a chilly east wind adding to the discomfort, and hundreds of thousands of people who bad arranged to view the grandest marine spectacle ever presented in American waters, if not in the world, wpre disappointed. Although it was a legal holiday in town the early morning crowds on thu elevated trains and surface cars, with the crowds that poured into the citv from the ferries aud across the bridges did not look like holiday crowds. The rain did not keep them all at home, however. There was a steady stream toward the North river all the morning, ami hundreds of excursion boats, stesm yachts, tiK'S and other craft which had been pressed into service were lilted up with eight-seers who were not kept at home by Farmer Dunn's disgraceful weather. Their patriotism and their enthusiasm carried them through the wet. Other crowds, who sought places along tha docks, on tops of buildings end at Kiverside park, plodded through mud and in great pools of water, with umbrellas and mackintoshes keeping out a portion of the wet. Vantage places under cover were in great dacnand, but thousands stood or sat in open air and watched the proceedings on the river. The weather bureau got many imprecations from the shore and on the water. There was great disappointment as the squadrons anchored below the palisades. Craek Ship of Ten Nation. The creek ships of ten nations drawn together at the invitation of the United states to commemorate the fourhundredth anniversary of the discovery of America had been put in readiness for their part of the celebration. Their hulls had been painted, tbeir decks holystoned, their brass work polished until it shone, and their guns had been cleared for far dillerent work than their makers intended the cementing of peacefui relations instead of the havoc of war. On board these vessels the rain was moat unwelcome. It drenched the decks and rigging and hung in pearly drops from the brass work. Dress uniforms were abandoned for storm coats, and the jack tars instead ot being in holiday rig were in every-day attire. President Cleveland, accompanied in a carriage by his wife, secretary and Lieut. Wood, left the Victoria hotel at 1:05 o'clock p. m. Fight minutes later his party arrived at the foot of W. Twenty-third-et.. where a thousand man and women, who had stood in the rain for hours, cheered him enthusiastically. Mrs. Cleveland, enveloped in a tweed cape mackintosh, black felt hat and black veil, was the first to alight, and her appearance was the signal for tho charge to begin. The president followed her, and removing his silk hat, paused for a moment, bowing on ail sides to the assembled people. His cabinet officers had reached the pier before him. Secretary Gresham, Thomas F. Bayard and wife and C. C. Baldwin were the first to arrive a few minutes after 1 o'clock. Lieut. Ilourigan was on the dock to receive the distinguished party and escorted them to the Concord launch. Dan Lamont and his wife appeared next and also went in the launch, which then steamed away and put the party onboard the Concord. Then in rapid succession came Posltn aster-General Wilson Bissell and wife, Attorney-General Olney, Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith and J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture. They boarded another launch which took them out to the Miantonomoh. Salute to the Guest. The Concord and Miantonomoh saluted their respective guests as they arrived. There was no sign of the president and it was feared by the waiting crowd that he would not come. However, his carriage soon came dashing along and set all fears at rest, although he was only seen for a minute while walking from his carriage to the covered launch of the Dolphin that bobbed up and down at the float. Besides him and his wife on the launch there were his secretary, Clarence Bowen of the reception committee and Lieuts. Ilourigan and Spencer Wood, the latter being Secretary Herbert's aide. A man servant and Mrs. Cleveland's maid accompanied the party. The little launch with the president's flag flying started away like a race horse as toon as the company was on board, as if anxious to make up for lost time. She rushed, bobbing up and down, to the Dolphin and t'e party climbed np tho stairway, Mrs. Cleveland again in advance. As soon es the president touched tha deck bang went one of the Dolphin's guns and the president's flag puffed out fron it at tha masthead. Then began a screeching of whistles from U sorts of craft, while the Dolphin, Concord and Miantonomoh fired in turn the presidential salute. The Dolphin forged slowly ahead, surrounded and followed by big and little steamers, crowded

with men and women, famous and unknown to fame, and the great naval review had begun. About the time President Cleveland reached the dock the rain ceased for a time, and Police Inspector McAvoy, who was there with a long line of blue-coats to preserve order, remarked: "Just G rover's luck." From tho top of the New York Central grain elevator, at the foot of W. Sixtiethit, the vitw of the warships presented an imposing spectacle. The building is the highest structure on the water front between the Battery and Harlem. Its location, near the center of the line of warships, made the entire squadron visible. ' A View ni the Ship. Through the mist and falling rain the mimic counterparts of the Columbus fleet could be seen like some phantom craft of of the fifteenth century dimly showing through the lines through the mist of centuries. To the south of them on the New York side lav the British squadron with their black hulls, tad yellow stacks and bristling guns. The cross of St George floated wet and limp in the breeze. Opposite the four Britishers lay our own admiral's ship, the Philadelphia, white and more handsome than ever, the Newark, the Atlanta and the San Francisco. Flags of a 1 nations were suspended from masthead to yards and to the deck, with stars and stripes Hosting over all. In the rear of the ships of her majesty, the queen of England, were the three big Kuseian vessels with their black hulls, heavy masts and projecting guns standing out clearly in the mist Abreast of them the white glistening hulls of the Bancroft, the Beunington and Baltimore formed an effective contrast. The French ships Arethuse, Hussard and Jean Bart swung into the stream just below the Kassians. They were gay and frolicsome with bunting, and the profusion of Hags hid their sharp, warlike appearance. The Jean Bart, with strings of bunting from her fighting-tops, looked less ugly than yesterday, when sh-j was picked out by the majority of visitors as the most fierce-looking fighter in the river. Opposite the Frenchmen were the Chicago, orktowu and Charleston. Next to the latter was the Vesuvius, with her innocent looking dynamite tubes hidden in bunting, which sw ung fore and aft from her two ruaats. Abreast of the Vesuvius was another crater of destruction, the .Etna, Hats hip of the Italian fleet. Near her lay her sister ship, the Giovanna Bausan. South of the Bausan the Infanta Isabel, with her white hull and three bunting-covered masts with the Spanish Hags aft, lay opposite the Neuve do Julio, Argentina's single representative. Juet below her the big black hull and full ship-rigged Van Speyk poked her bowsprit high in the air, and with yards trmirned with buting, made a noticeablo feature. The Keiua K-genta and the Nueve Fspana lay oil' Twenty-eecond-st., and just below them the big Brazilian battlorihip Aquidaban loomed up with her turrets and military masts partially concealed by bunting. In her rear lay the Tirandentes and Kepubiica, her sister ships. Opposite the last of the Spaniards and the first of tho Brazilians the two white German cruisers, Kuiseriu Augusta and Seeadler, with the btura aud stripes alloat, and Hags of all nations swung from yard-arms und peak, waited for an opportunity to belch forth a salute from the fatherland to the homo of so many of her eons. South of the Germans tho low rakish Miantonomoh swung at anchor with a big national tiag at the top of her military mast, and streamers strung fore and aft. All along the Jerpey side of the river excursion steamers, yachts and tugs, loadc-d to the water's edge with people, pliod up and down. A score of tugs kept them irora passing between the two columns of war ships. linoiitiii;; for tin- l'rcslili-iil. The signal boat Cushing scurried up and down the line with orders and the police patrol, assisted by the naval reserves on the tugs, preserved order. The space between the New York shore and the war vessels was kept open so that an unobstructed view of the flet was obtainable from any point on the water front. The blowing of a hundred whistles aud the

booming of guns at 1 :15 announced that the president had embarkud and almost instantly the crews of the men-of-war ail along the line went to positions facing tue rail and at the mastheads and tops. The rain had ceased, and while the clouda liung low overhead there were indications fiat led the anxious spectators to hope for the return of the sun. At 1 iIM th first boom of the ten-inch gun on the Miantonomoh announced lhat the Dolphin, with the president on board, was passing up betwesn the two columns of war vessels. The roar of tho Mianionomoh'd twenty-one guns was followed by a la'ute from the Brazilian ships Kepnb.ica and Tiradentes. Then the Dolphin's re"I suffered S years "From woman's early troubles.

The Brazilians manned the vards just before the firing, and the long lines ot blue jackets stood out against a white background of smoke. The Dolphin moved at a slow and stately gait, and the salute of each ship was distinct and sharp. The Aquidaban, the flagship of the Brazilian fleet, finished saluting at 1:40, and the Nueve Fspano took its turn. The Dolphin was followed at a distance of about f)00 feet by the Blake and bhe in turn by the Miantonomoh. At 1 :41 the Scadler of the German fleet fired her first gun. She was followed a moment later by the Keina Kegente of the starboard column and the two shipa, one on each side of the Dolphin, made the welkin rin. The Kaiserin Augusta joined the chorus and the echoes rolled up the palisades and down again until one seemed to hear a long line of artillery reaching for miles on the Jersey shore. The bands of the ships played tho national air, but it was onlv at intervals between the roar of guns that the music could be heard. The Van Speyk and the Infanta Isabel salute3 ran into each other. Then there was a pause for a minute, and the Argentine cruiser belched forth a Hash that was responded to by a big gua on the Giovana Bausan. It was 1:53 when the Concord spoke, and she spoke so rapid that hr saluto was done in two minutes. The Ktna paid her respects next. Then, after a short pause, a light clue puff arose above the dynamite tubes of the Vesuvius and a few seconds later there was a din overhead, as though tho sky was made of sheet iron and a bomb had struck it. People along the river front had hardly recovered from their astonishment when a sharp tongue of fire shot out from the Jean Bart and there was a report that mado women scream and windows rattle along the river front. At '2 o'clock the Yorktown and Arethus saluted together gun for gun. Then there was an interval, during which the bands could be heard playing and the cheers of the sailors reached the shore. The Chicago then opened fire and a moment later tho KusHinn Krnda added her guns to tho chorus. The Bnltimoro and the General Admiral followed. Th. IlritUh Snlute. At 2:03 the Tartar, the first of the British ships saluted. The guns of the Bancroft and the San Francisco were going at the same timo. The British Magicienne and the Atlantic fired the most simultaneously. The Dolphin lepened her speed as she approached the head of the line and there was an interval between the firing of ships. Each vessel began saluting as the. Dolphin's bow feme abreast. Ten ' minutes after she had passed the Jack Tars came down from their positions on the arms. It was just '2:V2 as England's crack cruiser, the Blake, fired her first gun. There was a big pair of smoke and a deep boom entirely dillerent from the sharp sounds of the guns of the smaller vessels. The Philadelphia saluted hb the Dolphin reached the head of the line and came to a stop just in the rear of the caravels. At the same time all the steamboats, tugs and pleasure craft blew their whistles and made a din almost as deafening as the saluting. There was cheering and waiving of hats, handkerchiefs and umbrellas and the triumphal procession of the presidential party was ended. The whistles sent up a cloud of steam which, added to the smoke of the guns, obscured the view of a large portion of the river. The admirals of the different squadrons then embarked in steam launches and proceeded to the Dolphin. At 2:30 the merchant marine was signaled to get away. The Seabird, with the committee on board, headed round the column and passed down the river on the New York side of the river. The Al Foster followed hd d the police patrol tugs fell in line two by two. After them came tugs, steamboats and steam yachts, two and three atreant and all with whistles blowing, men shouting and women waving parasols as they passed each man-of-war. A Great Commotion. The commotion that followed has never been equaled in the Hudson river. Clouds of steam aroso from the tugs and blew across of the men-of-war. The crews of the men-of-war faced the rail and waved hats and handkerchiefs at the noisy tugs and steamboats as they passed. Several rteam yachts saluted the men-of-war with one gun. whioh founded like a toy-pisol after the big guus of the men-of-war. The whistles nf the tugs and tteamers kept up a continual tooting and blowing from the time they wore given permission to start until the lower end of the long line of the pquadron was reached. Tho monotony of the noise of tho whistles was varied by sirens on several tugs and tho lireboats. The passengers on the steamboats crowded to the side toward the men-of-war, and many of the Bteamers seemed in imminent dauger of capsizing. They went down the river with one paddle wheel in the air and the guards under w ater and the starboard deck awesh. From the time the president started on his tour through the lines until the final salute was fired the weather was cloudy without rain. The air was cold and an unpleasant wind came out of the northeast. It was an improvement upon the forenoon, but it was not a pleasant day oa the river and on exposed points of vantage along the shore. The reception of the admirals by the prot-idetit lasted until 4:40 p. m. Then whru his flag was hauled down on the Dolphin and he went ashore at Ninetv-Sisth-ut. at a Eignal from the Philadelphia the guns of the entire fleet belched forth simultaneously. Fach vessel fired twentyone shots and the roar that ensued was deafening. When it subsided smoke hung in heavy clouds over the river, and the Jersey shore was Invisible for some minutes. The admirals turned to their ships, the steamboats which still lingered with passengers desirous of seeing all of the great naval pageant went to their piers and the ceremonies were over. GR EAT. ST OF MODERN TIMES. For a Peaceful Display the New York Review Heats History. The international rendezvous and review, in honor of Columbus, which has been in active progress for nearly two weeks, culminated today In a demonstration mora spectacular, mora noisy and more remarkable in many respects than anything of the kind recorded in modern history. There have been naval reviews of international character before, but none

so striking as this. There was one at Genoa, Columbus' birthplace, last year, at which vessels representing thirteen nations participated, and in which Admiral Benham of tne Newark took part for the United States, but there were only twenty-seven vessels in all in line on that occasion, and those mostly eecond-class. The iron-clads of Great Britain, France and Germany have made imposing demonstrations of force in the English channel and off Spithead, and have been pas-ed in review before the crowned heads of England and Germany, and the powerful Kuesian fleet had more than once "flocked by itself" in the Baltic, in view of the emperor of all the Kussias, in a manner to excite tne apprehension of other powers, but as a peaceful demonstration the New York naval review of today eclipsed all in interest It was peculiarly a manifestation of sentiment, not of force. Yet some of the lleetest and most formidable naval vessels in the wor'.d were there. And the quaintest part of the day's proceedings was that the post of honor at the head of the reviewed columns was given to the apparently unseaworthy reproductions of the Columbus caravels, the Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina, which, with infinite care, had been towed over from Cadiz to Cuba by our own Admiral Benham, and from Cuba escorted to Hampton 1 loads and New York by the Spanish warships. These pigmy boats, high pooped and lateen rigged, cut away amidships like a Koman galley, were anchored opposite Ninety-thrd-flt, and formed practically the turning point of the review. The contrast of four centuries of naval development could not have been more strongly ana picturesquely marked. Long Line of VesseN. The line of vepsels reviewed was over three miles in length, stretching in two columns from the foot of Twenty-third-st. to about Ninetv-fifth-et., where the reviewing ehip, the Dolphin, anchored. The foreign vessels were most of them stationed on the New York pide of the Hudeon river ; the American fleet, with the German, Dutch and Argentine cruisers, occupied the New Jersey side. The ships were anchored 300 yards apart and a epace of 400 yards was left between the two columns. Thousands of visitors poured into the city to witness the sight. By act of the legislature and proclamation of the governor the day was made a public holiday. Business was generally suspended. Flags were displayed from ail the shipping and from many public and private buildings. Hundreds of thousands of spectators lined the water's edge on both shores of the majestic river, perched upon the roofs and upper stories of the tall buildings and climbed the palisades or the elopes of Kiverside. Every point of vantage from which a view of the scene could be obtained wi occupied. The United States, by authority of law, took full possession of the waters of the harbor for this day. A cordon was tightly drawn around the reviewing vessels and the reviewed, and until the actual ceremonies were over no unauthorized boat was allowed to pas the line. Notwithstanding this temporary restriction nearly every tugboat and excursion steamer in the harbor was engaged for the day and crowded with sight-seers awaiting their chance to review the warships on their own account The proceedings began early. At 8 o'clock, by a preconcerted arrangement, all the Bliips in the review fleet simultaneously hoisted colors and dressed ship. At 9:30 o'clock the steam launches of the American men-of-war were dropped and manned, ready to go to the assistance of tho patrol llet-t should any bold intruders eeek to pass through the lines. Their services were not needed. The respect which the American people never fail, on great nublic occasions, to pay to authority, was abundantly manifested, and would have been had it not been enforced with euch overwhelming demonstrations of

power. Presidential Party. The embarkation of the presidential party cn board of the reviewing'boat Dolphin was a gorgeous ailair. A handsome special landing place had been erected for the purpose at the foot of Twenty-third-et the approach to which was carpeted and draped in bunting. The president was eecorted by his naval aids and accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland and the members of the cabinet, with their wives and the members of tho diplomatic corps, representing foreign governments. No representatives of the press or of the general public were permitted on board the presidential yacht. Even the duke of Veragua, the nation's specially invited guest, the lineal descendant of Columbus, was brought along in a separate vessel, the army boat Gen. .Meigs. The Dolphin, John Koach's last achievement for the government, long accused of "structural weakness,1' had been epecially fortified for the occasion by having a great cabin built clean across the ehip and covering one-fourth of her entire length, constituting a finer saloon than that possessed by any yacht in these waters. The saloon and after cabin had been elegantly decorated, carpeted and refurnished in hand carved mahogany epecially designed. Between 10 and 11 o'clock was the hour assigned for the president to commence the review. It was nearer 1 o'clock than 10 when the eignal was given for the start. As Boon as the president stepped on board the Dolphin the vessel tripped her anchor and fired one gun as a eignal. This was responded to by a boom which seemed to bhake the whole city. The double-turreted monitor Miantonomoh, h ing at the rear of the port column, fired for the fiist time in port one of her huge ten-inch guns charged with nearly 250 pounds cf powder. Almost before the reverberations of this gun had died away in the dis ant echoes the whole Heel was culled to quarters, yards were manned and every preparation made to receive the president of the United States with becoming respect. Tlio Jtoomlnjj of Cnnnon. Seen at thia moment, and before the enveloping clouds of gunpowder emoke from the subsequent salutes had obscured the air, the tcene was as pretty as well could be imagined. As the Dolphin's bow came in line with each man-of-war "Present arms" waa sounded on the bugle, officers and crew saluted, the bands struck up the national air and a national salute of twenty-one guns was fired by each ship. During the half hour or more that the presidential progress laated this cannonading never ceased until more than l.tiOO guns had been fired. Toward tho close of their booming, long separate identity had been merged into one great roar, while Hashes of mi flame and dense sulphurous clouds of smoke were all the spectators on the shore could distinguish. The firing began with the German flagship Kaiserin Auitusta and the Brazilian battleship Aquidaban. It was taken up in more ponderous manner by the Dutch Van Speyk and the Spanish Infanta Isabel. It was followed by the Argentine Nueve do Julio and the Italian Etna, and was continued by the American Charleston and the French Arethuse, followed by the flagship Newark and the Kussian admiral's ship Dimitri, and closed by Admiral Gherardi in the Philadelphia and Admiral Sir John Hopkins in tha noble Blake. The intervals between the artillery exercises of the flagships were filled up by similar exercises on the part of the other vessels of the squadron. Following close in the wake of the Dolphin and getting the full benefit of tho salutes, came the

army steamer Gen. Meigs, bearing the honored foreign guests of the day, the duke of Veragua, attended by Gen. Schofield of the army and Kear Admiral Belknap of the nay. The only other steamer permitted within the sacred limits during the brief progress of the presidential review was the Monmouth, upon which were senators and members of congress, governors of states, newspaper representatives and other invited guests. Hoards the Dolphin. When the Dolphin reached the end of the line, in the neighborhood of Ninety-fifth-st, the dropped anchor and made preparations to receive the commanding officers of the foreign squadrons, who were presented to the president by their respective ministers. Duly attired in full ceremonial uniform, with cocked hats and swords, the distinguished officers entered their barges and pulled oir for the presidential yacht Sir John O. Hopkins, the British admiral, waa first received He was presented by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador. Next came Vice Admiral KozenakolT, the Russian admiral, who was introduced by Prince Contacuzene, the Kussian minister, Kear Admiral DeLibran of France was third, presented by M. Patenotre, the French ambassador. Then followed Kear Admiral Magnaghi of Italy, for whom Baron Fava did the honors. The Spanish admiral, Senor Y Lono, though an invalid, did not fail to pay this ceremonial mark of respect to the chief executive, and was followed by Kear Admiral Howard of Argentine, Kear Admiral Norhona of the Brazilian lleet and the blondehaired and blue-eyed captains oi the German and Dutch steamers. These visits formed one of the inost interesting fat-

r urea of the day. As nearly all the foieigii otiicers epofce or understood English, the ceremonies were attended by no still" formalities, but it is said were marked by cordiality and 6omo degree of conviviality aiso. Fifteen minutes before the reception ended, and when tha presideut was preparing to land, an adtr.ouitory signal was given from the Dolphin, and! as he left the vessel and entered the barge at the foot of Ninety-sixth-et, every vessel in the fleet again manned yards and rails and once more fired a salute of twenty-one guns, following the Dolphin's lead. Then the president's Hag was lowered from the Dolphin, and the public ceremonies of the day were considered over. AVhat the Spectators Saw. . But the private part of the fun had only just begun. As soon as the Dolphin passed out from between the anchored lleet the cordon was broken, and private steamers and yachts rushed in. When the smoke had partially cleared away they obtained a magnificent view of the combined naval forces at close rce. The flagships of the equadrons courteously returned the innumerable salutes tendered by the private Bteamers, and their officers seemed to heartily appreciate the interest their appearance created. Nor was the spectacle one which they themselves would be likely to forget. The view thev have had the last two day's of New York's magnificent harbor, and of tha vast concourse gathered to honor the event in which they participated, could not fail to make an impression. The British flagship Blake, the Brazilian battleship Aquidaban, tho Argentine cruiser Neuvo ds Julio, the two German warships and the vicious ugly looking French iron-clad, the Jean Bart, seemed most to excite the interest of the visitors. Our own manificeut white fleet, through one or more of its representatives, has become somewhat familiar in New York waters, but its superb efficiency in comparison with the foreign visitors was none the less acknowl edged. When close under- the bows of the British flagship its immense size, U.000 tons, double that of the big Philadelphia, could be appreci ated. The German steamers are both new, the Kaiserin Augusta, on her trial trip, and the Seeadler, built onlv two years ago, aud on her maiden voyaga. The Kaiserin is reputed to have maintained a level speed of twenty knots for an entire day. ihis of course, is surpassed by the Argentine cruiser, which can make twenty-two knots and is tho fastest vessel in the fleet. It was a matter of amused surprise to many of the visitors to be told that the immense masts of the Jean Bart were hollow, with a winding staircase inside leading to the fighting-tower on top. Had the strict discipline maintained on naval review day permitted visiting to any of the ships, these masts would have bean one ot the first objects explored. Even with the restrictions which naval discipline imposed the opportunity for viewing at close range the crack ships of the ten nations formed a leading feature in a day which will be memorable for its spectacular ellects, for the deafening roar which the simultaneous discharge of the 840 guns at once can produce, and for the evidence of international friendship which the peaceful presence of the warships of eo many foreign powers in American waters afforded. Long after the launches with the commanding officers of the various shipa had passed ud the river, the naval reserve and police patrol boats maintained the cordon about the fleet, through which no vessel of the merchant marine was allowed to pase. It was not until 2:30 that the reception on board the Dolphin was well under way that the line was broken between the Dolphin and the New York shore, and the many hundred vessels of the merchant marine massed at the head of the fleets and between the Jersey shore and the American worships were permitted to make their way down the river.

fach other in trying to make the most noise. From the big ocean steamer to the smallest of yachts it was all the fame. The whistles of all continued shrieking and tooting salutes to the foreign ships. From the big excursion eteamers came cheer after cheer, from the sailing yachts with their sales furled and in tow ot tugs one gun was fired as each yacht came abreast of a foreign man-of war. The crowds on the excursion steamers were so great that the boats themselves seemed to bo on the verge of capsizing, their port wheels ecarcely touching the water. For two hours the procession continued to pass, and at times nearly blocked the limited space in which they had to maneuver. The three vessels that excited the most interest with the excursionists were the English ship Blake, the French protected cruiser Jean Bart and the Italian protected cruiser Etna. At 4:40 the president disembarked from the Dolphin and at the finish of the ealute of twenty-one guns given hii from the Philadelphia, the combined fleets honored him with a national salute, beginning with the Blake of the English fleet and the Newark of the American. Shot after shot followed in quick succession, tho smoke becoming ro dense as to hido the dii erent ships. To add to the noise back from tho high shore of the Jersey side flung the echoes in long reverberations that rolled up and down the shore.
