MEMORABLE DAY III NEW YORK'S HISTORY
Hudson-Fulton Celebration Begins with a Great Naval Pageant Fifteen .Miles Long. WARSHIPS THE BIG ATTRACTION Crowds Are so Great They Can Only Be Estimated Millions Witness Fireworks at Night. The boom of sunrise gun3 aboard the warships in the North River awoke New York Saturday morning to the first day of the celebration, long planned and long awaited, which honors the work of Henry Hudson and Robert Fulton. The river that Hudson found and where Fulton set his steamboat was the place toward which the eyes of 5,000,000 persons turned for the most impressive pageant that ever floated in the New York harbor. A thousand vessels, varying in type from the one-man catboat to the mighty cruiser Inflexible, were there; fiftyseven warships, representing the navies of the United States, Great Britain, Germany,-France, Italy, Holland, Mexico and Argentina, 450,000 tons of steel, bearing 28,000 officers and men and armed with 1,897 guns. "Would Ilnve Fooled Fulton. Copies of the Half Moon and Clermont, so faithful to the original models in every detail, that Hudson and Fulton themselves would have been puzzled to find the differences; 120 steamboats and ferryboats, seventyfive steam yachts, seventy-five motor boats, 200 tugs and steam lighters, 400 sailing craft and small launches. All but the greatest and least of these craft met in the uprer bay for the parade that escorted the Half Moon and the Clermont up the Hudson. The warships remained at their anchorages. The day's first spectacle not counting 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 submarines were assigned to escort the Half Moon and the Clermont. The Clermont was towed from its anchoage to join the JJalf Moon. Then, with the escort trailing in the rear, the two little craft which epitomize the celebration cruised along the Brooklyn shore In sight of the spectators. Meanwhile the rest of the parade was assembling and when the Half Moon and Clermont finished their round of the upper bay and sailed into the mfcuth of the Hudson they fell Into line. It wa3 not until 1 o'clock that the mass straightened 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 wa3 nearly fifteen miles long. At night, with scarcely enough Interval' to allow the crowds to get dinner, the participants in the gay parade moved over the same route, while the I rivw was gorgeously decorated. ' By ' far the most enjoyable feature of the celebration was the fireworks display on the river and the illumination of the vast fleet of war vessels and the city. Millions witnessed the scene.
