The scene from UD thrro was n great oneFrom every direction boata were flying downtoward Grmonend Hay and the Istre all bril-liant

with flags unit bunting nicrowdedwith people Bight In front lnt Atlanticwas a bunch of six tucs and just nlieml ofthem two graceful yachts that made the littletugs look like ducks beside Mvans From NHWYork Brooklyn Jeri jr City and Hoboknnpleasure boats were 110cklf1 down swarmingwith crowds eager show and be Hpart or II Every man with boat that could-go at tw iiiied to bavu brought his family-out and boittnon from the Battery and allalone the rlvnr were scootnl along fastened-to friendly tugs thought for thecloud ot Bait spray dashing on them
Tho Aldermen on the Atlantic wero fllledwith ardor anti mini the Marseillaise inchorus Even the discovery that a GermAnflue had hnUtHil hr accident wax nnnblnto cast a gloom It was hauled down with greatsuddenness by tho reuchlll who discoveredIt hmveior nnd 1lekll away with an enthuflasm that hliowed old feeling But thatonly lasted a mlnntp A big yellow flag withDO particular reRulolwas hoisted In Itn piecelie old Oh Mary Ann 1il Tellyour Mn iis BtrttcL up and jolly feeling wassoon restored
On lidloos Island as tho Atlantic paddled-by Ibig crowd on the bank caught up the tuneand sang with Aldermen Mr Evans joinedin too while a r on top of tim halfinished pcdustul took I picture of himthe rost of the oat
DOWN TO THE ISEBEAs tho dlgnllnris paddled further down the
bay the throng of bouts grew bigger and big-ger aq though nil the croft in Christendom hadturned out tor a gigantic maritime picnic Inthe thickest of It nil lay the Isuro her whitehulk shinIng and her rhn111 one mass offlaming colors Near the bit blackLa Florc dressed out to kill also and with awarm of utyly dressed sailors climbingtbrouch bar rigging
Every boat croud up ns close to the lidrn-ta she could inch did her best to addsomething to all bewilderment of slTtyllvesailors who stood In their white dress uni ¬

paddled up but tho arrival of that bout changedthings Her pilot yelled nnd blow his whistle-and the six tugs had to stop whistling and gosomewhere rue Aldermens band startedoff with the Marseilllse In a way that soondiscouraged the other bands and the cheeringof tile Aldermen aided by the committees nndHbrdEvlrI8lofl all previous attempts In tile

ADVANCING TO THE MUSIC OF CANNON
The Aldermen on the Atlantic ordered theband to produce some tune which they couldsing and that body obediently played SomeDay lint the Aldermen hud not gone very farInto the song before a white cloud shot outfrom tbe Dispatch again followed by a boomthat put every one out CoronerKennedy advised all who could hearhim to keep their mouths open Ithey did not want to be shakenThose who did no escaped the worst effects ofthe booming The United States vessels thatfollowed the Dispatch echoed her guns withdozens moro until the Omaha right ahead ofthe La Floro was going It as hard ns the restThe La Flare concluded to burn a little powderherself and show American ships what quickllrlng really was A burst of llama flew fromher side In a roll of smoke and then cam alouder concussion than any thln 8U far DeforIt hail died away another roar cameother Mile of the ship Flash alter nash androar after roar followed In quick succession asthe big guns were discharged by electricityuntil the salutes ot our ships were altogether-left In the ehnde Tho La Flore had firedtwentyone guns in sixtyone seconds

kept it upThe smoke from the suns became so dense
that the menofwar seemed to be sailingthrough a mist and could bo hardly dis-tinguished
¬
by the crowds that lined the statenIsland and the Brooklyn shores When FortHamilton had ceased firing a band worked itsway down among the crowd on the lawn infront of the fort nnd played the Marseillaiseand a lull in the tiring showed that the Alter¬
mens German bund bad been faithfully ¬
jog the same tune In tbo face of adverse cir-cumstances
¬
When time procession had passed the Narrowswhole fleets of craf joined It that had notcared to go hnd visit enthusiasm-and all whistled or shot off small cannons ac-cording
¬
to their moans nnd kept It upuntil at Bedloes Island the Isere turnedaside from the procession to anchorThen the efforts of the newcomers weredrowned and swallowed up In one horribleuniversal screech and roar worse probablythan anything that ever echoed through thispart nt the country before Every steamboatmndo the greatest amount of noise of which Itwas capable Then just ns the Isuro droppedanchor tho Minnesota which had been at an-chor
