On Saturday, August 20th, the citio zens of New York did their best to give a. rousing and enthusiastic welcome to Admiral Sampson’s fleet of battle-ships, which entered the harbor early in the morning. The celebration was an im- promptu affair, but the flag-ship, New York, had hardly entered the narrows before‘ the shores of Staten Island, Long Island, and New Jersey were black with people, and along the docks of New York City, from the windows of the tall buildings and up along Riverside Drive, one could see nothing but countless masses of people all mad- ly cheering the returning conquerors. The grim battle-ships showed little or no'signs of the fight with Cervera’s fleet. First came the flag-ship New York, from the main-mast of which U. V U FEAST Fourth Annual Outing of War Vets ai Seaside Place. A Highly Satisfactory Shore Dinner served foITwo Hundred People. 1 1y residence at Seaside place, East N orwalk. were last night the scene of- one of the most satisfactory clam-bakes ever held in this vicinity. It was given under the auspices of the Union Veterans’ Union, and was participated in by nearly two hundred “war vets" and their friends. The tables were and so arranged that spread under a. ca- pacious' tent, every one could eat in Comfort. The caterer evidently was no novice as everything was cooked to a palatable nicety. The dinner while not of an elbaoratc order included everything that one- could wish for on such an occasion. The cdibles included baked blue-fish and bass, both hard and soft shell clams, etc., with a plenty of side dishes, and corn that it was a pleasure to devour, iced watermelon,cool lemonade and hot coffee. Admiral Sampson’s twin-star flag of blue was flying, and which wasIunder command of Captain F. E. Chadwick. Next came the Iowa, under the com- mand of Captain Evans; then the Indi- ana', under the command of Captain Taylor; then the Brooklyn, bearing Admiral Schley’s blue flag with two stars, under the command of Captain Cook. She was followed by the Massa‘ chusetts, unde1 the command of Cap- tain Higginson. The famous Oregon, 1n chasing the Ch1istobal Colon, and cited the admiration of the whole She was followed by what was once known as the “hoo- doo boat,” the Texas, which has brushed aside the “hoodoo,” and shown herself to be one of our best fighting machines. The vessels were more or less clean looking, with the exception of the Massachusetts. She was dirty, and, as one young girl put it, “1espect- ably dirty.” The vessels proceeded up the Hudson River as far as Grant’s tomb, Where our picture taken from Harper’s Week- ly shows the vessels. After saluting, they turned around‘and went down the river. They stopped a short time at Governor’s Island, and then pioceeded to their anchorage off Tompkinsville. The occasion was one long to be re- membered by New Yorkers and others who saw the parade. . The spectacle was very impressive, for these vessels, with their guns and crews, had made American history, and had won for this country a. new glory. The men who had done so nobly behind the guns could be seen standing on the forward decks responding heartily to the cheers of the crowds. There was not much time for preparation for this parade, but what New York could do to honor these ships and men was done, and the day W111 not be forgotten as long as generations hand down records to s uc- Icecding generations. 4 ‘-‘ ‘ V The Gazette Wonders.
