•Now York, Sept. 28. —‘New York is
gorgeously docked today in honor of the
gallant sailor who is waiting at her gate.
Had an ocean of color swept through tin
city its ebbing tide could not have stain
ed the streets more brilliantly. Hundreds
of .miles of ml, white ami blue hunting
cover the noble facades of Broadway
aiwl Fifth Avenue, and a million Hags
flutter over «be town.' Not even tin*
churches have escaped the universal de
corations. The doors anld Gothic win
dows of old Trinity 'Hi lower Broadway
are gratefully draped with the national
colors, ajid in ancient Trinity grave-yard
the tomb of that gallant. smilor, Who,
dying, issued flic command not to give
up the ship, lies shrouded in the silk n
folds of the flag for which he died.
A million visitors are here to partiei
pate in the glorious celebration. Every
road das pouring in a steady stream until
the streets are crowded morning and
night, the surface and elevated cars arc
filled to overflowing and the hotel corri
dors arc? jammed with visitors. The gaily
appareled soldiers of many States, who
are to take .part in the land parade on
Saturday, begani trooping in today and
three was no hour when uniformed men
were riot moving in some quarter of the
city to the sound of fife and drums and
horns.
Sailors and marines ashore from the
■lug fighting machines heltwsl to swell tin*
crowd trooping in all directions. Uni
formed members of the staffs erf the ar
riving: governors were everywhere.
The arrangements few the two days’
celebrations art* completed. The great
arch at Madison Square, modelled after
-the triumphal arch of Titus and upon
which the most famous sculptors of Am
erica have lavished their genius, is prac
tically finished and stands a s iporb trib
ute to the nation’s hero. It is more
beautiful than the arch in Rome.
Today tin* flotilla lay quietly at anchor
off Tomipkinsville, a towering spectacle
erf naval anight and power to sh * tens of
thousands who sailed down in nigs, in
yachts and in steamers to sec*- tin* ships.
The crush to get aboard the Olympia
never abated for a minute, and as great
indulgence was shown by Admira' Dew
ey, ,a goodly portion of those who be
sieged the gangways got aboard. At
times the ship was fairly overrun. Tliese
crow'ds and the official visits the Admir
al received scarcely gave IsAmi and his
officers time to breathe.
The jackies today got. the medals
which {'engross votes! them, ami proudly
displayed them to the* visitors until Jef
fries. the* jmgna«t, came alioard. Jack
loves a fighter, and while the big slug
ger was aboard, tin* tars were oblivious
to all else.
Owing to the stream of official visi
tors, the roar of salutes oontinu**-l al
most without interruption all day. Major
General Nelson A. Miles, at the head
of the* Washington committee, called to
submit the program for the reception at
the National capital.
As the Washington oif’nmnit too
stepped; aboard George A\ . Biaird. who
sailed With Karra gut and Dewey in the
West Gulf Squadron in 1801. unrolled a
paekage which he 1 had carefully guarded
all the wav to the Olympia, and display
ing a faded blue* Admiral’s ensign upon
which were stitched four white* stars,
he said to Admiral Dewey: “Admtiral.
I wish to prevent to you the* first Admir
al's flag ever ‘broken out’ An the navy of
this country. Tile* grand edel Admiral
whose* name and memory all so revere
first hoisted this ensign U|ion the* good
ship Hartford, before New Orleans, and
•afterward upon the Franklin; and since
it came down from that masthead it has
newer been whipped by the* wind or worn
by the* elements. You, the* worthy suc
cessor of that great Admiral whose* tac
tics you so successfully followed a short
while ago. I deem t ,lm* proper person for
Farrngnt’s mantle to fall upon.”
This flag was made by Quartermaster
Knowles out of a blue “number” flag
when Farragut was first made a Rear
Admiral. Two whole stats were sewed
on it. When Farragut was made a»
admiral two more white* stars we re sew-
ed on it. Farragut flew this flag or the
Hartford at Aew Orleans and afterward
in tin* Mediterranean.
Admiral Dewey was deeply affected
and tears were in his eyes as he gazed
at the souvenir. It was several moments
before* he* could find his voice. Finally
lie said: *
“I’ll fly it—l’ll fly it at the* masthead
I’ll fly it in tin* parade—l’ll fly lit always
—and —and, when 1 strike my Admiral’s
flag this will hi* the flag I shall strike."
Major General Merritt and his
staff, stiff with gold braid came
over from Governor’s Island to
officially welcome Admiral Dewey in
the name* of the army. They were re
ceived with all the honors befitting *heir
rank, hut the climax was not reached
until Governor Roosevelt, of New York,
came down the bay in the afternoon, on
the* yacht Wild Duck. lie* was accom
panied by General Francis V. Greene,
some officers of the New Yorx naval
militia and several of Dewey’s Captains
at Manila, including Captain Dyer, of
the Baltimore: Captain Wood, of the
Petrel: Captain Wildes. of the Boston,
and Captain Walker, of flu* Concord.
When they got aboard Admiral Dewey
took them over the ship, and tin* sight
of the fighting captains set the tars mad
with delight. Nothing could restrain
their enthusiasm, and round after round
of cheers greeted the atppoa ranee of these
officers.
Governor Roosevelt was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy when Dewey
was sent to the command of the Asiatic
Squadron, and General Greene, who
served in the Philippines, is a )>ersonnl
friend of the Admiral of many years’
standj/ng. The sight of the Captains
who were with him during the stress of
that hot day in Manila Bay was good
for the Admiral’s eyes, so that alto
gether Admiral Dewey seemed to enjoy
this official visit more than any he has
received. Tin? local municipal authori
ties are somewhat piqued because Gov
ernor Roosevelt extended the formal
welcome of the State to the Admiral Ik*-
fore tin? mayor had an opportunity to
offer his official greeting on behalf of
the city. This ceremony will occur to
morrow.
While mueh powder was flung into
smoke down the bay today, much more
will Ik* burned tomorrow during the
great naval pageant: up the Hudson
river. The marine parade, unless it is
marred by bad weather, which the local
forecaster unfortunately predicts, is ex
pected to eclipse all previous water
pageants on this side of the world. The
parade will move at one o’clock in four
divisions. First will come the warships,
headed by the Olympia and flanked on
either side by the torpedo boats. They
will Ik* followed by a fleet of white reve
nue cutters. Following them will Ik*
the steam yachts in double column, led
by the Corsair, the flagship of the New
York Yacht Club. To Sir Thomas Dip
ton's Erin has b(*en accord(*d tin* honor
of heading the starboard column of this
division. There will lx* 187 yachts in
line.
The third division will consist of the
merchant marine steamers, and an in
discriminate fleet of tugs, barges and
unattached vessels will bring up the
ritar. It is expected that tlie line will
be nine miles long, and that half a- mil
lion people will be afloat.
The parade, with the Olympia in the
van, will move up the North river to the
stake boat, St. Mary’s, an old' practice
ship of the Navy, which is moored op
posite the Grant Mausoleum iu River
side Park.
After rounding Ihe stake boat, the
Olympia will come to anchor below two
beautiful floats representing Peace and
Victory, and each warship in it's turn
will drop in below the flagship. The
National salute of 21 guns will Ik? fired
in honor of the hero of Appomattox.
The torpedo boats and revenue cutters
will anchor opposite the line of war
ships under the bluff, and between these
two lines the civic part of the parade
will pass in review.
Rear Admiral Howison has gracefully
yielded the precedence to Rear Admiral
Sampson in the matter of 'Ship's division.
The commander of the South Atlantic*
Station will simply Ik* present as a spec
tator and bring up the end of the line
with the Chicago. Rear Admiral Samp
son will follow the Olympia in the New
Vork, hut will fly the red flag while
Howison Hies the blue.
Tomorrow night the grandest illuminar
tions and fireworks display in the history
of tin* city will occur.
Tonight there was a preliminary il
lumination of rare beauty. Ali the
buildings on the water front were light
id up. On the Brooklyn Bridge in let
ters of lire thirty feet high flashed the
words, “Welcome Dewey,” while simul
taneously from the shores of the East
and North rivers, Staten and Governors
Islands, red fire glowed and sputtered,
sending up fantastic clouds of smoke,
turning the calm water into a sea of
lurid flames and transforming tin* craft
in the harbor into red spectres.
THEY SERENADE DEWEY.
New York, Sept. 28.—Twelve hundred
strong, the People's Choral Union, led
by Frank Damrosch, paid a tribute of
song tonight to the sea-heroes. About
seven hundred of the singers were wo
-jnen. In the steamer Warwick they left
tin* pier at Beckman street at 7:40 p.
m., and forty minutes later the War
wick lay to fifty yards from tin* stern
of the Olympia': where “My Country 'tis
of Thee,” "the Star-Spangled Banner”
and other stirring airs were sung, to the
great delight of all who heard. The
singers also visited and serenaded other
ships in the hay.
IIAItD PROGRAM FOR DEWEY.
New York, Sept. 28.—Admiral Dewey
has already expressed some doubt that
he will Ik? able to go through the duties
attendant on his reception, without suf
fering. extraordinary fatigue. The rou
tine of the Admiral’s movements for tin
two days of the celebration has been
fixed. It will occupy at least 12 hours
of Friday and sixteen hours of Satur
day.

PRINT CLOTS MILLS COMBINE.
Much Uncertainty as to Any Such Com
bine Being Effected.
New York, Sept. 28. —The Tribune to
morrow will say:
“Much uncertainty prevails ns to tin*
prospect for the combination of print
doth mills. Two of the thrre syndicates
which, within the last few months have
been endeavoring to effect the consoli
dation of the New England mills have
abandoned negotiations, hut the one
represented by Nelson G. Green, of this
city, is still in the field.
“The New England mill owners have
within the last few days renewed the
price agreement for the sale of their
output, hut this agrcomeiiit, which is
usually for six months, is this time to
run only to January Ist. on which date it
is said Mr. Green’s options become ef
fective. It is understood that the plans
of the Green syndicate contemplate the
formation of a great corporation, with a
capital appraching $200,000,000 to em
brace all the print cloth mills Imuli North
and South.
“Thomas Branch & Co., hankers of
Richmond, who have secured options on
a large number of important Southern
mills, have just.made a contract with
a local syndicate, headed by Charles R.
Flint, whereby the syndicate will furn
ish all the capital necessary for the pur
chase of the mills, and their consolida
tion into a company with a capital of
lK>rhaps $100,000,000. It was rumored
yesterday that this consolidation might
prove to lie part of tin* general combina
tion plan with which Mr. Green’s name
iius heretofore been associated.”
KILLED IN A PRIZE FIGHT.
Grass Valley., Cal., Sept. 28.—As a re
sult of a prize fight held here last night
between Jim Pendergast, of Sacramento,
and Charles Hoskins, of this place, the
latter is dead. Hoskins was kuwked
out in the tenth round, and although
physicians worked ujMin the prostrate
man all night they could not save his
lift*.
The referee, Pendergast and all the
seconds were placed under arrest.
RYAN TOO ILL TO FIGHT.
Denver. { Polo., Sept. 28. Tommy
Ryan Is ill iu this city and he announced
today lie would Ik* unable to fight Joe
Choynski 'and Jack Root in Chicago next
week. He has also cancelled his match
with Jack McDonough for Friday night
[ iu this city.
THE COLUMBIA IS DOCKED.
Far .More Thoroughbred in Appearance
Than the Stliaimroek.
'New York, Sept. 28. —The Columbia
was dockeu at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
this afternoon. She will probably re
nuui.li there until Monday, the d.ty preced
ing the first of the series of races for the
Aim erica’s cup, during which prriod every
art known to.tho builder, rigger and sa'd
n.aker will be employed in getting the
craft iu the best possible trim for I'll *
contest.
'1 he contrast lx*fwren the limes of the
Shamrock and the Columbia are very
marked. In the former one earn see a
big bulky craft <k*iMUid,‘.ut upon a great
»-r spread of canvas for superiority* in
si-red. while the latter hills the thorough
t.red ap|K araiH-i* that remies wit h finer
lines and a more slender hull.
Tim Columbia was viewed from all
sides by admiring lnrndireds, most of
wh m had also seen the 'Shamrock in
the dry d(K-k, and ninety-nine out of
every hundred 'were of the opinion that
the American boat was far more a rarer
in looks than tin* cup challenger. Even
the English and iScotUh 'writers sent
across to rejKirt the cup races admitted
that tin* Columbia was (lie Ldtca* look
ing cruft of the two. hut they Iwupe for
heavy breezes so tlluart the ShatmiPK-k can
make her best showing.
The Columbia looks like a big tin
keel, ller lead is thickest and deepest,
well forward oil the keel so as to he
directly under the center of effort, while
on the Shamrock the lead is beamiest
amidships. The American boat is cut
away forward much more than the Irish
cutter, and lias a longer overhang aft.
The former's lead keel is about seven
feet shorter at the bottom than the
latter’s, which accounts for her superior
quickness in stays.
Captain l Philip Ellsworth, who de
signed the Atlantic, saw the Columbia.
He said he believed tin* Columbia
would defeat the Shamrock, but thought
that tin* Irish craft would prove as
good as the American at every point
of sailing except in windward work.
Said he:
“Build a boat with a hull like tin*
Columbia's, put on a keel like the old
America's,i cut down the sail and I'll
bet she would defeat the Columbia
hands down.”
