An honor never, before accordedJthe official head of the United States- navy fell -to the lot of Secretary- Gearge-- von Meyer today He reviewed the biggest American fleet t ever assembled - and the greatest ever- gathered . in ... any harbor of the world. . There - was no delay in getting the ceremonies under way, for Secretary Meyer and his aides, on the Dolphin were all ready shortly, after 8. o'clock for the beginning of the day's official events, -. . , . : - . '. ; While the Dolphin was getting un der way for the Connecticut, the flag ship of Rear Admiral" Hugo Oster haus, commander-in-chief of the fleet, the .Nashville -with -more than 250 representatives- of. the press was mak ing her way up the Hudson from Forty-second street to' Eighty-flrst street, where .the flag-ship rode at anchor. t In the meantime,- between 8 and 9 o'clock,- the various : division com manders were assembling on the flag ship Connecticut for the official visit of Mr.. Meyer. , ; - Commanders Gathered--' The commanders of the four. divi sions of the . fleet, who gathered upon the flag-ship ' were : -t . Rear Admiral B. A. Fiske of the first division, Rear Admiral N. R. Usher of. the second division; Rear ..dmiral C. McK. Wins low of the 'third'" division ?and ' Rear Admiral, F..F. Fletcher, of the fourth division. . Others . on- board . ; were: Captain Frank K. 'HilU' chief of the staff of the Atlantic fleet, and" Rear Admiral A- . M,'T Knight; commander of the Atlantic, reserve fleet.; Although 'nothing of the ceremonies could be seen from the shore save the. salutes, Riverside , Drive ..was lined with 'thousands of -persdns, - feasting their eyes on the unrivalled war dis-: play in the Hudson. ' There was much" waving of signal, Aags and flapping of : ''conversation .pennons from . the masts of the" gre&;,battleships. . : ' It rwas close-to thebaur:'of 9. when; Secretary Meyer's flagi was broken -from the foremast of the" Dolphin as the v- yacht steamed,- abreast-, of . ,the' Connecticut. As she "did so the guns , of the flag-ship "ihuridere'd their "sal ufe of 19 guns : - f. -4 Before -the, smoke, had lifted above the skeleton masts-Admiral Osterhaus followed by jhis fellowojficers , were putting oil in small boats to pay theln respects to . Secretary J Meyer , on the Dolphin which had come to anchor nearby. " l A. - ; While Admiralfv, Osterhaus and the division commanders ' were going on board the .Dolphin. launphes bearing members of ; the ; House and -jSenate navaf committees were "-ste-aing. up from Seventy-ninth street , The mem- . bers of both , these ; committees . had been Invited on the-Dolphin tp .take part In the cerernqntes.;. . ::,.,:; , .-. s Inspects Dreadnoughts. ' t ' After the. brief and-formal ivisit: of the commanding officer.,',was over'Sec ; retary Meyer put' otl.iii'p.. launch ,and paid his respects to simiral ..Oster haus on board' the Connecticut.' ' - And now came. , the mf($X in terestf n g ' par of ; the. prograErf.y,sp; far a8 Mr. Meyer was concerned-Jnspection of the two' new' vtVWper'dfeadnoughts; Arkansas aridWyb'mTng.'.V; . , These ,tw.o Jinonstert'were the moist powerful ships in line., i representing, the last word on sea fighting material in the United States navy. They car ry such powerful armament that they could anchor on the ocean - side of Long Island and pour their fire oyer Long Island into -New York. They could anchor in the harbor-and drop 500-pound projectiles into the inland towns in New Jersey a dozen miles off the . coast. . . Mr. Meyer looked with interest at the great .batteries of , 12 -inch guns which cost a fortune to fire. ; The division commanders ..returned to their ships-. Rear Admiral Fiske went to the Florida; Rear Admiral Usher to the Louisiana; Rear Admiral Winslow -to the New Jersey, and Rear Admiral Fletcher to the Ohio. " Up to this time the ceremonies had been of a preliminary, character. .The review of the 12-mile fleet now began. The Dolphin with , Mr. Meyer, Rear Admiral Osterhaus and the offi cial 'guests began its cruise past the guns , of the, great men-of-war.. Fol lowing in the wake of the Dolphin steamed the "steamer Hendrik Hud son with the members of the citizens, committee on board. . Mayflower Appears, i No sooner Was the review over than the pres-dential yacht, Mayflower, upon, which President Taf t is to re view the" fleet tomorrow as it passes out to sea, made her appearance, with the President on board, at the head of the line at Twenty-third street. Every ship blazed forth the Presi dential, salute of 21 guns as the May flower steamed , siowly up the Hud son. If the big guns had been fired nearly all the windows : in Greater New ' York would have been broken, but the : naval officers considerately, used 3 -pounders. These made con siderable noise and plenty of gunpow der " smoke but had very little con cussion.;";; ' Mr. Meyer and his aides went ' on board - the Mayflower and the Presi dent's flag was hauled down. Then the Mayflower moved up the riyeV to a- point near the Connecticut, wher.e . another round of visits took place. This time, however, 'Admiral Osterhaus and his fellow officers .went on board the .Mayflower instead of the Dolphin."' "Later Mr. Taft returned the call. Following the axample of -Sec-. retary Meyer, Mr. Taft made a trip to the new superdreadnoughts ArV kansas and Wyoming, . accompanied by j Admiral Osterhaus and the chlef of -staff. Mr. Taft as Mr. Meyer had done" before itim showed keen interest in .the leviathans of war' with ; their ponderous machinery of destruction.- i : Af terPresident.Taf t's, return, to the Mayflower his -formal --'visit ' was -ire-turned by Admiral -Osterhaus.. Then there .was a second review; of the fleet this time with both : President Taft and Secretary 'Meyer.: upon the . May flower while the Dolphin and -Nashville followed in - the wake of ' . the presidential yacht, - . . . ' i Cheers from the lusty throats of the bluejackets greeted . the ' presidential yacht as'.; she passed slowly . beneath the great ships . in their somber coats of wa.f- nainf. . . x . . - i Tonight there will be an official din-- her at the Hotel Astor "in 'honor . of President Taft, Secretary Meyer and the officers of the fleet. - VANDERBILT LEADS IN AGGREGrATE SCORE NEW YORK, Oct. 14.--The foot boll team of Vanderbilt University stands at the top of all the college elevens thus far this season on a basis Of . aggregate ' scores made.
