THE GREAT OVATION.
Two Days of Demonstration In the Great
City. Tbe Hero Receives Gifts Mod
estly and Shares the Honors.
New York has just pulled off
the biggest affair -in our history
in the reception of the heroes of
Manilla. We say heroes for
Admiral Dewey very properly
ascribes a good share of the
honor to his captain's and men.
The nation itself is largely cred
itable for the great victory, says
Dewey. When on the way up
the river to Gen. Grant's tomb
Friday he said to Mayor Van
Wych : -
"We won, Mr. Mayor, because
our government spends money
for target practice. Our men
were proficient, and when they
shot they could hit. The Span
ish sailors never fired at a target
in their lives, and when the fight
came they could not hit us."
Friday's great naval parade
which was a medley of scream
ing whistles and- throat rending
' cheers together with twenty-one
guns fired at the tomb of Gen.
Grant was if possible surpassed
by the street parade an Satur
day. Fifty thousand troops
were in line, beside many organ
izations such as veterans, sons
of veterans, etc.
On the way the Admiral was
greatly pleased with a stand of
school children dressed some in
blue and some in white so ar
ranged that those in blue formed
-the ground and those in white
formed the letters spelling
Dewey. When the Admiral ap
proached they rose and sang,
"See the Conquering - Hero
Comes" and kept the time with
waving flags.
At one point seventeen aerial
bombs, an admirals salute, were
fifed from the top of a tall
building.
Of the Arch of Victory the
Associated Press dispatch says :
It is modelled after Titus' arch
in the Roman forum. From the
top, in a quadriga drawn through
rolling billows by plunging sea
horse, "Victory," with out
stretched wings and the laurel
wreath in her hand, typical of
the reward to the victor, reared
her beautiful outline against the
blue sky. On the attic are heroic
figures of John Paul Jones, Hull,
Perry, Decatur, FarragutT and
other naval heroes, while on the
faces of the piers are magnificent
groups symbolic of combat,;' the
return of the victors, the call to
arms and peace, and on the
panels are groups representing
the North and East rivers, and
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The arch faces the sea. The ap
proaches are guarded by tall,
colonades, transforming the
street at the reviewing booth in
to a court of honor.
The Admiral on Friday re
ceived a badge from the mayor
with the compliments of the city.
After the speeches tlie -Ad
miral directed his Chinese ser
vant to pin it on him. : '
On Saturday morning .he was
made the recipient of a gold
"Loving Cup" by the mayor, the
gift of the great city. It stands
13 inches high, holds 4f quarts
and cost 85000 dollars." .
After the reception speeches
he called his captains forward
and introduced each and said :

It would take a book . to con-,
tain all that is interesting in the
reception.
