A swocossful effort was mado by all steam whistles in the bay and on the rivers to create the most disagreeable noise imaginable, thus emphasizing the wonderful difference hotween navigation in 1783 and J883, At 9 o'clock people took possession of the streots and every means of conveyance leading down town. They filled cars, omnibuses and still the sidewalks of fourth, fifth, and sixth ave- anues and Broadway, presented a dense maoe of humanity. The deeorations were elaborate on publi. buildings and club- houses, but residents in dwelling houses oontented ‘themselves with a display of the stars and stripes. Occasional- ly the colors of France and Germany mingled with the red white and blue. All places of business were closed, and the entire population of Man- hattan‘and Long Island have given them- setves up to the enjoyment of this patri- otic occasion. Points of historic interest were surrounded by crowds anxious to recall the scenes of the day when the British withdrew from American shores, and independence was really made secure.

Broadway,was «sea of umbrellas. The bunting clung to the flagstaffs and the wallsof the houses, and the brightness of ‘the morn- ing aoon dissappeared. “The fog on the bay and rivers deprived the flotilla of ateam-vessols of much of its «oxpected glory. It was a nevel parade ‘to New York and it attracted a great deal of observation. The pregramme laid down for it by Admiral Jokn H. Starin was strictly adhered to. Boats to the number of several hundred rendezvoused in the bay formed in divisions and steam- ed-into North river and alerg the New Jersey shore till oppesite -sixty fifth ~ street New York, theace re- iwurning down the New %ork side of the riveruround the battery and in Kast river, stemining then as far as the navy yard and returning along by Brook- Jyn shore to the starting point at Bay [Ridge. As the boat bearing the Admi- ral of the fleet passed the Tennessee, the lagship of Admiral Cooper, several ships of the United States fired a salute of 21 suns, maaned their yards andmade other demonstrations customary upon such oc- .casions, At noon every stoam whistle in the city began a salute, which was un- broken for live minutes time, .during avhich it was to last.
