Thoy prosented u remarkable congregation of nationaltios, sunburned Turks, phlegmatic Toutons, Armenians crowded in upon rosy ohooked girls and little children; Arabians dressed 1 their picturesque garb. For a time oue would have imagined Sandy Hook was the wnevitable site selected for a modera tower of Babyioon. when tha first boat load of passenzors came alougsido the wharf, Geaeral Hamilton, at- tended by tho medical stuff of tho camp, walked down the gangway, which had been run out.

Registering the Immigrants, As the immigrants landed, they filed past tho staft of interpreters, who stood at a long avle and acted as entry clerks for the com- mandant, taking the name, aze, place of birth, destination and the name of the ship from ‘which each passenger had come, Just before the passengers landed the po- lice boat patrol came down the bay, having on bourd Muyor Grant, Health' Oficer Jenkins, Suverintendont Byrues, Quarantine Comraissioner Allen and Immigration Com- missioner Samuel Grant. The party landed and wero shown through the camp by (ien- oral Hamilton ard Drs. Waslin and Ranch., Mayor Graat said that he had only heard through conversation of the arrango- ments of the camp, and exprossed his astou- 1shment and ungualified satisfaction at the evfect arraugement made for the comfort of he detained passeng rs. He said 1t was the most wonderful piece of work he had ever seon, aud that in his opinion the camp was 1 every detail weil appowted, partic- ularly tho lospital, with which he expressea himself as dolighted. Dr. genkins was equally well pleased and wid that the samitary arrangements were simply perfoet. Hoe said ho did not antici- pato tnat the quarantine would be main- tained for longer than & month, They Were Hungry. No sogner wero the passencers landed than General Hamilton, on hearing that they bad nothing to cat to-day, ordered diuner served to them. That the' poor immigrants were hungry was evidenced by the rush thoy mada for the food, and so eager were they v helped themselves to the victuais with their bunds. The women and cbildren were looked after by the corps of women at- lendants. “The pavilions wereset asido for the Amer- lean citizens and cabin passengers, The Orientals aud single men will be boused in tonts along the veuch until the barracks aro completed. Tmmediately after dinner General Hamil- ton selected” fifty ubie-bodied men* from' among the immigrants and put them to work upon tho structure, under the direction of the foreman carpentor. They will ve paid for their labor, and the barracks will be completed within twenty-four hours.

He said the captain of the Normanuia had not inspected tno ship's s.ccrage during the voyagoe sad that ho ship was so crowded that the utmesphere ot times was fetd. He also said the water supplied on board was unfit to drink. Mr. Flirestone, who was a suioon passepger out 10 Kurope, said the people under deren- ton at Hoffman island wera nearly starved. Ho said all they wot 1o cat for breakfast was coffee, and bread which the chidren could not eat; for dinner soup ana bread and toa and bread for subpor.

Uulike the days of inauguration, this crowd does not como to stay o day or two, but for a wook, Tonight the city is decked with buuting and every form of dec oration that can be utilized to make attrac- tive stands and pavlic ana private buildings. Dacorators bave been at work on tnaay of the public buildings during the day and as a result thoy ave masses of brilliant banners, streamers and bunting, in which tho national colors ara conspicuous and emblems of strepgth, power and prosperity ure to be scen on every pillar and corner, where it was possiblo to tastefully wind some briznt hue, Huge flags and banners ace floating and slap- ping at every poiot, and every oze of the streets seems imbued with a feeling tor the oceasion, pr. 18 Beautifal Weather, Today opened beautifully. The whieh has been unusually cloar for v weel, was even more so today, enough breeze blowiug to keep the flags standing proudly out from thoir poles and cause tho sides of the tents to quiver with a sott, undulating motion. All visitors were on the streets from early morning until even- ing. Iveryoae was benton secing all there was to be seen and their walks and rides extended not ouly through the city itsclf, wut to Arlington, und every point of interest in the vieinity, Many went down the 1’oto- mac river to take a look once again at places that were familiar to thom during the war. The stroets were alive with brass’ bands es- corting arriving posts to their quarters and down 1n tueir quarters, und down in the white lot, which wul be the ficld of attraction during the encampment, thous- ands were gathered to welcome tne arriving uests to their quarter Down the teautitul plateau near the river front und within the shadow of the towering shafts raised to the memory of Washingtou, thero 15 a settlement, sprung up as if by magic, which will be the ubode of 100.000 veterans during their tomporary stay in the city, Here they will be housed, cared for and all the attention given to detall with re- gard to comfort. From an eximination of the camp, the hke of which in size or gen- cral arrangement has soldom been attempted atany previous encampment, it will be seen that nothing will be left undone to provide the soldiers a resting place aimost approach- ing luxury, to while away their eveningsand dream of d'ays gone by. Certainly no camp could be moro perfectly situated from a standvoint of beauty ana accessibility to the city propur. ‘The arrangements, both sani- ary ana otherwise, show a care which could bardly have becn exceedod had it veen the iutention to make the camp an abiding place of long auratiou, instead of & lemporary re- treat of tive or six days.

This is the camp proper, with rows upon rows of flecoy whito army tents, loaved by the War department for the occasion, with here and there a tent of circus dimension, from which a great flag floats, telling that it is the headquarters of the post, bearing the name of some of thelate war chicitains, A more suitable plain, and a more level and appropriate piece of ground could not bo found for a camp site. It is Lear the president’s residence and cousists of a circular plateau a mile around, of grecn sward never befors used for any purpose ex- cept tue drills of competing compunies of solaiers. Today it is dotted from ena to eud and side to side with hundreds of tents.
