There was little need of introduction, as Admiral Dewey had served alongside most of these officials. There was no formality and after the first greetings Secretary Long invited the admiral to accompany him to the President’s library, wh McK ley and the members of Cabinet were awaiting him.

The head of the civic parade which had been arranged in honor of the ad- | miral began to pass in review before him shortly after 8 o’clock. There were | many novel and interesting features re- | lleving the sameness of the ordinary | civic parade. The spectacle, as the marchers came up the length of the avenue in the glare of the red lights, under sweeping arches of stars from | thousands of roman candles, was beau- tiful and impressive. The beginning of | the march was heralded by the burst- |ing of thousands of giant crackers, | while bombs along the line sent show- | ers of fire into the air. | The column was headed by General George Harris, chief marshal, leading | & numerous body of bicyclists. The | wheels were interwoven with garlands |and wreaths of flowers and greens and “olored bunting, and every wheelman carried Chinese lanterns. Many were in costume. Marine Band came the veteran organi- zations, and Dewey, himself a veteran and a Grand Army of the Republic inan, looked with pride, mingled with | sorrow, upon the gray heads who marched past with as bold a step as | advancing years permitted. Rounds of |applause went out to the veterans of the Spanish war, who mustered in creditable numbers for the parade. A formidable detachment in the line wasg that of the International Machin- ists, following a great 5-inch rifle can- (non from the Washington navy yard, | bearing the inscription: ‘“We make the guns for Dewey.” The Catholic societies of the District made a special effort to do honor to the admiral and with excellent results, | for their contingent was one of the most numerous and effective in the column. They bore great jlluminated | crosses. Many of the orders were in uniform, and all of the marchers car- yried flaming red torches. | The letter carriers had all local postal cars in line, ablaze with | electric light, spelling words of welcome | to Dewey. One of their features was a | gigantic illuminated envelope addressed /1o Admiral George Dewey, Manlila, and | marked “Returned to Washington.” walks | Close behind the splendid | of the | 1P e s sk ok ke sk ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok R + + & NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Naval + 4+ Constructor Francis T.

SHAMROCK SECURES A TIME ALLOWANCE NEW YORK, Oct. 2—One of the| sreatest surprises for = yachtsmen | ‘wm'e the arrival of the Shamrock in | these waters was the announcement | 1ly made at the New York Yacht Club to-night that the Columbia would te have allow the Shamrock six and thirt hundredths seconds on | thirty-mile cours It was generally supposed by yachts- men who have seen both yachts sail i:lxul in the drydock that the Shamroc 3 | by reason.of her greater sail spread a | @and apparently larger hull, would have | to give the | Columbia something like a minute time allowance over the thirty- mile courses which they are to sail. It appears, however, that Designer Fif while giving the Shamrock a larger sail plan than the Columbia has, at the ame time so constructed her hull so ¢ to glve her greater free board, displacement and consequently shorter waterline by almost two fe At 7 o'clock to-night two of the r ation measurer tific showing the Columt the other the Shamrock on the bulletin board « Facht Club’s hous y the club’s offic Hyslop, and rexd Dimensions—Leng lumbia 98.66, Shamrock From after end of mail boom to for point of measurement, Columbia * 181 feet, Shamrock 18,1 From foresail of point Shamrock 7 le: % t. gu- | one tions > > signed John foremast to forward | Columbia i | 78, | | 67.64. | “Topmast—Columb! ifth, equals Shamrc 5.06, minus one-fifth, equals 45.4. ght of upper side of main boom to | topsail halyard block, Columbia 134.75, Shamrock 126,28, Square feet o lumb] length sall area as per rule, Co- fa 114.61, Shamrock 1le.lo. s per tuie, Columbia 101.92. | $ topmast measures 58.6, | ifth off, leaving 16.45 feet. By these figures it will be seen that | all the Shamrock’'s spars, except the topmast, are longer than those of the Columbia. For instance, the Columbia's main boom measures 108.27; the Sham- rock’s 109.67, making the latter spar 1.40 longer than the Columbia's. Meas- urements of the gaff show 2.69 in favor of the Shamrock. The Shamrock’s spin- naker boom is 6.11 longer than the Co- lumbla’s, but her topmast is 6.44 shorter than that of the American boat. Judging from the stability of the Shamrock during her recent trial spins off $andy Hook Designer Fife has been able to glve his boat a greater amount of lead ballast than at first supposed by the yachting sharps who have predicted that the Shamrock would not be able to carry her sall. Those yachtsmen at the club to-night who heard of the measurements of the | two yachts agree that the Shamrock will really prove a worthy antagonist of the tenth defender of the America’s | cup. i It was half-past 1 o’clock to-day be- | fore the Shamrock was warped into | the drydock where the Columbia had | been measured and the caissen closed, | making the water smooth for the meas. urements. Just before going on board is yacht, Sir Thomas Lipton said: ‘T am extremely sorry that Mr. Fife is not present. It is a very unfortunate thing at this time. He is unable to leave his hotel, but I hope he can be with us to-morrow during the race. We have done the best we could without him to-day.” Sir Thomas, Vice Commander Sher- man Crawford and H. McGill Downey of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, with Henry F. Lippitt of the New York Yacht Club, who will represent the lat- ter club on the Shamrock during the race, then went on board with Meas- urer Hyslop, his assistant and Captain Nathaniel Herreshoff, the designer of the Columbia. After the measurer's steel chain had been stretched from the topmast down the mast to the top of the main boom and from the bowsprit end to the main boom end all those who will sail in the Shamrock during the race, some thirty in all, including Sir Thomas Lipton, sat on deck on each side amidshipe while Measurer Hyslop, Captain Hereshoft and Harry Lippett proceeded to meas- ure the yacht's waterline. This work occupied two hours and a half. y at the ker boom it was found that the pole was about three inches longer than the | restrictions allowed—that from the The for Alaska, and a high tension current is generated immediately and across between the two balls, or in other words, the per- pendicular wire is rapidly charged and discharged and electric waves gener- ated by this peculiar action pass out into space until they reach the receiv- ing apparatus on the cable boat, which immediately responds to every impulse of the transmitter. While the whole arrangement of the apparatus appears simple in the ex- treme there are many little details which experts in wireless telesraphy are alone capable of managing, and al- though when everything is perfectly adjusted it is an easy matter to trans- mit at the rate of twenty words a min- ute, if anything should go wrong with the installation it requires the trained eyve of an expert to locate and remove the difficulty. Mr. Clarke says that wireless telegraphy is rapidly ap- proaching such perfection of detail that it will be but a very short time until it is capable of bding operated easily by ordinary Morse operators, and fur- f thousands of | ther than this, predicts that it will be | ists that the most important organs of | Volts.

Just before le the navy-yard for his steam cht Erin Sir Thomas Lipton called his captains and gave them final instructions about the preparations for to-morrow’s event, which means so much to him and them. He had evidently gathered from what he had seen and heard while the yacht | was being measured that she certainly would not have to give the Columbia any time allowance, and he was cor- respondingly cheerful when he came to take leave of his two skippers. The weather indications, according to the special forecast sent out from ‘Washington, are that the wind will be fresh from the northeast. If so the yachts will start from Sandy Hook lightship and run almost dead before the wind down the Jersey coast to a point just beyond Long Branch. According to a dispatch received from Monmouth Beach Life-saving Station at 10 o’clock to-night there will e quite a heavy sea off Sandy Hook to-morrow unless the wind moderates or shifts to some other quarter.

The forward over- hang was first measured. A plumb line was suspended from the very tip of the boom, and, getting into a boat, Mr. Hyslop, by means of a long measuring rod, got the length from the plumb to the water line on the bow. The after overhang._was obtained in a similar manrer, and after these dimensions were obtained the measurer applied the tape from the taffrail to the bow to get the length over all. After making a few calculations Mr. Hyslop announced to Messrs. Iselin and Herreshoff the result of his measurements. Evidently the figure was somewhat less than the managing owner desired to sail the Columbia on, for a dozen men were set ashore in the tender. and, going to the steam tender Plymouth, carried over to the Columbia twenty pigs of lead, aggregating about 1700 pounds in weight. Previous to taking the measurement a lot of dunnage was brought up from the Columbia’s cabin and put in several large row boats, as it was the intention of the captain to clean out from the hull all movable ar- ticles, Mr. Leeds stated that the pigs of lead were placed in the Columbia to make up for the loss of weight occasioned by the removal of the dunnage, but it was noticed that when the ballast had been added the Columbia sat locwer in the water than she did before. Then Mr. Hyslop measured her line again and the length, 89.66 1-100 inches, proving satis- | factory to the owner and Designer Herreshoff, a V-shaped mark in red —————————————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE., ARRIVED.
