DEWEY’ 8 WELCOME HOME

Graphic and Interesting Account by a Charlottetonian in New York.

At last we have the “ ‘Great George’’ with us. When phreleft American soil eight- een months agg thé was hardly known. He was then &0 ofdinary Comsnodess ‘in the United States Navy. - other day he returned a full- ‘hedguah ‘ital, being the third of such rack in the historv of the United States, The reception ac- corded him was the greatest ever known | in New York. We may.safely say that no other individual ever received a like re~ ception inethe wesiern hemisphere.

For the past week or ten days the city had been bugy getting on its holiday attire, the demand for decorations be‘ng far in excess of the supply, tll to-day it wonld be difficult to find a house that did not sport one or more portraits of the Ad- miral ‘* its windows. Regular business has be st a@stand-still. The people were wild with excitement, covered themselves with badges, buttons, etc., and everywhere

you weat it was Dewey! ny Dewey ! Dewey neckties, Dewey <erchiefs, canes, watches, candy, boots © * in fact

everything that could havea face printed or pasted oo it were for sale by the street fakirs and were readily bought up by the “enthusiasts.” It did not make any dif-~ ference whether that face bore any resem- blance to the “hero” or not as long as the

Shamrock was approaching the line from the eastward and the Columbia from the: westward. The official time of the start ' was Shamrock 11.1537; Columbia il. 16.20.

At 12 o’clock the Shamrock was quite ao eighth of a mile ahead of the Co!um-~ bia.

At 1215 the wind canted to the north» The Columbia in shore, caught it first, and in jast five minutes the Columbia had walked past the Sham- rock and was the leading boa’.

The time taken at the outer mark was Columbia, 1.37.57 ; Shamrock, 1.39.58.

It will be seen by the cfficial figures that in the ron ot fifteen mi'es from start to the outer mark the Columbia outsailed the Shamrock by 2 minutes 44 seconds.

The Cotumbia led until afew minutes before three o’clock when the wind left her

west,» being

for fully five minutes, She had the in- sbore berth. The Shamrock offeshore held at the

breeze from the northeast. At 3.11 the Shawrock was well ahead.

Between 3.15 and 3.2) the Columbia with a few fresb puffs from the rnortheasi walking -upon the Shamrock

began which was then quarter of a mile to windward of ber, but before she could overhaul the Shamrock the wind died out again.

The Shamrock continued to hold a breeze and by 3.35 she was nearly a mile to windward of the Columbia.

As it was necessary according to the rules to ‘nish the race within five anda palf hours it became evident at 4 o’clock, as tbe boats were some five miles to lee~ ward, that the raze would have to be des clared off.

This wasdoneat 445,—7 rile the boats ' were atill four miles away from the finish,

Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Ken',of Vanecuver,

The Olympia was expecied to arrive on ‘Thursday evening, Sep:ember 28th. But much to the surprise of everyone she made her appearance off Scotland lightship on Tuesday Sept. 26:b, at 49 a. m. Just here we might state the enterprise of the Yankee new-paper is showz by the fact that the N. Y. Jourval had an extra out announcirg the arrival of the flagship aud 20) copies of same extra on board a tug making its way to the ship before she anchored off Southwest Spit at 7.40 a, m. The rivalry between the World and Journal, in the way of being the first in anything like this, is very keen; and when « the Journal’s tug returned with the first message from the Admiral, it had scored a big lead over its opponent.

‘Soon all the papers were out with it aad business was booming with the newsboy selling the latest “exiry.” The Marine Observatory signaled a message of wel- come and Dewey replied with “hanks” at his mast-head. Not long after this Fort Hancock fired a aalute of 17 guns, the number due an efficer of bis rank, and then everyone that coud raise a voice was ealuting or welcoming bim till the harbor was full of tugs, etce, all trying to outdo the other in welcoming home “the oniy George. Aumira] Dewey’s son, nephew aud other “members of bis family were in- vited by the Journal to go dowa the bay on the yacht Buccaneer to visit their dis- tinguished relative. The offer of this yacht, which is a beauty, and the private property of the editor, W. R. Hearet, was readily accepted by the members ot the family, Who soon were on their way tothe ship. A!] the relatives are stopping at the Waldorf Astoria, the guests of the city. Dewey’s only son, George, who is a salesman in a wholesale dry goods store in NewYork figured in a rather amusing epi~ sode one day last week. He was showing his samples io a Sixth Avenue Store when a young lady rushed up, threw her arms about bis neck and before he could say “Jack Robinson” gave tim the loveliest kise#she kaew how” and told him it was all on account of “‘his dear daddy.” He didn’t bear her remarks however, for as soon as she “Jet go her hold” he flew out of the store and down the street till he considered himself out of the range of the enemy,

aud despatched a messenger boy after his sam ples.

The celebration proper started Thursday night with the illumination of the East and North Bi vers. The words **Welcom?2 Dewey” were displayed on Brooklyn Bridge and were so Jarge that they could be read distinctly on board the Olympia nine miles away. ‘These monstrous letters were 36 feet high and composed of several thousand incandescent lights.
