Sept S0.-Th fireworks show last night wu a filling climax to th day celebration. It began op posite the Olympla's anchorage, just below Grant's tomb, wher a srriea of scows were anchored. . These humble mud scows were load ed to th gnnwhals. with serried rows of rockets, whole picket fence formed of reman candles, an endless array of mortars, bombs and all thos sorts of fiendish Inventions. When seven bells rang out from the OlympIVs deck, the aerlel artillery was let It oe F orn that Urn on it was on continuous glare of many colored Urea, and a continuous roll of rattling explosions, till th fiery trail of the serpent wound Its way around down th battery, engulfing Governors Island and Bedlo' island In Ita colls. All the beautiful effects with which the visitor to Manhattan Beach la fa miliar were produced, but on a mush grander scale. Many new features were added. Among thee the electric bombs, which certainly electrified every one within five mile by their ear splitting detonation. Another new device was a specie of bomb that burst Into an enormous star fish of fire. Sporadic arm of fire radiated from the explosive centre, producing a vivid effect While the fireworks popped, th Jicklea on the Olympla cheered and the stesmboat whistles screeched. Then the Olympla's crew, not to be outdone. put their excellent brass band Into commission and th (trains ot "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town To night." Joined with th bursting of bombs and the screaming of Are spirits. After half an hour of this sort of thing, the cargoes of these scows were exhausted. Then three tugs hitched on to one another, a string of similarly laden scows anchored out In the stream and started with them down the river. A pushing crowd of excursion had gath ered In a black circle about the fire. works sows, almost hiding them from the Olympla even. The sailors got a good view of the picture of Dewey, however, and cheered it loud and long. The fireworks scows coming down tho river circled about with their bat teries still belching up every Imaginable variety of combustible. The Olympla rtmalned the object of all absorbing Interest and her graceful lines were the subject of universal comment but the New York seemed even more bril liant with her shield of fire above her bows and. her glowing fighting top. The strong search light were kept In almost constant motion, so that their effect was not unlike lightning. Tugs bobbing up and down the river seemed mere glow worms from the shore. From the deck of the Olympla spurt ed a myriad of stars, showers of red, white snd blue, sheaves of gold and fountains of emerald hue. Chorousei f "Ahs" and "Ohs" from the spectators accentrated the explosion of the most effective pieces. Satisfactory as were the targe de vice representing Admiral Dewey and the Olympla, no fea'.ure of the night's display seemed to attract more atten tion than the great letters "Welcome Dewey ' which were brought out In hundreds of electric Vghta on the mid dle span of tha Brooklyn bridge. These l.'ttem could be distinguished In Bay- enne, N. J., a distance of eleven miles. Almost equally brilliant Illuminations were msde from a dosen of the high eat buildings down town, colored lights sdding to the effect . A motto device "Welcome Home, Victorious Admiral." 1.900 square feet in extent was a feature of the night's iliplay. as was a novelty called "Our mammoth com at a height of OOING INTO MRXIOO.
