NEW TORK. 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

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

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.

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

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

the Olympla, no fea'.ure of the night's
display seemed to attract more atten
tion than the great letters "Welcome

hundreds of electric Vghta on the mid
