more serious rupture.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Por the
last time the old sloop of war Ports
mouth came up the Hudson river yes
terday under practically full sail,
bringing the first division of the New
Jmey naval reserves back from the
fleet practice In 1 Gardiner's Bay.
Bravely the sixty five year old ship
passed by steam and sail craft in the
river, while thousands of persons
watched from both shores the uuual
sight of a full rigged ship under sail
assaying to navigate the crowded tho
roughfare. Last night ' the Ports
mouth came to anchor oft" Yonkers
on account of the wind dying out, and
today will sail on to West Point if
the weather favors,
The entrance of the old warship in
to the lower harbor was the occasion
for an ovation from every vessel that
passed her. -There
was a light southwesterly

Captan Peters before reaching Gar
diner's Ray declared the ship should
end its days with a voyage befitting
the dignity of the old vessel, and the
trip to West Point was planned. The
dying out of the breeze stopped
the journey off Yonkers. There was
