There was commenced In New York Saturday, September 25, an eight-day celebration In commem oration of the discovery of the Hud son river 300 years ago and the an niversary of the first steamboat which went up the river 100 years ago. These two Important events have been commemorated In a man ner which surpassed all other events celebrated In modern tlriies. Great preparations having been made and all the governments of the earth having been invited to participate, it was r u It natural that the celebra tion should be on a scale that would be a credit to I he nation, and especi ally to tho state of New York. There were 5,000,000 people who witnessed the opening ceremony, 2,000,000 were stationed on the west side of the city facing the Hudson river from the liallery to Spytcn Duyvil creek; 2,000,000 more on the New Jersey side of the river extending from Jersey City to a point on the Palisades, and 1,000,000 an the water front of lower lirooklyn. These millions occupied every point of vant nge find were deeply Interested in the historic events of 300 years ago, and the event of 200 years later. Long before the official cere monies of the first day of the Hud son -Fulton celebration were to begin, 500 ships running from ocean liner to the pert little motorboat, waited restlessly at their moorings in the lower bay for the signal that would start them on a gay procession about the 10 miles of warships at anchor In I he Hudson. Kvery craft was decked with flags and bunting, and every band In the vicinity of New York had been engaged to provide music for the hundreds of thousands of persons who were to make the cir cuit of the International armada on those boats. A thousand v csscls Is what thev saw that day i: ml r the Sfpiomber sun, and what they looked at that nk'ht under the glare, scare ly less brilliant, of millions of .-lectrie lights.

One hundred and twenty steam boats ami ferryboats, 7a steamboats, 7a motor boats. Three (hundred tugs and steam lighters. Four hundred sailing craft and small launches. All but the greatest ami the least of these craft gathered In the upper bay for the parade that escorted the Half Moon and the Clermont up the Hudson, The warships remained nt their anchorages between Forty-fourth and Twenty-second streets, while the sail boats and the launches took posi tion along tho route where they could afford those nhonrd the best view of the spectacle. The Nuviil Pageant. The day's great spectacle, not counting tho prim Hues of warships In the North river, was the assembl ing of the naval pageant In the upper bay. Ret ween 10 and 11 o'clock the sijuadron of four American cruisers and five submarines assigned to es cort the Half Moon and the Cler mont, met In the Kill Von Kult, be tween StMen Island and the New ,terev shore. The Clermont was tow ed from Its nUht anchorage ;it Staph ton, 1! I , to Vln the Moon at Fort George. The man who dlicocied th II Ihi son rlvi r ami the man whei.'

Meanwhile the rest of the parade was assembling Moon and the and when Clermont thi 1 III r finished their round of the upper b:r and . ... ... .... t,.. , sailed into tne mourn oi uie a-.uj they fell into line. The assemblage of the f.00 or more boats that followed Hudson's and Fulton's craft up the river oc cupied the whole morning, ann It was not until after 1 o'clock that fhe mass straightened out Into some thing like procession formation. , First came police and scout and patrol boats and torpedoes, then the Half Moon and Clermont with their Immediate escort, then, In order, the five squadrons or steam merchant craft and the ferryboats, steam craft, motor boats, tugs and steam j lighters and sailing craft. The boats moved up the Hudson in double line at a speed of eight miles an hour, but such was the num ber of participants that the column was nearly 15 miles long. When the Half Moon and the Clermont reach ed the I'nlted Stales ship Newport, which marked the southern end of the line of warships at Forty-fourth street, they passed up on the New York side of the river, while the other vessels kept on between the men-of-war and the New Jersey shore. Kigbt Days of Pageantry. For the next eight, days the people of New York and visitors from all parts of the world witnessed a series of pageants surpassing anything hitherto attempted in the way of his toric commemoration. The crowning attainments of the 29th century were exhibited to set off those of tin past. Thn leviathans of the world's navies had gathered to honor the two little ships that made history one and three centuries ago. About the waters, where SO warships were at anchor, the conquerors of the air ex hibited their mastery. Airship flights, naval parades, military parades and historical pageants all contributed to the anniversary, Kvery important nation was represented. At 10 o'clock Saturday morning the Half Moon and the Clermont -accurate reproductions of the little Dutch shallop In which an Knpli.-h master and a mixed crew first a (ended tin1 Hudson river from .Man hattan Island to Albany, and of ii'.' ungainly monster, belching smoke and hissing vapor, In which Robert Fulton, an American Inventor, made the same distance for the first time propelled by steam, moved from their inlet anchorage In the lee of Staten Island to salute the vast bulk of the assembled American and foreign 'hips of war In the lower harbor. Millions of Children Take Part. Kdneatlonal emphasis was laid on all the more spectacular features of the celebration by arranging that wherever possible the 1 .nOil.iin'i school children of Greater New York had a part In them, and I' was the design of the promoters throughout to arrange their displays in such wise that they might ho seen by the largest number of persons. On Friday, October 1. there was a junction of the up-sNito and New Yoik City divisions of the celebra tion, when the lesser of the ships of war escorted the Clermont and the Half Moon to Newburg, where they were turned over to the authorities from Albany. I hiring the follow ing week, beginning October 3. there will be dedicatory, historic and spectular exercises nt various points between New York and Cohoes.

Rain commenced falling last Fri day night but in such moderation that the parched earth was only wet down two and a half to three inches. The dust was laid, but, no other per ceptible good was accomplished ex cept that tho average citizen was highly pleased with even a moderate downpour. It was in every mind the precursor of more rain and fall plowing. '1 11 1 s year we need early rain so as to enable the clearing of land to go forward, likewise the con struction of irrigation, stump and brush pulling, plowing for fall crops and the planting of certain fruit trees. All these win I,,, j,, order if it will rain more abundantly, so let the moisture come, not only In great drops, but in regular showers to bless the earth and man. On the mountain let it roar, Down the hillside let it pour. DeWitt's Carholi;:ed Witch Hazel Salve is uneipialled for anvthing where salve is needed, but It. is .es pecially good for piles.
