The bat tleships and cruisers of the American fleet were anchored in a long line ex tending from the lower end of the river, off Twenty-second street to a point off 129 th street. Everything was in perfect order and the metal work as bright and shining as diligent scouring and polishing could make it. Officers and men were in their gala clothes and every ship presented a model of neatness and cleanliness. A slight mist was stilT hanging over the waters of the lower bay, when the British squadron appeared, led by the flagship, the Drake. Silently the ships of war steamed through the narrows. When Governor's Island was sighted, the Drake hoisted the American flag and the first boom of the national sa lute of twenty-one guns, fired by the forward guns of the Drake, vibrated over the water. The last shot had scarcely been echoed from the Staten Island hills, whe nthe saluting battery of Governor's Island fired the first shot of the national salute in answer to the salute of the visitors. The flag sa lute was given, as the British warships majestically steamed past Governor's Island and slowly moved up the river, crowded with many hundreds of craft of every description. The whistles and sirens of the river craft and large steamers added to the noise of the firing and all along the British ships were greeted with cheers and the wav ing of hats and handkerchiefs. Once more the guns of the Drake began to speak, where the flagship ap proached its anchorage near the foot of Forty-second street, where the Maine. Admiral Evans' flagship, was already anchored. The admiral's salute of thirteen guns, given by the Drake was answered by a similar salute by the Maine. It was a magnificent sight, as the British cruisers steamed up the river, past the American battleships and cruisers, all gaily decorated wit.i flags and with the rails manned tt> honor the guests. After the visiting ships had reached their respective anchorages, the cus tomary exchange of courtesies between Prince Louis of Battenberg and Ad miral Evans, required by naval eti quette, took place. In the afternoon Prince Louis and many of the British officers went ashore. In the evening they will be the guests of Mayor Mc- Clellan. at an official dinner partv. while the minor officers will be the guests of the American officers at varl ous receptions, theater parties and other entertainments.
