The presence of the U. S. war ships Dolphin and Cincinnati , on the peaceful waters of the Tappau Zee, was one of the great attractions of the day and occasion. The thunder of their salute shook the very hills and reverberated along the distant heights, while bedecked with flags they were "a thing of beauty " to behold, their gay colors resplendent under the bright October sky. They were almost constantly surrounded by a fleet of yachts and small steamers, and during the day thousands of visitors enjoyed the privilege of parading their decks. The officers in command extended every courtesy and won the admiration of all. The photo representations of these war vessels, with the list of officers of each, which appear on the opposite page, are of interest in this connection.
