Hudson sailed under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company, built by 



patriotic citizens of Holland and to be presented to the Commission.

the Hudson Biver. When the head of the column reaches Forty-second 

 Street, the two leading warships will swing out of line and cast anchor 

 opposite each other; a little further on the second pair will then per- 

 form the same evolutions, to be succeeded in turn by all the other 

 warships, the line finally extending from Forty-second Street to 175th 

 Street. The civic fleet will continue on its way, passing to the left of 

 the warships until the head of the line is reached, when the vessels will 

 cross over and move down the river between the warships and the 

 Manhattan shore, to 110th Street. 



In the meanwhile the replicas of the Half Moon and the Clermont, 

 accompanied by their more immediate escort, will pass up between the 

 lines of warships to 110th Street and will be greeted by a salute in 

 passing. Arriving at 110th Street, the formal presentation of the two 

 vessels will be made, the exercises taking place on a landing stage con- 

 structed at that point. 



The parade of the civic fleet will be repeated in the evening, start- 

 ing at 7 :30 p.m., and will make a very brilliant spectacle, for the 

 moving vessels as well as the warships will be illuminated with electric 

 lamps, which will outline their form with a tracery of fire.
