Van Wyck" and "Patrol" heading the great naval parade. They are steaming along at full speed, their propellers churning the water into white swirling eddies as they pass. The picture is taken at quarter of eleven as the procession is approaching the Battery, from the anchorage off Staten Island. THE FLEET STEAMING UP NORTH RIVER. Affords a magificent nearby view of the port side of the "Brooklyn," as she slowly forges ahead of the yacht on which our artists were stationed. Every detail is brought out with wonderful clearness. The bright sunshine plays ou her grim armor plated side, showing every porthole, i -pounder, 6-pounder, 5-inch and 8-inch guns. The jackies are lined up along the rails, spotless in holiday white. VICTORIOUS SQUADRON FIRING SALUTE. The Flagship "New York" reached Grant's tomb at precisely 11.30, and four seconds after the picture begins, fired the first shot of the national salute of 21 guns. The "Massachusetts" follows example, close behind. As she approaches, the smoke thickens. The "Oregon" now conies into sight. By this time the firing has become general; and as she looms up through the thickening smoke her outlines grow more and more distinct, until she finally emerges into full view. The effect is magnificent. One can only wonder how the "men behind the guns" could have aimed so accurately and with such deadly effect in their victorious fight with the Spanish ships. This entire view is without doubt the finest moving picture film that has ever been taken. Not only are the smoke effects superb, but the detail and definition of the picture leave absolutely nothing to be desired. REVIEWING THE "TEXAS" AT GRANT'S TOMB. The background is formed by the commanding heights of Riverside Park, on the crest of which Grant's Tomb rears its snow white dome against the sky. The bow of the "Texas" swings into view ; and Old Glory seems to wave right through the screen, so close were our artists. U. S. CRUISER "BROOKLYN," NAVAL PARADE. Taken after the salute was fired, as she swung around to port to take position for the trip down the Hudson. Several tugs and small yachts are in the foreground, gaily decked with flags and bunting. Excursion crafts of every description are seen in the background, toward the Jersey shore. Admiral Schley's twin-starred flag of blue flies from the main mast together with other small flags, evidently a signal of some kind. U. S. BATTLESHIP "OREGON." Here is the wonderful war vessel that does so much credit to her Pacific coast builders. A 10,000 mile journey without a mishap; and then, without repairs or overhauling of any kind, active and glorious service at Santiago. She dashes by at full speed, preceded and followed by hosts of yachts, tugs, river steamboats and excursion crafts of all kinds. Her commander, the brave Captain Barker, stands on the bridge with his navigating officer. Strung along on her decks are the crew, in picturesque fashion.
