Monday, April 20, 1789 Amidst the acclama tions of all ranks of citizens, His Excellency John Adams, Esq., vice-president of the United States, arrived in New York. The caval'cade which escorted His Excellency into the city was numerous and truly respectable. From the Connecticut line to Kingsbridge he was attended by the light horse of West Chester County under the command of Major Pintard. At Kingsbridge, he was met by General Malcom with the officers of his brigade and the city troop of horse commanded by Captain Stakes also, by officers of distinction, many members of Congress and a large number of citizens in carriages and on horseback. While passing the Fort a federal salute was fired. His Excellency alighted at the home of the Honorable John Jay, Esq., in Broadway, where the committee of both houses of Congress, appointed for that purpose, attended to congratulate His Ex cellency on his arrival.
