ierday with it's own enthusiasm, Never was
such pageant witnessed before in this city
THE contents Of every house empied itself in,

seers came AOIking in from the suburbs, and
indeed. from all parts Of our common country.
The day was magnificent, indeed, If the Com.
mon Council Committee had control Of the el.
emenis, they could not have prepared one more
suited for the occasion.
BY early snnrise the crowd commenced to
collect on Broadway. Every available look
out whether window, houseiop, awning post
or iree-was secured by IL o'clock. BY
o'clock the great avenue was one dense mass
Of human beings from Bowling Green TO I'm.
ion Square distance OF three miles. They
filled the sidewalks, the doOrsioops, the win.
dows and the middle OF the street from curb TO
curb.
One Of the prominent features Of the day
was the profuson OF decorations, inscriptions,
notices, &C., erected from the sides Of the
buildings aud hung from housetop to housetop,
They were oll expressive OF the utmos, good
will towards the old country, and Of hope for
the future. Some Of the decorations were
elabointely gotten up, particularly those IN
front Of the great hotels, Some Of the in.
scrptions were happily expressed, bu, most
Of them were fiat, stupid, stale and flunkeyish
in the extreme. However, they made grand
show with the nutlering Of flags from caves
and balcony.
The procession commenced moving up
Broadway about o'clock. The military, as
usual, We're the feature oI the procession, and
the Seventh Regiment was Me feature of the
military. The crack regiment never appeared
TO better advantage. The Seventy.frst also
called forth much commendaton. All the
military made a fine appearance better than
we have ever noticed before The Second
Division followed, being composed of the city
authorities with the city guests. The frsrcar.
ringe contained Cyrus w. Field, the lion Of
the day, who was obliged to keep his feet du.
ring most of the ride TO respond TO the en-.
thusiastic paudts Of his fellow countrvmen.
Capt. Hudson, in another carriage, was also
much cheered. Other barouches drawn by
four horses each, followed with Capt. Dayman

David Dudley Field, Esq, orator of the day,
Peter Cooper, Lord Napier, Dr. EIiphaet Mott,
Archbishop Hughes, Mayor Tiemann and 9TH

Enthusiastically greeted and shaking hands with
the crowd. The various civic societies follow
ed; the hoy's frcm RandaIs Island; the Ca
diets of Temperance; the butchers, carmen,
milkmen, draymen, aud representatives of the
other trades, all making good appearance
and turned out in full numbers.
The route of the procession was UP Broad
way and Fifth avenue, and through Forty-sec-
ond street to the north entrance Of the Crystal
Palace 1t was two hours passing the Metro.
Ipotar Hotel, on Broadway. Soon after ar

In the evening the fremen turned out and
made grand display. The line was formed
on Fifth avenue the right resting on Fourth
street The fremen were dressed in red shirts,
black pants and fire caps The procession did
not start until 10 o'clock, but it made fine
appearance. New York has as stalwart body
of fremen ms ever worked an engine or ham
died hose. The light from the torches, the
illumination on Broadway, and the constant
discharge of fireworks all combined to form a
scene at once grand and imposing. 1t must be
allowed that New YORK never witnessed Il
greater display. Not carriage was allowed
in Broadway, and yet so dense was the mass of
human beings who crowded this immense
thoroughfare, that it was almost impossible TO
get through the street. Not less than half a
million of people could have taken part in the
celebration. The country for days has been
pouring upon us an avalanche Of visitors and

To crown all, the fete passed off without dis.
