lFROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
RosroN June 16.-The city is in an incOnceivable
excitement to-day, aud the popular success Of the
IrbIee is enormous Cen Grant and the Anvil Chorus
ooetber are too much for Boston. Everybody is out
Of doors and out of mind, too. The Common is full
The streets are so full that motion is almost mposs-
,le Military are marching with much difficulty
tbrongh Tremontst and the other lanes, and around
the Coliseum the mass of people has been so dense
al dav that it has been difficult to get up to the doors
It's holiday not only for Boston but for the whole
state So great has been the crowd Of strangers that
several hundred people have actually been unable to
obtain food Hotels and restaurants were even
forced 10 lock their doors to keep out the hungry
multitude whom they could not supply.
President Grant had most enthusiastic reception,
IN which at least 100000 people took part lie ar
rived by the Bristol line at o'clock a. m, and was
met by the local Reception Committees who con-
dpeted him to the St. James Hotel. There Gov.
ClaAin and staff, Secretary Boutwell,, and other
monument gentlemen were in attendance. At lOl
O'clock the President proceeded to the State House
with cavalry escort Here he was received by
Gov Clahin IN whose room were Senator Wilson,
Admiral Fauagut Mr.. Thornton (the Enghsh
Minister) Commodore Rogers, the Judges OIL
the Supreme Court, Gen. Benham the Hon. George
b. Loring the Hon. Onslow Stearns Governor of
New-Hampshire), Madame Parepa Rosa, Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, and other prominent gentlemen and
ladies' He also visited the Senate and House OF
Representatives. The President and staff, Executive
Council members of Legislature, &c, then took car
riages the Presidents turnout being an elegant
barouche drawn by six horses, and reviewed the
IremOnt-St.
The troops numbered goo 500 more than turned
ont when Gen. Grant was here before, or when the
Prince of Wales visited this city.
After the review the party proceeded TO the Coli
seum. escorted to the doors by a portion of the
troops, and were received with military hOnOrs and
a still more gratifying ovation from the audience
and the musicians as they took their places in the
hall. The musical exercises were much more suc-
oessful than those of yesterday. Most of the cho-
ruses we're in good time and the singers were more
confident, and consequently more effective. The
StarSpangled Banner and the "Anvil Chorus"
were repeated with all the stupendous adjuncts of
guns bells sledge-hammeTs and fremen, and, of
course threw the audience into frenzy. The arul-
lerymen have been very successful. They shot a
gentleman Yesterday and if they had killed him it is
understood that he would have had statue on
the Common, the first martyr of the Jubi-
lee Mendelssohn's "He watching over Israel" sung
To-day by the full chorus was the best performance
which has yet been given during the festival
Madame Parepa Rosa made great sensation with
Handels " Let the bright SeTaphim," and Miss AIDE
aide Phillips sang an Aria of Mozarts,' Admiral
James Fisk. jr., likewise created a sensation. He
was in the full uniform of the Fall River Navy and
entered the hall to the air Of See the cOnqueTng
hero comes" Gen. Grant, Admiral Farragut, COmmo-
dore Rogers, the Governor, and many other digni-
-odo ina no
crowded four or five thousand people being unable
to find seats. Excellent order preserved though
the noise of wandering feet about the stairs and
lobbies interfered a great deal with the music.
Considerable excitement was caused in the par
quette of the Coliseum, at about o'clock this after
noon, by the sudden death, from heart disease, of
brs George L. Dunlap of Chicago, who fell from her
seat within a short distance of Gen. Grant, and ex
pired She was in the midst of friends and her body
vas at once taken to the reception room but all at
temps at resusciaton were futile, She was a sister
Of the late Hon. Joseph A. Pond, President OF the
Massachusetts Senate.
