CELEBRATION OF THE EVENT in NEW YORK.

II there was no jammed crowd upon Broadway
yesterday it was not because Of any indifference on
the part Of metropolitan population at the COM
pletion Of so gigantic work as the Pacific Rail-
road. Everybody felt happy over the event and
expressed their pleasure in that quiet, thoughtful
and dignihed manner peculiar to the citizens Of the
greatest city In the New World Nevertheless, yester
day fags were flying from all the public and many
private buildings in New York. BY order Of Mayor
Hall 100 guns were fired on the City Hall Park The
booming Of the cannon and clouds Of smoke that
rose upwards with each discharge attracted a
goodly number of persons TO the spot; but this
was the only crowd-if IL could be called
such-seen IN the city yesterday. On Wall street
some excitement was manifested. The bulls, aided
by the news Of the road being completed managed
TO toss the stocks of several roads t0leraby high.
This morning New York woke up calm and serene.
The Pacific Railroad is O matter Of course. Every
preparation Is complete to receive and ship the pro-
ducts Of nations from and to the Orient

CHICAGO, May 10, 1869.
The celebration OF the completion OF the great
interoceanic railway connection to-day was the
most successful affair of the kind that ever took
place in Chicago, and probably in the West. It was
entrely imprOmptu, and therefore almost every man
and woman and child in the city did their part
toward making 1t success. The procession was
unique in appearance and immense In length. which,
at the lowest estimate was seven miles. During
the moving of the procession Vice President Colfax

tons of that overgrown monopoly are known. All
accounts can gather agree that the company have
