TIE DAY In PATERSON, N. J.

Pfngst Monday is always largely observed
holiday in Paterson and yesterday, with the nuiner-
GUS pcnics and other festivities suspension OF bus
ness and other characteristics Of general charac-
ter, would have been no exception 10 the rule, but
it was also the day decided upon by the Germans
for their grand peace celebration, In consequence
of which the entire people were fairly alive with ex-
element.
Nearly every second building in the city was
DECORATED WITH EvERGREENs
flags and banners of red white and green inter-
mixed with the Stars and Stripes. But the coors Of
the Fatherland prevailed. ana In every direction
could be seen the national colors OF Germany. The
line was formed In three grand divisions, IN parallel
streets, while every available spot was filled with
people 1t Is estimated that upwards OF 10000
people were upon the streets In order to view the
procession as 1t passed. Such an exciting scene
certainly never before Witnessed In Paterson, ana
even the most sanguine would have secuted the
bare idea OF there being SUCH display. Even the
Germans themselves were asronished at the magni-
Jude OF their Efforts.
The procession, upwards Of two miles In length,
moved OF in the following order:-

AS the procession passed along they were wei;
L
win bouquets. The streets were dense with human
beings excepting the pathway IN the centre required
for the parade. II Is also noticeable that the ale
gorical representations were or the finest order,
everything being perfect N form, color and arrange
ment and all the details. leaving nothing whatever
for the imagination.
AS the line passed the Court House it was reviewed
by the Mayor and Aldermen and then proceeded d.
recrly to Crooks Souihslde Park, at Lake View,
where the ranks were broken and the people ga.
thered in the WOODS to rest and listen TO the singing
and to the speeches delivered by several individuals
from home ana abroad. Some idea OF the crowd in
the woods may be inferred from the fact that fifty
kegs OF lager were used up In half an hour after
irving upon the ground.
The line was formed again towards night re-
turned 10 the city and dsbanded, AMI thus ended
the public part OF the demonstration. Tie festivities
were Kept UP in more quiet manner good part Of
tine night. Nothing occurred to make 1t anything
but peace jubilee, all classes of the people seeming
To be interested III the display. There was but
little business done during the day. and the
entire population was in q state OF decentralization
over the event. demonstration oil such magnitude
was never before dreamed OF In Paterson, and those
WHO witnessed the occasion in New York affirm 1t
10 exceed the demonstration in that city, In pro-
portion to the size OF the place.
