While larger throng collected the street outside.
The front OF the building was brilliantly Illuminated
and rockets and sautes were discharged In honor OF
the occasion. The outside crowd was extremely de-.
monsratlve, and gave vent to continued cheers long
rived. Stretched across Third ' avenue n" was a.
Bradley, and across Eighteenth street another
