The Triumphs of Germany Celebrated in
the United StRtes-ImpOsing Displays.
NEW YORK, April 10.
A brighter or more suspicious day could
scarcely be desired by the most enthusiastic
for the celebration of the peace festival.
The Bowery and all the eastern side of the
city was decked in holiday attire, and so
covered by bunting, flags of the Faderland,
emblematic and novel designs, that they
were no longer recognizable. From the
windows of the tall tenement houses in the
Tenth, Eleventh. Thirteenth and Seven
teenth wards, where thousands of German
families are packed together, small flags
futtered everywhere, and the thOrOughfares
we're all densely ere 4ded. Early this morn
ing the TurnYereln marched to Central
Park and adorned the busts of Schiller
and Humboldt with flowers and wreaths of
cedar. They then marched to the corner of
Thirteenth street and joined the procession
at eleven o'clock. Guns doomed forth the
signal, and shortly afteEwaEd the cavalry,
90 the head of the procession, began to
move. In the meantime the Brooklyn Ger
mans formed in procession and passed
through the principal streets. They were
reviewed by the city authorities, and
marched up and took place in the line in
the city. The procession reached the City
Hall at l p. NJ, where the Governor and
Mayor reviewed them. The Third Cavalry
appeared for the first time in the uniform
of Prince Frederick Charles service. They
were well mounted, and presented fine APP
pearance.
The German butchers, numbering two
thousand, extended along Third avenue
from Fourteenth street and above. They
were splendidly mounted, and were dressed
in their conventional long white aprons,
and wore rosettes on the badges Of their
several associations.
The brewers and lager beer men formed
perfect army, riding in wagons, with
jolly King Gambrinus leading the van.
The Car of State was very fine cOncep-
ton. A rich throne was mounted on a
high dais, in which sat King Gambrinus-
fat, rosy and jolly. In front of him were
four young girls, dressed as courters.
Gilded goblets and lager beer kegs studded
the margin.
Next came long line of wagons, carrying
the several departments Of a brewery estab-
hshment, all complete. Some were filed
up with bags of malt and bales of hops.
Then came the brewing vats mash tubs,
and men at work as if their bread, butter
and lager depended on their persistent
labor.
After this came the coopers, putting to-
gether huge lager beer casks and small kegs.
Then two wagons filed with little girls,
sitting under arches of eyergreens. Then a
long line of wagons, each occupied by brew
ers from establishments in the Ninth Ward.
These formed a prominent feature of the
procession. Another department contained
wagons carrying representatives of several
prominent German industries. There was
% huge bakery on wheels, turning out the
staff of life, and match factory wagon from
the Central Park Factory carried the opera
tives of that establishment, and great bun
dies of their luciers. A wagon with earthen
pipes and the men who make them; then a
number of others carrying respectively rep
resentatives of the several trades.
Over fifty bands Of music were in the pro
cession.
The Royal Satsuma Japanese troupe rode
in two carriages. They were dressed in
brellas of their own land. These two car
riages were awarded the post of honor in
the procession, leading the extreme right.
The procession was over three hours il
| passing in review, exclusive of stoppages
| Fully $4,000 men were in line. The pro
ceedings in Tompkins Square did not com
mence until A z. NJ.
The streets on the east side of the tOwI
were crowded by thousands of people to
night to witness the illumination in Gather
inc street and the Bowery. Chinese lanterns
were suspended across the road. Most o
the houses were illuminated with wax can
| dies, and some with calcium lights. POr
traits of King William and Moltke were il
abundance and transparencies abound.
The beer saloons are crowded to suffOca
| ton with women and children, consumin!
lager. All the places of amusement arr
densely crowded tonight. The Liederkran
Society gave banquet tonight. The cos
| Of the procession to-day is estimated a
| $750,000.
