Afternoon.
The general excitement that prevailed in the
neighborhood Of the City Hall during tue afternoon
was III marked contrast with the demcanor OF the
people in the upper part of town. The different INES
OF street cars kept DIP running regularly until about

blocked. AS the cars moved up town and approach

rioters On the Eighth avenue almosa every store
was closed from Fourteenth street up. on all the
avenues-Sixth, seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth

ness that denoted he was carrying something which
lie esteemed as very precious.
The same thing exactly was going on at the east
side OF the town. Parties OF men arrived from al
parts by the different ferries and wended their way
quietly up town. In the nelghbornood OF the Gen.
tra Park al the termination OF every avenue, num-
bers of men eagerly discussed the subject of the
procession. Down from The regions beyond the
PARK men came pouring in There was no noise, no
talk, not word seemed to be spoken, but they
marched aiopg With determination that ha0
evidently prepared Itself TO meet any emergency.
From the PARK down on All the avenues OF the east

almost all the SHIPS were closed.
