AT BELLEVUE HOSPITAL

Preparations were made 30 that the patients and
all connected with the establishment could par
ticpate in celebrating the great national holiday.
The green lawn was dotted with cool.looking white
tents, which Afforded shelter during the day from
the scorchinQ rays of the sun to such as were able
to leave their cots and walk out.
PATRIOTIC MUSIC.
A band OF music was stationed on one q
the balconies. The thunder shower, which SO
suddenly appeared, while 1t served with its loud,
rolling reverberations Of sound as natures part
in the celebration, dampened somewhat the
enthusiasm and unal Dyed good spirit OF the oc-
casion, but when the rain did not pour the fun
went on wit all the greater zest All the patriotic
airs that have ever attained any heart-thrng sig
ni1cance through our national history were dis-
coursed and were responded to by cheers from the
assembled c0nc0urse on the green. The persons
who were too i'll to venture further had seats on
the verandahs where they laughed and cnatteu
and waved their handkerchiefs with voices weaker
than the good will OF their hearts. Vocuerous Jus
pecially when the Naming rockets piougned
their seething way into the dark SKY tncre
were loud and Joyous shouts. Tne mOnotony
OF the hospital life the worst OF all ennuty was
broken and the fact awakened feelings which found
their vent in such demonstrations as are never
iected and produced quite brilliant effect despite
the rain which had dampened them nttle
DANCING AND SINGING.
There was then dancing and singing on the green,
and the faces OF the people which had been worn BY
sickness and confinement became bright with de-
li0htrul smiles. Warden Brennan, with his big,
manly form and honest face. was everywhere smons

CommemOrating the anniversary o! our nati0np

OF those who patriotlcally sacrificed their lives In
their countrys defence. 1t Is pleasant to know
that the inmates Of the Union Homo and School for

the general observances of yesterdays great ma

managers Of the institution and others Interested
in its welfare were there yesterday, and through
their own and the contributions OF others gave the
children pleasant entertainment. AS reciprocal OF
this the children delighted their visitors with

sisting mainly OF songs and recitations. Tho

BOULEVARD CLUB CELEBRATION.
Fireworks, Fires, Accidents and Minor Incl
dents Of the Eventful Day.

Manifestations or patriotism prevailed through
out the nation yesterday. "The day we celebrate"
was made the most Of not only as national holi-
day, but also as the "red letter day. Of the year,
and oil the familiar modes by which Joy and glad
Dess make themselve sapparent were obtruded be-
tore all observers. The heated term that continued
TO make itself felt until a welcome cooling breeze
came along in the afternoon, subdued
the pleasure-seekers OF this city and had
the effect OF keeping thousands within their
homes. The comparative GOODNESS Of the after
noon beguiled many into the streets, the parks
or to the ferries. and to outdoor gatherings
generally sudden thunder storm between
four and five O'Clock had disastrous eject upon
these pedestrians and forced them to obtain in the
shortest possible time, temporary shelter. These,
however, were hut the minor incidents OF the day,
and were but as rpples upon the broad stream OF
toyfulncss that made itself heard and felt on
every hand. The heart Of the people was In
unison with the spirit OF liberty and the
sentiments Of patriotism that declared itself either

turmoil of faction fight and therefore the poll.
tcians Of either Presidential party laid aside their
combativcness and wore the olive branch of peace.
For nearly o century mas this country maintained
Its independence, and each anniversary day has
strengthened and ennobled the principles on which
that independence was founded. Every intelligent
American is constrained to admit, with Emerson
he looks over the arena of the strife OF politics.

Foolish hands may mix and mar
Wise and sure the issues
At the meeting Of the Tammany Society this
thought was eloquently expounded by the Hon.
James Brooks, and the principle of the selfgovern
ment so strikingly manifest in the conduct of the
national affairs OF the American people was, with
Rll its apparently temporary evils the admiration
Of the civilized world. At the Boulevard
Club Mr. Perkins aroused the patriot

STEAMBOAT EXCURSIONS.

notable feature Of the days pastlmes and en-
joyments were steamboat excursions. These were
of great variety and the main dificulty was to
select from the number the one promising most
pleasure. Excursions were in every direction; up
the North River, up the East River and Sound,
down the harbor and outside Sandy Hook to various
points on the coast. Most were supplied with
bands Of music and oil had refresh
ments and on many were opportunities
for dancing-the last, however, feature Of ENJOY
ment that could be cultivated only to limited ex-
tent, owing to the immense crowds. Here Is the
difhcuty attending these excursions. The greed OF
steamboat men is very apt to Danish prudence, and
in the employment of old boats, with WORKOUT
boilers, and filing them to their utmost capacity,
human life is risked to fearful extent. But some
how these things are not thought Of Anxiety to
get away from the noisy city on the
Fourth Of July and breathe the invigorating salt
sea air, SO strikingly in contrast to the
noisome air OF the city, induced people to go on
those excursions regardless OF every Other conslu-
