will be celebrated in Brooklyn to-day in the same
patriotic spirit which has marked 1t heretofore.
In the sleep Of Young America last night there
were visions Of skyrockets which shot forth
variety of colored lights when they had been sent
skyward; there were irecrackers, pin wheels,
roman candles, blue lights, pistols and nags, with
which the little hands were busy until the Ginning
Of the bells and sunriBe salutes brought all back
from dream land. Young America was ready for
action, and the smell OF powder even from fire.

siasm for the glorious day which he looks upon as
especially his own, and with which any interference
ON the part OF the guardians OF the peace should
not be tolerated for moment The latter,
however have their orders and they are TO
the effect that all the guardians shall be on
duty ready for any emergency and also
prevent the use OF firearms. 1t will be almost
impossible to prevent the use OF firearms.

House and other public buildings will be decorated
decorated with the new Tags recently purchased
at cost of between four hundred and i've hundred
dollars consisting OF the civic, State and national
banners, and at night will be illuminated with cal
cium lights and red fire. Mr.. Patrick Toumey, the
keeper, has been busy the past week in
making preparations ior a good display.
Prospect Park, on account OF its being 80 easily
reached, will be visited by thousands OF citizens
to-day. There will be no fireworks allowed there,
the nervous old ladies and gentlemen will not
have to go far TO escape the din. There will be full
supplies OF fresh milk and cream and some good
music by the Twenty-thfrd regiment band, under
the leadership OF Professor Conterno. There will
be public displays OF fireworks in the evening on
