Partial Celebration Of the
Anniversary Yesterday.
ON THE BAY AND RIVERS.
Immense Aeeemblage Of Wis
itors to Central Park.
THE DAY IN BROOKLYN.
Arrangements and Programme
for To-Day's Proceedings.

AS usual, when the Fourth falls on Sunday,
there was great deal of noise and turmoil in the
streets owing, TO the sale OF fireworks
and the consumption thereof by thoughtless peo-
pie. The fact that to-day was the legal holiday
did not seem TO satisfy these celebrants OF
the nations birthday, and they accordingly
continued to greatly annoy their more quiet
neighbors. All day long the reports OF pistols and
other firearms, or the explosion OF large nre-
crackers, made the Sabbath anything but quiet
one Last night the noise became still more bur-
densome, while the sky was illumined by the rise
OF rockets or the dying meteors from Roman can
dies. The customary accidents also occurred in
ratio to the amount OF fireworks used.
