THE CENTENNIAL.

PHILADELPHIA, May IL. ~ Yesterday
was more generally observed as holi-
day than any day heretofore known in
the history Of Philadelphia. Very few
stores were open during the morning,
and in the afternoon the main streets
were almost impossible.
The Emperor Of Brazil visited the
Women's Pavilion and inspected the
women's work.
The restaurants of the grounds were
crowded all day. The buildings were il
Illuminated.
AS the procession passed the British
section President Grant was presented
with a superb illustrated catalogue of
British exhibits.
The Russian and Austrian exhibits
have not yet arrived. /. All space in Ma
chinery Hall building is occupied. There
are eight thousand machines IMPOSITION,
seyenty-ive per cent. being American,
and the next lagrest Being from Great
Britain.
The Empress of Brazil set the machin-
cry in motion in the Women's Pavilion,
in the presence OF large crowd. She
pulled a gold cord and tassel and the en-
gine started.
The American pictures In the Memo
rial Hall make fine display. No less
than seven walls, each one hundred feet
long, are hung with American pictures.
The British Art Exhibit, however,
carries off the palm, and will probably
head the list when the final award comes
to be made. The collection Is large,
comprising three or four hundred pic.
lures, and the waier-colors are scarcely
inferior to the oils.

what They Say of the Great Open-
Ing.
The newspapers generally consider
the opening OF the Centennial Exhibit
ton decided success. The Herald
thinks the Presidents address was we'll
conceived but badly executed. His tone
and spirit is excellent. He speaks of
what the Nation has done with modesty
and discrimination, and nationally and
appropriately accounts for such defects
as may be discovered in our culture.
The Times considered the musical part
OF the programme as very happy and ap-
propriate. The speeches were all marked
by dignity and modest reserve, and con-
graduates the Centennial Commission
ers OIL the successful issue to their long
and arduous labors.
The Tribune congratulates the Nation
upon the assured success of the Exhibl-
tiOn. The national reputation was
largely staked upon the venture. Every
thing went off satisfactory and punc-
tually. The speeches were all in good
taste, pertinent and modest. I.
