ten o'clock the troops arrived at the
grounds by the different gates, their
changing bands responded to each 9TH
er as they marched through the park,
and the large hollow edifice re-echoed
the sound of their drums. The pro-
gramme for the opening exhibition
was generally commended for its SIM
| plicity and 1t was rapidly and closely
followed up. The central feature was
| of course President Grant. His re-
marks were almost inaudible and Gen.
| Hawiey was little better heard. The
scene was brilliant when the foreign
commissioners were in their places,
amid fall of gold lace, ,chapeaux and
medals of knighthood. The military
officer of the United States and Navy,
with the Spanish cadets standing
near them, while in the distance were
seen drawn up in the hollow square,
the militia of New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, New Hamsphire and
Massachusetts, and the seamen wear
ing white tufbans and Carrying cut
lasses. At twelve o'clock when the
President accepted the bunting, the
flag was dropped at the place of the
ceremony and instantly tie large col
ors were hoisted on gables and towers
of the whole series of edifices, every
section having its symbol. Brazil,
France, Portugal and Germany were
Spain and Austria in another. At
the conclusion of his speech the PreSi-
dent gave his arm to the Empress Of
Brazil and leaned upon the arm of
Director Gen. GoshOrn. These three
led the way and were followed by the
Emperor of Brazil and Mrs. Grant and
then by Fred Grant and Mrs. Fish.
They walked into the main building
by the middle door and then proceed
ed down the centre aisle, passing on
their way the commissioners of the
different nations in civil DRESS who
stood uncovered bowling and were sa-
luted by the President. The militia
were waiting at the exit door with
music and drums and they cleared
the way through the opposite door of
the machinery hall. AS they reached
the middle of the building the great
engine was started and the whole ma
chinery began to move and the bells
in the towers struck up. The Presi-
DENTS reception in the Judges pavil-
ion was very fine. 1t proved to be the
most enjoyable feature of the day. At
the reception the crowd dispersed to
view the contents of the several
buildings. 1t is said there was about
$4,000 persons on the grounds.
