L. Philadelphia the Day after the
Masons' Parade More Glimp~
ses Of the Centennial EXPOSE
ton.
On las, Friday, the day after the
parade of Knights Templars in Phila
delphia, the people of that city did not
seem dull and ianguid, as is often the
rule on the day following demoustra-
ticn of public character. The cere-
monies aud marching-from all ac-
counts-bad been done in such sn or
derIy manner, aud unpreceded or fol-
lowed by dissipat-O that the thou
sands of stranger participants, ami city
friends, felt little or none the worse of
Thursdays demonstration. Every
.hiug looked bright on Friday morning,
anywhere, sufficient number Of Sirs,
with fatigue caps on their heads, and
bad,.s on the lapels of their coats we're
abroad on the streets to sprinkle 1t
noticeably with the Masonic order, aud
impress one eith the fact that the fra
ternity had on the preceding day pa
rsded some 5000 men through the
priheip'e streets of the town They
we're out for business, pleasure and
siga. seeing.
There was ho throng. Ike on the day
of the opening of the Exposition, and
IN comparison 10 that day the crowd
was as gently flowing stream TO a
highly swollen, rushing torrent. TheEe
was goodiy supply OF flags, but evil
deutly the bunting is held IN reserve
tor the 4th of July, when the gr&ndest
Gag display ot the century will mani
TEST itself ia the Quaker city. 1t will
be equal to kite fying in China Oh q
pleasant breezy holiday in the fowery
kingdom.
We met James North, Esq, of Pa.
terson, on Third street, Gu the pave
ment, a quick, Discerning eye will never
miss his strong and handsome face IN a
current of humanity as one moves
IL lll a az go
city. From Third street we passed out
Market to Ninth street, and thence by
street car to Girard Avenue. The
Avenue is wide one. The buildings
along It's sides are not so uniform as in
many parts of the city, and the style
of architecture is more variable, from
old to new, aud one experiences as little
monotony IN passing through 1t as IN
apy street IN the city, unless, indeed, 1t
be through part Of Broad street. II sou
are fond of viewing picturesque hooks
and corners in the street of a city, walk
OF drive through Girard Avenue when
the weather is pleasant.
Ii was high noon when we reached
the Centennial grouncs, and as We
passed through the main entrance a
chime of bells rang the hour of twelve
O'Clock. The tine had not yet come
for detailing work, or note taking a
dashing tour of several hours through
a number of buildings that had not
been taken on opening day was the oh

by the Eest end of the Main Building,
with its myriads of beautiful wonders,
across TO the house properly called
"Putlic Comfort 1t is a place of
rest for the weary. If you are wo-
man. there is s'ladies' Parior'' to re-
ceive You, and a place TO arrange or
re-arrange the toilet, free. Iced
water to drink, free. If you desire
soda fountain drinks, walters will min
lister to your wants, but not for nothing !;
the fountain water must be paid for.
Do you wish something to eat, or coffee
TO drink servants will attend to your
beckon, but not for nothing and if you
get sick, you may be carried to the
hospital, located in another part of the
ground. If you are man, you can
buy the papers, take chair, rest and
read for nothing, drink iced water for
nothing, wash, having the use of towels
and soap for nothing have your face
shaved for money; take soda fountain
drinks, Ice cream, coffee, tea and almost
anything you wish 10 eat, for pay; and
If you get sick, be sent to the Centen-
NAL hospital. As to the treatment
there we can say nothine, not having
had the misfortune to get into that de-
partmert. The Public Csn.fort de-
psrtnlent has proven itself a refreshing z
place for rest, and is destined to be-
come popular before the season closes,
if the us1agement be kept up. In
deed IL IS popular now.
After q wash, plebian style, in bowl
in a row Of bowls, where thousands
have already washed, aud where tens of
thousands yet at home. will wash be-
tween this date and the ides of next
October, we strolled out of Public
Comfort, and southward, at brisk
walk to Agricultural Hall. The first
thing encountered inside the door was
a magnificent glass case full or liquors
from Ireland. One of the management
of the department had door of the
case open ana stood inside, with an un-
corked bottle 10 his one hand and glass
in the other, pouring out liquor to taste
for three or four gentlemaniY-looking
men that stood by. 1t was an unex-
pected introductory sight to the Agri-
cultural Building, and was sufficient to
direct our eyes and steps to the case,
without even glanciug In any other di-
Tertion. Our presence was recognized
by the gentleman inside the case BY a
nod of the head, which courtesy was
