New YORK, Nav 30.-The observance O
Decoration Day, was perhaps more elabor-
ate than any Of the celebrations in recent
years. The great feature of the day was
the parade oil the First Division of the Ma
tional Guards, but the exercises IN the diff
ferent cemeteries and ceremonies attending
the decoration OF different statues and Mon
uments was also extremely interesting. In
the lower part Of the city, almost 4 perfect
holiday was kept. Thediiierent Exchanges
and Courts, and, in fact, almost all places
OF public or private business closed and the
streets wore deserted aspect, although the
scene was somewhat enlivened by the lib
eral display of bunting on government and
on larger private buildings The decora-
tions of Washington monument in Union
Square were of the most profuse and elab-
crate description. and including palm trees
from Florida The statue Of Lincoln and
Lafayette in the same square, were made
hardly less attractive with fragrant flowers
and evergreens. The Montgomery monu-
ment at ST. Paurs church and the tomb of
the historic Lawrence in Trinity Church
yard, were tas;efully adorned. \ detach-
ment Of marines and seaman from the navy
yard visited the grave Of Admiral Farragut
early in the morning and marked it with a
profusion OF flowers.
The procession marched down Fifth Av-
enue, past the Worth monument, where il
was reviewed by the Governor. accompan-
led by his staff, the Mayor and Common
Council. The column then marched down
Fifth Avenue TO Fourteenth street, to Broad
way and to Warren streets, where ii passed
in review before Gen. Sherman, who was
accompanied by Gen. Hancock and Adj
miral Trenchard. The parade was then
dismissed and part OF the grand army then
proceeded to the various cemeteries 10 dec
crate the graves OF their dead comrades
Generals Sherman and Hancock were fire.
quently cheered upon the route.
Dispatches from neighboring cities and
from the South and East show that the
memorial day has had avery general obSer-
vance.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May 30.-There was
very little business transacted to-day. The
Chamber Of Commerce and banks closed at
noon. The c. \. K. organization, and the
kasciusko and Sheridan guards paraded
the streets in the morning, after which
they proceeded 10 the several ceme-
taries. and, after decorating the graves,
marched 10 the Soldiers Home. where ex-
,ensive preparations had been made for the
occasion. At this place large number Of
people assembled in the evening and list.
