The long-looked-for day. the day of opening
| the big Festival OF the North American Senger
| bund, has arrived
| Yesterday evening, when that tremendous Tair
came down, the prospects for fine day to-day
were gloomy The decorations that had alresd,
been put up all over the city were, of course

the sky cleared up again, however, there wa.
every indication that no more rain would fall
and that the Inauguration day of the Festival
would be bright one with plenty OF sunshine
and this morning these indications were re-
allied
The day is one Of the finest that we have had fol
some time, and the citizens took advantage OF il
by putting out IN unusual amount of bunting,
flags and evergreen. Almost every house in the
city has out something 10 show that to-day is big
day for Cincinnati.
