GERMANS IN LINE.

The Founding of the First German
Colony ImpOsingly Celebrated.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The celebration
of the bicentennial of the founding of the
Iirst German colony in this country, at
Philadelphia, has been universal to-day
throughout the United States. At Phila-
delphia, the display was particularly fine
Over 10000 men were in line, with vehicles
of every description, many Of the larger
floats bearing devices emblematical of
every industry carried on in the city, and
large numbers Of them bore wOrkmen en-
gagged at the trades they represented. The
streets along the line of the procession
were literally jammed, and window seats
were at a premium. SO great was the
crowd along Chestnut street, that the pO-
lice were compelled to rope off the side
walk, an act that has never been neces-
sary before.
At Pittsburg the procession was Is
miles long, with $4,000 persons and 1000
vehicles in line, and was undescribably
picturesque. All the trades were repre-
sented, including butchers, bakers, tan
ners, glassmakers, on and steel workers
and carpenters, while every nation in the
world had representatives in costume.
The whole formed a grand moving show
which kept 100000 spectators in good
humOr for four hours. These descrip-
tiOns apply equally well to other cities,
where there IS considerable percentage
OF German populatiOn-the differences
being only of degree between larger or
smaller communities. To name the cities
where celebrations were held would be
only naming all the principal cities in the
country
