NEaBuRa, N. Y, Oct. 18.-This is one of the
loveliest of lovely autumn days. The confidence
of the people in glorious sunshine on the 18th
of October has its vlndication. During the
preparations for this centennial celebration of
Washington disbanding and taking leave of his
victorious army. all questions about possible
rain were met with the answer that for the past
ten years the 18th of October has been clear and
bright, and that the benediction of sunshine
was expected. A great crowd of people arrived
by boats and trains last night, and thronged
down the town streets. Many persons could not
find lodgings, so crowded were the hotels and
dwellings of the city and towns round about.
TORCH LIGHT PROFESSIONS,
firemen's displays, fireworks, aud much enthu-
siasm were the preparations last night for today.
The bay was illuminated by electric lights
along the river from a large number of vessels,
including yachts, steamers and United States
war ships, riding at anchor, made picturesque
scene Brass bands and the fife and drum
seemed now to be still during the night. Mayor
Ward held reception in honor Of the distin-
guiahed guests at sunrise today. Five navy
vessels fired salutes, and were responded to
from the shore by cannon planted at the old
Washington headquarters and elsewhere on both
sides of tho river, and by the ringing of all
church bells. Immense throngs of people were
on the streets. One train on the West Shore
railroad arrived in

train with two engines had nineteen cars pack
ed With people and the platforms were also
crowded. The New York Central and local
roads are also pouring into town. Masses OF
people, farmers with their families are coming
in all sorts of vehicles, and farm hands are
trudeing along on foot. The town at Washing
ton headquarters was thronged long beforo the
hour for the beginning of the exercise. Two
hundred New York City policemen were aiding
the local force in preserving order. The city
never presented finer display. Flags are float

less than fifty thousand strangers are in town.

military and excursion parties. The seventh

arrived by

on the steamers Grand Republic and Columbia.
Owing to the late arrival of the state troops the
parade WAS not even forming at the time az
peinted for the march. Trains on the North
Hudson river road were delayed by the breaking
down of the engine of a way train with crowded
coaches. Although at IL there was no ap-
pearapoe of the parade, the scene around the re-
viewing stand was inspiring to spectators. The
crowd enthusiastically cheered the various or
ganizations marching to the rendezvous. The
grand stand and court house are decorated with
national flags, streamers and bunting. Resi-
dences Oh the opposite side of the street bear
the arms of Massachusetts, and Virginia.
