OUR NEW YORK LETTER.


FROM OUR REG ULAR CORRESPONDENTS.
New YORK, DEC 3. 1888
Thanksgiving Day was quietly observed, and
the theatres were cowded both in the afternoon
and evening. Thanks to the large hearted lib
crafty of the public and private institutions of
the city the poor were amply provided for, one
day AT least. What IA vast amount of good
could be done by "A systematic distribution Of
the crumbs that daily fall from the rich men S
tables in this second London !
! The most noteworthy incident of the day
was the destruction 10y fire of the Windsor
Theater in the Bowrry. which broke out after
the audience had dispersed Thanks to the
efficiency Of the fire department no lives were
/ lost

a damper upon the proceedings consequent up
on the centennial celebration of Evacuation

remarkably successful. The influx of strang-
erS during the week is estimated at one hum
dred thousand. Provisions were supplied TO
4 ten thousand military men, and the citizens
donations towards their entertainment approx
mated towards $1,000. The speeches were
far ahead OF the usual style of spread eagle
orat"ry, the gem being the magnificent Grafton

Editor OF Harper's Htekiy, Mt the unveiIing Of
