New YORK, June 19th-The programme
| of exercises, sent yesterday in these dis
patches, for the formal reception of Bar
| tholdi's great statue of Liberty, was faith
! fully carried out to-day, amid immense en-

SECOND DIsPATCHl
| New YORK, June 19th.-The feature of
| the exercises in honor of the Bartholdi
statue was the immense crowd which filed
| Broadway all the morning and iammed the
| streets and lined the. sidewalks. On no
public holiday heretofore has so much en-
| thusiasm been manifested In lower Broad
way the windows of every house were oc-
cupied by parties of ladies and gentlemen.
The police had difficult task to keep the
passage ways clear and the procession,
which started from the Battery, was very
much delayed. 1t was an hour and half
| behind hand. This seemed to have no per-
ceptible effect on the hourly increasing
| throng of citizens, who waited patiently in
| the boiling sun to welcome the foreigners.
! The parade in itself was not imposing.
| Small detachments from the Sixty-ninth,
! Seventy-frst and Twelfth Regiments COM
posed the military escort not single crack
| city regiment taking part. The French
| guests received an ovation on the line of
march, cheers and hand-clapping sounding
on every hand from the beginning to the
end of the parade. Admiral Lacombe and
staff, ofthe French flag ship LAHORE, came
| in for the lions share Of welcome, and as
| they drove up Broadway were kept busy
| bowling in response to greetings.
No GERMAN FLAGs-ALMosT A RIOT.
| New YORK, June 20th-A Mt was
very noticeable yesterday that the German
establishments, steamship offices, Con-
suiate, etc, displayed no flags during the
parade. Only American and French colors
were visible anywhere. Many pickpockets
| were arrested.
At the Produce Exchange some members
pelted the Sixty-ninth (Irishl Regiment
with dough and other article. Major
Duffy galloped soyer to the police
Sergeant in command and complained
and said trouble might follow if the
| assaults were not stopped at once.
Then Duffy rode off to attend to some
thing else, and the peIting began again, all
stones by this time 50 Duffy says. He
! returned and told the Sergeant if this bus
iness was not stopped at once he would
send up couple of files of men into the
Exchange and stop it himself. The crowd
| in the street got excited and partisans of the
Sixty-nine and others, who had witnessed
| the behavior of the produce merchants,
began fusillading the occupants of the bal
cony with eggs, which they got from neigh
boring groceries, and heavier missiles
which they picked up in the streets. One
broker, it is said, was struck with q stone
and hurt. Duffy then called upon Eldridge
Chairman Of the Floor Committee, and
| forcibly called his attention to
the indiGnities heaped upon his
| men. Il want il stopped" shouted the
MAJOR, ''or I will not be responsible
for my men" The Major was cheered
| when he returned to the street. A riot
seemed imminent, but it was stayed by the
! appearance of the police. 4 score OF Off
| GERS from the First Precinct moved into the
Exchange with clubs down. and made a
charge on the offending brokers. An Off
Ger Of the Exchange, said to be the Pres-
dent, asked that the balcony be cleared of
every one, and the police proceeded to clear
| il in short order
