NEW YORK, August S.-An night long carpen-
tiers with saw and hammer were busy in Broad
way, and when this morning the sun climbed
up out of the sea- and shed its brilliant light
upon the dark corners and alleys OF the city, it
erected reviewing stands, from which the great
procession could be seen at prices ranging all
the way from 81 to $40 head. The deco

Fronts of many great warehouse were dis

there the night before. But perhaps the busiest
men III the Cit: last night Were those connected
with the street cleaning department. Every
loot OF Broadway. from the Battery to Central
PARK, had t. be thoroughly swept and cleaned.
Inc hund,ciS o. horses and thousands of men
who did this work acted with such promptness
ana efficiency that the great thorou.hfarc

siXty-dve days in the year, and the empty space
nllcd with chairs for the accommodation Of
the friends OF the several firms. Nearly every
empty stand along the route had been gobbled
up by the spccuators. Some of them were
bered seats, to be had ut the small sum of So
each. The specializing fever even got hold of
the newsboys, several of whom stuck notices in

When at length the hands of the great clock
of Trinity church approached the hour of noon,
Broadway presented animated spectacle.
As far as the eye could reach the sidewalks were
Nrnnged with people. Every train aud every
steamer poured its load into the great artery OF
travel. Bronze faces from the country, white
faces from city counting rooms and offices, and
dirty faces from the tenement districts were in
the crowd. Rich and poor, rogue and rascal,
dl.nitaries and nonent1ties, jostled each other
on the curbstones and sidewalks. Everybody
seemed to be gOOd-natured, and took the jOst-
ling and jamming as Il matter OF course. The
police tried TO keep the people off from the
street, but 1t was hard work. There were more
who wanted to pass along the walks than there
was width OF passage to contain.
