Beautiful City. --

Chicsgo, Ill, Sept. 81 Correspondence
| Chicago, as q metropolis, has Tor years
past proven herself q grand success. Her
business capacity is une9ualed by any city
in the United States, ana it is doubtful if
any city in the world can make a better
showing. This is due entirely 10 the enter
prise of her citizens who seem to have bat
one aim in view, and that to make their
city grow and prosper. Not only is it
great business center, but il is fast becom-
| ing famed rs a summer resort, and the
various magnificent hotels have the past
summer undergone a thorough overhaul
ing, have been enlarged and their beauty
greatly enhanced. 1t Is not strange, either,
that people flock to Chicago during the
heated term, for the delightful breeze from
the lake is q most welcome chsnge. from
the dry and sul'ry weather of most cities.
Besides this the grandeur of the view of
lake Michigan from what is known a. the
lake front is something that once seen will
never be forgotten. Your CORES
pondent, in company with three
other gentlemen, cot long. since
had the pleasure of making the trip to the
government pier, or bssknster, on ore Of
the numerous pleasure steamers which line
the shore, and while there was permitted 10
gaze upon the lake while storm was rag
ing. Ever and anon huge roller would
dash against the outside OF the pier and
| the spray come flying all around rs, while
inside the pier the surface of the wafer was
as calm and smooth as piece OF glass, and :
to look upon the innumerabIe throng seat
ed upon the bulwsrks engaged in the
pleasant psstime of fishing for perch, with
which the lake abounds, one would hardly
realize that tbs opposite side WAS so fraught :
with danger. And then. a. trip to tho
parks, and such parks. A description OF ,
them from q pen would be simply impossi-,
Bile, and they must be seen TO be appreciate
ed. An untold amount of money has been
expended in b aut;fYing these popular
places of resort, and to the credit Of Ch;ca- ?
90 can il be said that NO city can equal her
IN this line. Lovely drives and walks have
been built, evergreen trees planted. and
duriug the summer months the p easure
seekers olfactories are greeted on all
sides by the perfume of the rarest and
sweetest flowers, his ears by the songs
of birds from every CLINE, and as he walks
along he instinctively stops TO wonder
whether it is dream, or whether by mis-
take he has wandered into some fairy land.
Each park contains large lake. and those
who d, sire can provide themselves with
boats and enjoy the pleasing sensations OF
q trip upon the wafer, resting when weary
beneath rustic bridge, or driving the boat
beneath the branches of some friendly tree,
which grow along he waters edge. But
enough, the thestres, the museums, the
skating Kinks. the board oftrade, and the
stately buildings, the architecture OF which
has never been equslled by any place, atf

THE TRADES ASSEMBLY, PARADE -
on last Mo.day was one of the gfandest
and most impressive sfsirs ever Witnessed
In Chicago. It is estimated that there
we're between seven and ten thG US nd men

city was there represented. The various
unions were cut In all their glory and the.
trades assembly proper press nted the union,
making The best display with an elegant
banner. The Typographical union and
Brickmssons' turned out the most
men, but the general I'M
prr ssion seemed to be, that
The biscksmiths would capture the Lrizs
on account of their military bearing.
There were tracks representing the various
branch OF trade and the typographical
union had one on which was printed q pa
per called the Labor Holiday, the type be- 5
ing set on the wagon and The paper printed
on a Washington hsnd press thereon.
AT err the parade a grind picnic was in.
dulged in ut Ogdens grove, and the merry
making was continued far into the night,
a general good feeling prevailing through
out. The Socialist parade 90 Sunday
was q fizzle az far. as the turnout wss con.
cerned, al d the picnic in the afternoon was
8 disgrace on account of the drunken men
and numerous disturbances.

escorted hither and thither by the gallant
besux, and the peais of CHEEKY laughter
which 1T all times pervaded the entire
house, reminded one of olden days when
dashing cavslries and their charming ladies'
met to spend an evening in merry making.

set before the hungry guess, and the man
ner in which it was psrtaken of left not the
slightest doubt but what the assembly ap-
preciated the efforts of the young ladies.
Dancing was, for the main, the order OF the
evening, and not until the gray strssks on
the eastern horizon warned the jewellers of
the approaching of another day did they
take their leave, each and every one wish
ing the tso, in whose honor the evenings
entertainment had been given, long life and
much happiness, to which the BAzooIrE
