The Specializing Fever
wen got hold Of newsooys, several of whom
tuck notices in their chairs to the effect |
hat seats from which to view the parade |
,ould be procured. When at length the |
hands of the great clock of Trinity church |
the hour Of 3, Broadway pre-
Iented an immense spectacle. As |
ar as the eyes could reach the |
sidewalks were thronged with people. Every
rain and every steamer poured Its load into |
he great artery Of travel. Brown faces
rom the country, white faces from the city
counting rooms and Offices, and dirty faces
rom the tenant districts were in the crowd;
-ich and poor, rogue and rascal, dignitaries
md nonenities jostled each other on the
cubstores and sidewalks. Everybody
seemed to be good nstured and took the
ostling and jammiDgs as matter Of course.
