tarned into Broadway; thence down
Broadway tn the open space behind the
Postofiee called Afail street, into

made in order 10 pay compliment to the
enterprise of the World IN raising the sum
necessary to build the pedestal for Bar
tholdi's great work From Park Row the
route was again down Broadway to Court
landt street and Maiden Lane, where most
of the military, turning to the right or
left, made their way to the river. The
head of the procession reached the City
Hall at noon. At the same time, when
ever the music Of the bands ceased, the
chimes Of Trinity Church could be heard
playing the National airs Of France and
America.

to the tide. The column continued on
until the large vessels in the outer arrived

vessel.
Three batteries took part in the
SALUTE OF 100 GUNS

their whistles and the men-oi-war returned
the salute from their guns. At 4 o'clock
