 ALBANY, July 22.-The climax of Albany bi-centenary was capped to-day, the anniver sary of it's incorporation. At midnight tn bells began to ring and it seems as if the. had been ringing, pretty much ever since The special containing the President witl Secretaries Bayard and Whitney and Colone Lamont reached here at 6 a. m. There wer' about seven hundred people on hand tt watch Mayor Thacher and the Burgesses off cially receive the distinguished party, whicl was immediately driven to the residence o Governor Hill, the Presidents host. Wher the Governor and his guests had bre akfasteC President Cleveland, accompanied by Colone Lamont, went to Secretary Manning's resi- dence to call upon him. MT. Cleveland anc Mr. Manning remained in conversation fol an hour and then the former returned to the Governors mansion. At 10:30 o'clock, es corted by Mayor Thacher and members oi the anniversary reception committee, the President, Secretaries Bayard and Whitney and Colonel Lamont left the executive man sion, and entering carriages waiting for them were driven down to State street to take their places in the procession. A few min, utes later Governor Hill, escorted by mem bers of the reception committee, was also driven down to take the place in the line reserved for him. At Il o'clock the order of march was given.
 The first division was under command ot General Robert s. Oliver. Troy, Yonkers, Newburg, Vernon, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Catskill, Hudson, Whitehill and Schenectady were represented by detachments of troops in this division. The First regiment of Phil adelphia also marched in this division. Ma jor General George s. Treadwell commanded the second division. It comprised a number of G. A. R. posts from various cities of the State, the First regiment and Tibbett's Vete- ran association of Troy. The third division was commanded by Captain Thomas w. Cantwell. In it were the Rose Guards of Philadelphia, the Albany Jackson corps, St. Joseph's cadets, the Keck Zouaves of Johnstown, M. J.

It composed the Albany Burgess corps and their veterans, Mayor Thacher and other city officials, the bi-centenniaI committee, members of the legislature and other invited guests The procession was the finest in every respect ever seen in Albany. President Cleveland rode in the fourth division in an open car riage with Secretary Whitney. Immediately after the procession the President, Governor Hill Secretaries Whitney and Bayard and other distinguished guests went to the large rink on Lark street, which was already densely packed by an audience who had the musical and literary exercises scheduled on the programme.
 The exercises at the rink did not begin until 2:15 o'clock. The overture from Will liam Tell by the orchestra was followed by prayer by Bishop Doane. Governor Hill then delivered the oration of the day. Mayor Thacher then attempted to an- nounce the next thing on the programme, but his voice was drowned by cries of "Cleveland" "Clevelandl'' The President arose, bowed and sat down again in his chair in the center of the platform beside Governor Hill. This did not suit the audi ence and the calls were renewed with added vigor Finally the President arose and ad- vancing to the front of the platform said:
 
 an invited guest to family reunion. I de- sire to be modest and not mingle too freely in the celebrations which belong more properly to you. do not wish to sound single note of discord, but have heard so much of the Dutch and of this being Dutch town, so much talk of the olden time and of the customs, that when I remember dwelt two years among you wonder whether I am in the right place or not. At the risk of creating discordance I will say that in my time Dutch was not the language of the town. The people spoke English and to me words in English of kindness that I will never forget am glad, however, that you have got your charter When lived here it was I think under charter, but according to my re- membrance it was charter passed by the legislature of the State in the first year l spent here and approved by me. l must not detain you longer, but I cannot re- frain from expressing to you my appreciation of the kindness with which you have received ms and from repeating the homely and old fashsoned wish-May the citizens of Albany and their descendants see many happy returns of the day"
 President Cleveland spoke in clear, ring ing tones and his remarks were received with applause. When he sat down the audience called upon Secretary Bayard for speech and he said:
 "Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of Albany T thank you most profoundly for your kindness in thus recognizing my presence among you. I came here as the friend and companion of one whom it is my honor and pleasure to assist in the administration ot our public affairs. It is my further pleasure to take part in the celebrotion of honor able American traditions that SC frequently take place in all parts of oul country and rejoice to see them so worthi- ly celebrated. I have something in my tra ditional ancestry of the blood of the Dutch and thank you for the opportunity of saying so"
 Secretary Whitney was next called for and gracefully yielding to the demands he stepped forward and said:
 q will occupy but moment of your time in taking the opportunity of expressing to you that common sentiment of every one in spired by such beautiful day, by such { gathering and by the exercises at which you are present. It is an additional pleasure fol me to say that will bear away grateful re collections of the reception"
 At the conclusion of the exercises Presl dent Cleveland, Secretaries Whitney anG Bayard and ex- Mayor Banks entered the car riage awaiting and drove to Secretary Mar ning's residence where they remained al hour.
