 magnificent for Labor Day. At an early hour the streets presented holiday appear ance and most of the shops were closed. The exchange, custom house and city hall were also closed.

 that fully 5000 persons were in line. The organizations were tardy in reporting, and it
 was afternoon before the left of the line of 5000 men was in motion. The rendezvous
 was on both sides of Second avenue, below
 Fourteenth street and, and the route lay
 through Astor Place, Broadway, Union
 Square and Fifth avenue to Thirty-fourth
 street. Many trades were represented by
 workingmen plying their trade on floats
 drawn by horses. The American flag and trade banners were the only sLendaros to pe
 seen, the committee having forbidden all ap-
 breaches to political or goreign sentiment in
 this respect. The celebration of the day ended with series of outdoor games at
 Phoenix Park at 14Sth street and 3rd avenue, under the auspices of the Central labor union. IN OTHER CITIES.
