the procession was eleven miles long.
Monday there was grand naval
display: Tuesday military parade,
religious exercises, banquet and
speeches.-Wednesday an industrial
parade of $4,000 men, with displays
representing American greatness in
education, the arts, sciences, trade,
manufacture and historical achieve

and the great city was one mass of
decorations. The Thanksgiving ser.
vices were held in st. Paul's Church,

had occupied April 80, 1889. Bishop
Potter conducted the services. The
literary exercises took place at the
Sub Treasury Building, which occu-
pies the site of old Federal Hall, in
which Washington took the oath of
Office. John G. Whittier read the
poem, and Chauncey M. Depew de.
livered the grafton. The distinguish.
ed assemblage then repaired to Mad.

stand had been erected. The ban
quet was given at night at the Met

were grand. The Presidents table
was near the centre and surrounded
by twenty-seven other tables. 25,-
900 roses were used in the decora-

perhaps, in the world, in point of
