Eloquence at the Banquet.
New YORK, April 30.-The town woke
UP more sleepily this morning than it did
yesterday, and with good reason. There
was no real necessity for it to get up so
early, and besides its inhabitants, perma-
nent as we'll as temporary, were tired, the
latter even more so than the former, still the
earliest streaks of dawn found many people
in the streets, and these indeed were fortu-
nate, for in all the range of meteorological
chance, a more perfect morning could scarce
have been found. It was too cold, perhaps,
for those who shiver in a light wind, but it
was morning to delight the heart Of the
soldier who had long tramp before him.
The airwas exhiliarating in the extreme, and
the wind was sharp enough to soon put
tinge of bloom on the cheeks of those who
faced it.
Dhlf 1lNG TOWARD THE BATTERY
Many not already there in these early
hours wendell their way toward the lower
end Of the city, more Respondent than ever
in the early morning light, with the wind
stretching every flag and streamer taut,
and swapping their folds as though in jubi-
lstion. One of the things which attracted
the people to the Battery on this second
day was the sound of martial music pro-
ceedlng from band which preceded Riker
Post, g. A. R., to the Battery, where flag
was raised with appropriate ceremonies.
lhls, however was not the only attraction,
for as the sun rose the soul-inspiring strains
of "Old Hundred" were borne on the breeze
10 many listening ears, the chimes of old
Trinity, run by Albert Meislahn, Jr., fur
nlshlng the music. The following pro-
gramme was gone through with on the
chimes: sold Hundred, +" Hail Columbia
Yankee Doodle" Centennial March,"
Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,"
America" "The Starry Flag" Our Flag
Is There" Aud Lang Syue," My Coun-
try's Flag of Stars"
HURRYING THRONES.
As the morning wore along the crowds
10 the streets became even greater than
tney were yesterday, and at this time the
hurry was even greater, for one and all
saw the necessity of reaching points of
vantage from which TO view the parade at
tne earliest possible moment. Then tn
SOUND Of bells calling the people to thanks
4 giving services in the various churches,
awakened the people to the true solemnity
ui tne occasion. Services were held in all
.ne churches OF the city of every denomi-
VI. .lon, tne yotive mass being offered up in
Ine catholic churches at which special
prayers were held. AS matter OF course,
