The remarks of the President were
frequently interrupted with cheers, and
when he sat down the air was rent with
the applause of the assembled crowd.
Then came cries for ''Morton," but
The Vice President merely responded by
rising and bowing to the throng.
Archbishop Corrigan then pronounced

bishop was attired in his pontiticial

GORGEOUS MILITARY PAGEANT.
The crush in the streets in the lower
part of the city was so great, as the vast
bodies of military continued to arrive at
their appointed places, that it was found
necessary to make a formal start some
what earlier than had been intended.
This was done in order that the line
might be heightened out and got in
marching order, thus relieving at once
the pressure in the lower wards and
placing the head of the column in such
position that when the President reached
the reviewing srand he need be subjected
to no delay.
At precisely 1925 General Schofeld
gave the order, and the greatest mill
tary parade OF modern times started.
From Pine street, the point from which
the start Was made, up Broadway as far
as the eve could reach, the sidewalks
were literally blockaded With people,
while windows, doorways and roofs Of
buildings were simply mass of human
ity. As the gorgeous pageant began to
move up Broadway, all the patriotism in
this mass, which had been pent up now
many hours, broke forth. Cheers rent
the air: handkerchiefs and banners held
in the hands of the population began
waving, and New York and its many
thousands of visitors were happy.
The scenes along the first part Of the
line of march almost beggar description.
The crowd, however, under all its crush
ing suferings, was marvelously good
natured, its sense of touch being ap-
parently subordinated By, or, more pro-
perlv, drowned in, its excess of patriotic
feeling.
Broadway as far as the eye could see
was blaze of bunting and sea of faces.
House-tops, windows, .edges, telegraph
poles and lamp-posts, private stands
without number, and every possible
vantage ground We'd with the sidewalk
crowds in numbers.
The largest and most closely packed
crowd that tried to see the parade was
at the point where it was dismissed. Ac.
cordlng to the programme, dlsmlssals
should have taken place at Fifty-nlnth
street and Fifth avenue, but owing to
the inability of the police to clear the
avenue from Fifty-seventh to Fifty
ninth street, the committee dismissed
the troops at Fifty-seventh street, leav-
ing the great assemblage entirely out IN
the cold that has been waiting above that
point since morning When the head
of the procession reached Fifty-seventh
street the mounted police made an ef-
tort to disperse the crowd, but they only
succeeded in causing the greatest con-
fusion and excitement among the women
and children. In the crush three women
we're seized with convulsions and
tainted. They were cared for by & sur
geon stationed near BY in a police
wagon fitted up as an ambulance. Inc
end of the procession did not reach
Fifty-seyenth street until after 7 o'clock.
New YORK, May 1.-The third day OF
tie great Washington centennial cele-
bration broke clear and cool-another
fine day for marching. The chief and
almost only notable feature of the day
will be the great civic and industrial
parade, which forms early this morning
at Fifty seventh street and Fifth avenue.
On account of the unavoidable length Of
the pageant and for the personal cou.
venience of the President, The start is to
be made at $40 q. m. At 8 o'clock the
party will take up their po-
sltion on the reviewing stand at Madison
Square. The route will be just the re-
verse of that of yesterdays procession
down Fifth avenue to Seventeenth street,
to and around Union Square by Four
teenth street, 10 Fifth avenue, to Wash
ington Square, to Naverly Place, to
and down that thoroughfare
to Fine street. The order of march in
cludes features that establish beyond
perad renture the fact that the parade
will be indeed a great one. 1t will have
to move more slowly than that Of yes
terday, on account of the number of
tableaux and floats in line, and those
who attain points of vantage early this
as witnesses OF the spectacle
are likely to be kept in their seats all
day long.
General Butterfield, with his staff OF
100 men. took up their position at Fifth
avenue and Fifty-ffth street at $50
~. but at that hour none of the organl-
cations had put in an appearance. In
