At 1925 Gen. Schofeld gave the order to
March, and the $4,000 men in line moved as
if by magic. Bands, drum corps, &c, kept
up continuous music almost during the entire
march, which lasted until $50 p. m. During
the march the men were frequently refreshed
from various stands along the route.
Religious services and parades were held
throughout the country, and there was almost
a general suspension of business
At night the Metropolitan Opera House
was the scene of the greatest banquet ever
given. Addresses were delivered by Gov.
Hill, of New York; Elk President Cleveland,
Chief Justice Fuller Elk President Hayes,
Gov. Lee, of Virginia; Gen. VIM. t. Sher-
man, Charles w. Eliot President of Harvard
University; and Elk Minister James Russell
Lowell.
Fire works were displayed at various points
in the city during the evening, many Of the
pieces being of historical character
New York never had such crowd, the
number of visitors on Tuesday being estimated
at over one million. Hotels, boarding houses
and restaurants were unable to accommodate
the masses and many persons were compelled
to seek food and lodging outside of the city.
The festivities closed on Wednesday with
a civic and industrial parade in which $4,000
persons participated. 1t reversed the order
of the military parade by starting up town and
marching down to Canal street. Many floats
and tableaux were presented; the German.
Americans, $4,000 in number, gave the finest
exhibition outside of the historical tableaux;
all the English, Scotch and Irish Societies
were in line, the latter being estimated at
nearly 10000 men. The parade was marvel
to many citizens, who knew something of the
industries but had never witnessed so fine
display of the men who worked in the factor
les and shops. This closed the three days
celebration, the largest ever given in this or
any other country. Notwithstanding the i'm
mense crowds only two series accidents were
reported.
