Constable Staley threw the iron drag in
10 the river and the barrel boat started on
It's journey. Everything was secure. The
extra irons had been carefully fastened,
The Inanhole cover lad been battened with
tarpaulin and Graham was securely fast
ened. The barrel moved slowly, almost
painfully slow, down TO the b. rseshoe rap
ids. Suddenly it disappeared and the
watchers thought it had gone under for
good, but IL reappeared In few minutes
and kept dsshing on down the upheaved
torrent toward the brink OF the cataract.
The red top of the barrel was seen most o.
the way, bu! occasionally there was daz-
cling streak OF drsb which showed how the
barrel was spun around by the waves as
they carried the craft onwar,i 10 the brink
OF the falls. The two consta5les solemnly
agreed never to divulge the TACT that they
had started Grsham on the trip unless he
came out safely. Staley roEed across to
the American side and Horn drove as fast
as he could to and across the bridge.

New YORK, April M.-The Metropoli-
tan opera house was thrown open at 8
o'clock for the centennial ball. Long be.
fore that hour, however, Broadway and
Seventh avenues, in the vicinity of the
opera house, were literally packed with
curious spectators, and the police had
the greatest difficulty in keeping pas
sage-ways open for the carriages Of those
who, bent upon avoiding the crush that
came later, e%ndeavored to be among the
first to arrive.
Mayor Grant, as host and chairman of
the committee on the centennial celebra-
ton, arrived shortly after 10 o'clock, and
alittle after half past ten President Har-
rison arrived, accompanied by Mrs. Har-
rison, Vice President Morton and Mrs.
Morton, and Lieut.. Gov. Jones and Mrs.
Jones. The manager of the ball, Mr.. f.
{. Stanton, met the president at his car
riage and conducted him into the build
ing, where the mayor gave the party a
formal reception, the members of the
signal corps and of the Second battery
being drawn up i'll line in the vestibule
as the party passed through. AT the
conclusion OF the reception the guests
above named were conducted to the ball
room.
Immediately after this had been done
the opening quadrille was formed and
and the ball was in full splendor.
The Quadrille was watched with IN
Tense interest. and the actors in the little
social drama which has created so many
heart burnings played their parts we'll.
After it was Owe the floor quickly be-
came crowded as the general dancing
began. The scene was nov one of bril-
liancy seldom equalled and the gaiety
continued undated until long after
dawn.
The families Of the president and vice
president and those of the members Of
the cabinet, judges of the supreme court
and other high personages occupied the
special boxes reserved for them, where
they enjoyed a fine view Of the %festivi-
ties and were themselves the observed of
all observers.
The tables in the supper room pre-
sented a most beautiful appearance be-
fore the work of devastation began.
Even the immense champagne bar
