 NEw YORK, May 1.-The great event of to- day and the last in the series of centennial celebrations to commemorate the inaugura- tion of Washington was the civic parade, designed to illustrate the industrial progress of our country during it's century of national life. The splendid naval and military demon strations of the past two days surpassing any of their kind ever witnessed in the new world seemed not to have satiated the appe- tite of the people for sightseeing. The weather was clear and cool ESQ nearly per feet as could be desired. From very early h UT crowds began to gather at all the places along the line of march from which view of the parade could be had and by 8 o'clock the sidewalks all along the route were well fringed with the waiting throng. The stands open spaces in the vicinity of the Presidents reviewing stand at Madison Square were es- pscially crowded. Early this morning, the streets leading east and west from Fifth ave- nue from 50th to 59th street, were alive with delegations from the various organizations which were to comprise the procession, and the work of disposing of them in proper posi- tion rapidly proceeded, so that when the or der was given to start, each detachment fell into line without delay or confusion.
 The President was escorted from the resi- dence of Vice President Morton, Seventeenth street and Fifth avenue, to the reviewing stand at Madison Square, which he reached few minutes after 10 o'clock. From the moment that the President stepped into the carriage at the VicePresident's house until he reached the reviewing stand he was greeted with one continued cheer, 10 which he responded by repeatedly waving his hat The parade started at 9:30 a. m. from Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street, the column passing down the avenue. As it's head reached Fifty- seventh street Mayor Grant, with the representatives, delegates from the civic, industrial and commercial societies and organizations of New York, who had been ! stationed in that vicinity, awaiting it's ap- | proach, moved and took the lead until the Presidents reviewing stand was reached. The mayor bore an address wkich, on reach- ing the stand. he formally presented to the President amid great applause from the null ! titude. The President gracefully signifed I his acknowledgement of the address and ex- ! tended formal greeting to the city's repre- sentatives, who then took the places reserved for them on the grand stand around the President. The column then proceeded down the avenue, past the grand stand, with bands playing and flags waving.
 First came detail of mounted police, which swept the street clear from curb to curb of all stragglers A battalion of police on foot followed ,escorting the chief marshal, I Gen. butter6eld. standard bearer waved aloft the chief marshal's banner, flag of yellow silk, adorned with the arms ot the State and city.
