Then would follow brief song and
dance. The peculiar greeting Of the
! PennsyIyanians seemed to eaten the New
Workers, and at all times until the Dis
patch arrived the Kaaterskill was theeen-
ter of a big fleet Of steamers, each ones
passengers cheering the keystone legisla-
tors lustiiy.
About 1890 o'clock the Dispatch with
President Harrison and his cabinet on
board arrived in the bay. When the
cannon had ceased booming the Kaater-
skill steamed close to her and slluted the
president with the campaign cry This
was gracefully answered BY the president
who raised his hat TO the Pennsylvania
delegation.
After the president had landed at the
foot OF Wall street, East river. where
George Washington landed 100 years
ago, the procession moved up the river
almost to Black wells Island, and then
the Kaaterskill with her Keystone legis-
lators on board steamed back to her

THE SHOW WINDS Ur.
New YoaK, May The wind-up Of
Gothams great show was the civic parade
to-day, in which nearly 10000 people
took part The procession started short
ly after 10 O'Clock tsis morning aud
when darkness came the end Of the
parade had not neasly reached the re-
viewing stand
The magnitude Of the parade was too
great for even New York. When night
came the procession broke mp in con-
fusion. To a great extent to-lay's parade
was gigantic advertisement for the
manufacturers Of New York. The brew
ers, the bakers and all the other indus
trial interests were represented by big
delegations.
The parade was in command Of Gener-
al Butterield and was moved promptly.
Il started from Up town instead Of down
town. The line was formed up near Cen
trsl Park, while the military parade Of
Yesterday was formed at the opposite end
Of the town-Battery Place. There was
not the same interest shown in to-days
parade as there was in the military pa
rade. While Fifth avenue WAS black
with people there was not anything n ear
like the crowd Of yesterday.

light came. It was easy to pick out the
people who had walked the streets all
night Most of them had handbags and
showed their faces the fatigue brought
about by loss of rest.

scene was one Of indiscribable confusion
all day. The horse cars were crowded,
restaurants we're packed, saloons were
besieged New York was unprepared
for such crowd, People arrived from
all over the nearby country during the
entire morning. They came by the
thousands and hurried uptown Thous-
ands bought empty soap boxes at = half
dollar apiece in order 10 look over the
heads Of the others al the parade lee

eeding day, at ten cents glass. Peanuts
were not to be had they were all eaten
up the day before.
