Survivor of 1879.

New YoRK, May 1.-The big show ia
over. Rows Of Chinese lau terms are burn
ing here and there Oh house fronts and
some OF the big hotels and business houses
are bright as day with the illumination of
scores OF electric lights arranged in all
manner OF picturesque designs. Bnt for
the most part New York has gone to bed
and Is sleeplng the deep sleep OF the ut
urly wearcd.
The splendid military pageant of yes
terday was rather the nations than New
Yofk's, and Pennsy lvania, New Jersey,
Massac husetts and Ohio shared the cory
" tn the Empire State.
Tho crowd around Madison Square,
where President Harrison was to review
the procession, was, 90 far as the eye
could determine, ab great as yesterday.
Tie President himself was apparently a
little weary, aud the crowd which expect
"a 10 see him In his place In the little bal
conY which julted out from the main
stand, by o, had to possess their souls in
patience for more than good hour before
he appeared.
| AT quarter past 10 there was rum
ming cheer al down the line and in II
moment General Harrison arrived in the
open carriage, drawn by four horses, that
he has used during his stay here. The
multitude cheered again and again and
the President bowed.
The cheering had scarcely subslded
when Mayor Grant, as Datty Rsa young
bachelor is expected to be, walking at
the head Of a body Of seventy mareha's,
marched up to the ,tand and stepping
forward held up to the President a
cylinder, ten or twelve inches long, OF
repousse silver. He made little speech
OF twenty or thirty words In voice so
low thut the President probably caught
only the drift of 1t. The President took
the Offering with a smile and THANK
YOU" The cylinder enclosed scroll,
upon which was engrossed the following
