New rork's Reception to Presi-
 dent Harrison.

dent Harrison:
 President Harrison accompanied by member of his cabinet, participated in the Centennial celebration iu New York on Tuesday. The route over which they travelled was pretty much the same as that travelled over by Washing: ton one hundred years ago. The mode of travel, however, was somewhat differ ent as the latter made the trip on horse back. The reception 10 President liar rison was as nearly as possible like that of his predecessor a century ago.: A New YorK telegram gives the following particulars oi his arrival:
 It was about II,I7 when the star, ot the Dispatch on her trip up the bay was announced by guns from Fort Rich mond and it was after. twelve o'clock when she came in sight of the upper bay. For several minutes the roar of cannons, as she passed several men-of- war was almost deafening, each of these together with the forts ID the harbor firing a rational salute. The bay was crowded with small boats and vessels of every description so that rom dis tance glimpse of clear water was in'- possible. As the little war ship merged from K,ll von Kill the yacht cannon be- gan to boom in rapid succession, the national salute of twenty one guns being fired. Soon there was a perfect roar of cannons and clouds of smoke hung over the bay like bank of sea foam. Belches of the fire flashed through like sreaks of lightning giving the scene lurid glare. The scence was stirring one. Fzintly above the roar of the can non could be heard the shriIl pipe ef the the boatswaln's whistle on the revenue cutters, the yachts and men-of-war. h a trice sturdy tars manned the yards and crosstrees and with heads uncovered gave hearty American cheers as the Dis patch steamed slowly by. The officers stood with uncovered heads. As the Dispatch came opposite the aagships of the different squadrons the latter, one on each side, steamed out and accom- panied the war ship the length of the squadron, then the colors were dipped. As the Dispatch came opposite the Chicago the entire fleet of over 400 steamers blew their whistles. She passed the battery at Ie:ao. On went the stately war ship through the channel and into east river, where she came to anchor off the foot of wall street.
 AS soon as she had got well into the river signal gun was fired from the Chicago and anchors were got on beard with alacrity. Then began the real naval parade. siglH that will long be remembered by the thousands who lined the docks and house tops along the river front. Almost every steamer ot any size had band of music aboard, and the variety of airs that fioased ashore on the hay air was something remarkable. The Chicago steamed on unti. opposite Twenty fourth street, when another gun was fired. This was the signal for the yachts and cutters to disperse, and like huge flock of swans they gracefully wheeled around and sped down the bay to their various anchor ages. Then the naval vessels came to anchor of Fifty-first street. Mean while the merchant division was steam ing up East river. both divisions combin ing into one. Led by the Bergen they steamed up the river, literal mass ot- bunting and flags The flag ship turned She stake just below the. rocks at Hunters Point and then came down the west side of the river, around the battery and up the east side ot the Hudson and broke up.
 On the arrival of the Dispatch oppo- site Wall street, ferry barge manned by crew of shipmasters from the Marine society. uniformed in: black srock coats, striped trousers and silk hats, such as were worn py the society on the occasion of Washington's inau- pural. went out to the vessel and con- \ ducted it to the dock. As the presi- dent stepped out of the boat presiden' ,iai salute was given by twenty-ons guns again. The president was re ceived by Governor Hlll. Mayor Grant and William G. Hamilton. The pie' was brilliantly decorated, the roof be ing huttering mass of flags and s,reamers, and the interior: brilliant
 with all colors of the rainbow.
 After landing, the procession was al once formed. the president, and Cover nor HiIi and Mayor Grant being driver in landau and accompanied by con ,inuous cheers. The old banner of th' marine service, which was before Wash instcn on April zeth. l7s9, was to-da. carried before the presidents carriag' up Wall street. : Indian Depredations:
