CHICAGO, May 1.-The centennial celebra-
ton here was more generally observed than
any holiday ever was IN all probability. 1t
Is doubtful if the city was ever so generally
decorated as II was yesterday. The orna-
mentation down { WI made the streets a
blaze of color, while away in the outskirts
the decorations were both general
and elaborate. The morning was
devoted to religious services, in which
every church in the city joined - and
every one was well attended and to the
school children's meetings

of the latter, Hons W c. ? Breckenridge,

assembled IN body to the review
ing stand where, without speechmaking,
they presented to President Harrison an adj
dress, handsomely engrossed on parchment
and inclosed in silver box of Tiffany &
Co. 3 manufacture. The delegates then took
seats on the stand and the procession took up
its line of march again.
Composition of tho Host.
1t was display of infinite variety Among
the organizations taking part were organiza-
tons Of workingmen representing all the
trades, national associations of foreign-born
citizens, Sons of Veterans, trades unions,
military companies, firemen, benevolent So
cietiex, college and school societies, and innu-
merable other organizations. VI course the
industrial feature was the largest, and Of all
the Germans were the most numerously rep
resented as q division. At the headquarters
Of the Germans it was claimed that they had
40 900 Of the $1,000 in line, and fifty-seven
floats designed by Keppler, and costing $70,-
900. Eighteen bands furnished the music for
the division.
Description Of the Floats.
1t was a most novel and interesting sight
as the host Of marchers passed the reviewing
stand. The floats were at once wonder and
a study, and especially interesting were those
at their ordinary vacations.
The gold heaters were at work beating
gold, snd the workers in iron were beating
and manufacturing iron; the marble cutters
were saving and cutting marble in the new
method. The plasterers were modelling in
plaster and plastering house; the tobacco
industry, with 100 plantation negroes singing
plantation songs; the girls manufacturing
tobacco, and the ship joinsrs with their ship
and bell, and SO on for about every trade on
the list
Among the more elaborate and typical
floats were the following:
An emigrant ship showing the model of
the old Holland ships which brought Ger
man emigrants to this country,
A representation of the united cities of
New York and Brooklyn SPAWNED by the
Brooklyn bridge, with emblematic figures Of
chemistry. mechanics, and industry upon the
four corners.
The typical grandmother reading fairy.
stories to the children, with the butterfly, the
emblem of the fairies, leading the chariot.
The Sleeping Beauty. the Bad Witch and
the gnomes Represented under . beautiful
canopy.

hang on the walls into your homes, into the

tea ch them that the eye of the young and old
should look upon that flag as one of the
familiar glories of every American.

are in our hearts, born of the inspiration
which comes with the story of the flag Of
martyrs to liberty. 1t is the grave yard
into which common country has gathered
the unconscious deeds OF those who died that
the thing might live which we love and call
our country, rather than anything that can
be touched or seen. Let me add a thought
due to our country's future Perhaps never
have we been SO well equipped for war
upon land as now, and we have never
seen the time when our people were more
smitten with the love Of peace. To elevate
the morals of our people, to hold up the law
as that sacred thing which, like the ark Of
God Of old, may not be touched by irrever-
emit hands, but frowns upon any attempt to
dethrone its supremacy; to unite our people
In all that makes home comfortable as well
as to give our energies in the direction of ma
terial advancement; this service may we
render. And out of this great demonstra-
ton let us draw lessons to inspire us to con-
secrate ourselves anew to this love and serv-
ice Of our country.
This closed the banquet 1t would be a

officers, supreme court justices, governors

congressman, past and present; leaders in lit
erature and art, military and naval heroes,
pulpit celebrities, men of wealth and social
distinction, women of beauty and culture

A RETROSPECTIVE VIEW.

magnificent Success of the Display-The
National Observance.
The perfection with which all the parts of
the machinery entering into the construction
Of such celebration as that of the past three
days worked is something marvellous. True,
the different committees having the various
departments in charge have been engaged for
many months: but even taking this into con-
sideration, the management was creditable
in the highest degree. From the time that
the president started from Washington City
to the end of the civic parade, there was
hardly hitch; every portion of the design
filled its place; there were no delays; every
committee and officer having any duty to
perform was just where the duty was to be
done at the time for its execution. With
streets packed with hundreds of thousands of
people, and innumerable bodies of men to be
gotten into certain places at certain times,
they all "got there" 1t was a grand, mag
nificent success.
