a turnout that Drew Out q Cyclone
of Cheers.
NEW YORK, May AT 9:30 o'clock the
parade started, headed by Seargent Baum
and sixteen mounted policemen, Grand
Marshal Butterfield and his staff of aides.
numbering 1l0, finely mounted and wearing
orange sashes with silver bullion rosettes
and fringe. The grand marshal showed
considerable annoyance at the tardiness
with which organizations which should
have been among the first in line arrived.
He and his aides were on hand at Fifty
seventh street and Fifth avenue before
7:30 O'Clock, and it was thought
that the grand civic parade
could be started at $50 o'clock. The tele-
graph station at the point where he and his
aides were stationed brought knowledge Of
slow movements that occasioned hours of
delay. Inspector Williams was in charge
of large squad of police about the start
ing point, and everything went on smoothly.
All along the line of march the sidewalks,
stoOps, stands and wagons found eager
occupants, and women passed in steady
streams to points of vantage, many carry
ing wooden boxes and camp stools, and
nearly all having packages containing
lunches. The assemblage was an
orderly one and gave no
trouble to anybody. The various churches
had stands for their parishioners. The
stand at the Roman Catholic orphan
asylum was well crowded, the lower por-
tion being set apart for distinguished cler-
gymen. An armchair sat IN the center of
the space and was occupied by Archbishop
Corrigan. The stand of the -four hun
dred, with one towering above it erected
by the common council, was filed when the
grand marshal reached that point at $40
O'Clock.
AN ALARM OF FIRE.
Just before the head of the parade reached
this point sounds Of fire bells were heard,
aud a hook and ladder truck came thunder
ing along through Forty-second street. The
street at this point was choked with people,
many of whom had been driven along down
by the mounted police. They and the regu-
lar patrolmen took in the situation at
glance, and IN most admirable
manner cleared a way for the passage
of the truck without occasi Oning any great
confusion or using undue force. AT the
Stewart mansion, on Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, the head Of the parade
made its appearance just before 10 O'clock.
As already intimated, the different trades
and associations were so late in arriving at
the point of assembly that they could not
take the places assigned them in the line by
Gen. Butterfield.
TURN OUT OF THE SCHOOL CHILDREN.
The boys from the various charitable
institutions and public schools being more
used to discipline than their elders IN the
parade, were first on the ground. The
public school scholars, comprising eight
battalions Of 400 each, under command OF
John y. Robinson, and esortiug a tableau
Of Washington at Valley Forge were
wheeled into Fifth avenue from Fiftieth
street eliciting muca applause from the mass
Of people on the sidewalks. The tableau rep
resented the general in his winter quarters
at Valley Forge, and his meeting with
Baron Steuben.
FIREMEN AND TAMMANY BRAVES.
The exempt freman's association OF this
city TO the number Of 200 came next, and
after them came the Tsnmany hail braves
under the craftsmanship Of Gen. John Coch-
rane A genuine Indian squaw and two
copper-c1lore braves, with color more than
skin deep, accompanied tlem. Justice
White was not on horseback.
A mammoth globe representing the
New York World, 80 drawn by two horses
and surrounded by several men apparently
keeping it ia position, rolled down Firth
avenue from Fifty-seventh street at DAD
O'Clock, and was much admired.
The Manhattan Ship Joiners Association
was early on the ground with mammoth
model Of a ship-riggsd vessel, which was
much admired. The carpenters and loiners
looked picturesque with their small aProns,
