The step from tho pomp and spkndor Of Q mil
tary review to the soberer attractions Of civic
and industrial display was accomplished yesterday
II not without certain sense OF contrast at least
without necessity for any comparisons that ars
odious. Something, II may be true, OF the IRE
and brilliancy Of the pageant Of Monday was miss
ing in the stiI vaster but less coherent and less
symmetrical parade Of yesterday. The streets, per-
haps were o little less densely Shronsed; the
crowds on the stands, at the windows and on the
housetops along the route o little less buoyant
and enthus astic. But the spirit Of the celebra
tion was still strong, and the display ran on such
large and generous lines that it was easy to forget
even the dash and gayety Of the review, in the
varied and imposing sugsestiveness Of yesterdays
spectacle.
The army of Monday had been gathered by
command. The Government had called, and they
appeared to take their share in the Official cerc.
monies Of . great anniversary. But yesterday
there was no summons Of State 10 put the vas,
body Of paraders in motion. 1t was popular and
unforced pageant, the spontaneous expression Of O
genuine eagerness on the part of all classes OF
citizens to do honor to the frs,

ALL NATIoNAIITIEs REPRESENTED.
Few parades, in fact, have seen so large o
body Of forsign-born citizens IN the ranks.
Probably half Of those who marched yesterday
were born on foreign SOIL or trace their parentage
In generation or two back. to foreign subjects.
Yet this distinctvely American holiday. socie-
ties Of all races and nationaties, German. French
Italian, Austrians, Scotchmen, Irishmen, Poles
and Scandinsvians, joined in, many Of them st
0 considerable expense, to hold up the reputation
Of civic against military patriotism. No feature
of the procession was more striking than tho
share tho so-called foreign element had In It, and
no assistance from foreign-born New-York In .
similar way has, perhaps, ever been so extensive,
so timely, and 10 grateful The Germans are
TO be especially commended for their aid. Y
For the distinctively American features ono had
to look to three distinct divisions, tho sohooi
children, who made the best msrchers: the vet-
Gran aremen. and the members OF tne Soonev OF
Tammany. All three made an excellent showing,

may be those who question Tammany's position
IN this summary. But who can say thas tho
