| the President reached the reviewing
stand, he need be subjected to no delay
| AT precisely 1925 Gen. Schotield gave
the order, and the greatest military
| parade of modern times started.
Just before 1890 O'Clock the President
| and other honored guests of the day
| were driven past the city hall stand in
open carriages, The knowledge that
they had started from the sub-treasury
| to take their places on the reviewing
stand at Madison Square, had been tele-
graphed along the line, and the mill
tary bodies had been drawn up in salut-
| ing columns on the east side of Broad
way.
| Sergt. Revelle and his squad OF
| twenty mounted officers rode ahead OF
the PRESIDENTS carriage, the horses in a
| quick canter set the pace maintained
| throughout the entire route. President
| HARRISON in TIE first carriage beside
| Vice President Morton kent his head
| uncovered and nodded 10 the right and
| lie t In acknow ,ed2ment of the wild ap-
piause which greeted him all along the
| hne. 1t was such reception as
| never before went up from q
| gathering on Broadway or anv
| other thoroughare. Men shouted
| themselves hoarse AMI waved their
| hats, while the ladies on the street, in
| windows and on stands and vehicles of
| all descriptions, waved flags, ribbons,
bunting ard handkerchleis vigorously.
The cabinet officers and other honored
| guests We're greeted with plaudits as
they drove next in order, but the ova-
| ton accorded eX-President Cleveland
was at many points more hearty than
was received by the occupants of the
| first coach. Soon ter the artv drove
out OF sight the procession again formed
| IN marching order and moved along.

New YoRE, April 30.-The Metropoli-
tan Opera House was tonight the scene
of the second chief event of the great

OF the greatest banquet possibly ever
held within the recollection of man.

decorated. The expense Of the din
ner is said to Lave been $35,0O0,
the wine alone causing an
expenditure of nearly $1,000. The
bill of fare in print was eight inches
long and OF French construction, being
wound up with twelve varieties OF wine
and three coIdials.

Gov. Hill welcomed the guests in pa
triotic words. In closing he said:
These religious ceremonies, these
arches of triumph, these banners un-
furled, these treasures of art, these
songs of praise, these pageants of in
dustrv, these scenes of rejoicing, III
which we Of this generation have now
part, all celebrate the giving
and the taking of Il solemn pledge
to uphold the liberty proclaimed. The
heroes of the American revolution are
now departed. That age of pre-em-
inent creative genius has passed away.
But the country which their valur,
craftsmanship and patriotism saved and
established, still proudly exists, en-
loving the blessings of civil
and religious liberty, augmenting in
population, increasing in resources,
STRENGTHENING in power. 1t is pros
ipIiviCih hla t,nipp Ito
contented people are reaping the ad-
vantages of laws made by themselves,
well and honestly administered. The
sentiments of every true American
are expressed in the hope that
faction may not destroy, that pride
may not injure, tnat corruption
NAV not undermine and that
secti0nalism may not divide this fair re-
public, but tnat it's borders may still
further be extended, its commerce may
float upon every sea, the stars upon
it's flag may be trebled, its free institu-
tions may live on and flourish, and its
linerty-loving people may continue TO
work out the problem of self-govern-
ment so long as freedom itself exists
and until time shall be no more"
