New YORK, May 1.-The centen-
nial celebration is over, and brushing
aside the minor accidents that seemed
to detraet from the splendid perfection
of the three days array of events, the
whole conclusion Was very happily
summed up in the encomiums Of Pres
ident Harrison's banquet speech last
n ght. The Empire State and the
chief city of the republic has seen
that the first Inauguration day was
ittinsly commemorated. -. ,-,-.rrs
! n "a THE CIVIC PARADE. C.(4-L5
The civic celebration of to day was
as we'll favored in regard to the
weather as yesterdays parade had
been, but the same general Interest
did not hold the crowds together.
Along the route the streets were al
most as crowded, but the visitors wan
dered al! over the city seeing its sights,
and gave us a chance to realize what a
tremendous number of them were in
town All day long they kept NOV
ing about the spots of interest, and
the second procession, with its thous-
ands of stalwart citizens and the at
tractive floats, depicting the great
events in our history and the marvels
of industrial progress, were only q
secondary consideration. This does
not mean, however, that the procession
of to- day did not have a mammoth
concourse of onlookers. 1t must
merely be noted that it did not, except
in this instance, fail to come up to the
elaborate programme devised for it by
its manages s = ssIss1et u =
FEATURES OF THE PARADE.
The parade was nearly two hours
late in starting owing to the delay of
getting the floats and societies into line.
With all the waits ard breaks, which
were numerous, it took from 10 20 to
3 o'clock to pass the reviewing stand.
1t was the peoples day, and they
joined in its celebration with a hearty
eagerness that was wonderful after all
the fati que that the first two days oc
casioned. The grand army of toilers
We'd with Tuesdays corps of soldiers.
and they have no reason to be asham-
ed of the contrast. The tableanx
were handsome pictures. The veter-
ans associations, the Sons of Veterans,
the old time fire laddies, the singing
societies, the Catholic, the Irish Ame-
rican and industrial organizations
had full ranks and admirable dis
cipline. The display of the German
section, owing to the superior advan-
tages they have by means of their
special organizations, was by far the
best part of the show. There was
very small comfort in it for those who
in the light of the Samoan controversy
might feel disposed to question the en-
tire loyalty Of the German American
to his adopted country. But there
was no attempt to make racial dis
tinctions in the ranks. All were hap
PLY blended into one harmonious
chorus of patriotic acclaim for the
honor and glory of their common
country. Prom Fifty seventh street
down to Canal street the sidewalks
were as impossible and the crowds as
impenetrable as on yesterday, but it
was a good-natured, jolly and orderly
crowd.

RErROSPECTIVE.

The celebration being over, what
can be said in a retrospect of its de-
tails The whole presented SO glorious
picture that it seems the smallest of
caviling to attempt to criticise the de-
tails. Yet candor forces the admis.
sion that there has been much that
'twere better had it been otherwise.
Taking the events serially, the first
day from the opening was succession
of scrambles. The naval procession
could not be kept in the elaborate
procession that was supposed to dis
play our merchant MARINE" as the
coastwise and river craft our peculiar
legislation has left us is designated, but
that was mainly the fault of people
whose curiosity would not let them
obey orders Then the grand ball,
while truly beautiful sight at its
opening, was so grossly mismanaged
that, it is wonderful that nothing
worse than the drunken orgie in the
supper room resulted. For this. las,
bad conduct the cornuittee must ina
be held entirely resInnsible.E IL WAS
Lot their promise to supply gn.d
manners to the free lunch tfienis who
are present ut every gathering. nor
cnmman decency to people to whose
natures such strain is fund mentally
lacking. The absence, however, Of
the executive ability to properly di-
rect such an assemblage was = fault
for which they can offer no excuse.

THE GROWING SUCCESS.

n The second day presented en- almnst
perfect success. The Unprecedented
and grand massing of our citizen SOL
diers well showed, in the language of
President Harrison, that. ssnever in
the history of. our nation have We been
so well equipped for war upon the
land as now, and yet we have never
seen time in our history when our
people we're SO smitten with the love Of
peace" The great parade formed
and moved without any more serious
hitch than that occasioDed by the in
ability Of the jam of people to get out
Of its way quick enough. The dinner
Tuesday night was the one event that
crowned al the Others as we'll by It's
inpressiveness as its complete and
smooth progress to q gratifying end.
