THE PRESIDENT LEAVES THE EQUITABLE.
1t was 3 40 p. m. when word was passed to the
front of the Equitable Building that the President
was coming, and immediately afterward mi hty
cheer accompanied with clapping Of hands and
waving of handllerchiefs, greeted him and his
party as they emerged from the building and
entered their carriages. The various organize
tionS composing the escort at once wheeled into
column, and in the same order as before the march
resumed.
THE TRIP TO THE CITY HALL
The line of march from the 'utabe Building
10 the City Hail might have well been called
Patriotic Lane. For it was an inspiring sight as
the President rode along through dense rows Of
people whose almost cont nuous cheers must have
touched more than one man besides those for
whom they were intended. II was a dazzling
picture, too as the troops, in Say uniforms, with
GagS fixing preceded the Presidential party,
marching to the stirring strains of military bands
for block after block along the line of march the
buildings were almost hidden with bunting. The
sun cast a bright glow on the pi0tu.e rs the
President with head barred, began his triumphal
ride. Long lines OF policemen, keeping the sway
ing, pressing crowds on the sidewalks lent TO the
scene touch of blue that melted as the surgng
crowds burst their bonds when the carriages Of
the President and his party drew near.
CHEERS FOR THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE
On came the President, a picture Of health,
smiling hat in hand and bowling right and left
to tn cheering multtudes. Soldierly and erect,
10y his side sat Governor Hill, who yielded the
palm Of applause to the President by keeping his
handsome Cedarst. and the other side streets
were black with humanity, and q CHI I'd of hats
waved in the air. There were tier on tier Of
people in front of the Boreel Building. and the
mass of humanity there sent up shouts that were
returned by the multitude opposite, and were
raised alons the lines on both sides of Broadway
No one could tell where the cheering began anew
any more than he could where the crowd
began. There were cries of Harrison :" " Har-
Iisun.r followed by a volume of cheers Tor
Blaine. Blaine James G. Blainc!1 The Gov
crnor and the Mayor got their share OF the ap.
plause too.
As the procession swept into the City Hall plaza
the cheers were renewed by host that filled
every available inch of room in the southern half
of the park. Their, as the procession halt /, the
prpttiest picture Of the march was fO.mcd. Two
long lines Of whitc-robed schoolgirl stretched
from the entrance OF the hall down the broad
steps to the first line Of troops that extended from
opposite the steps of the City Hall to Broadway
forming an L. The Tribune Building, appr1-
pratcly decorated the adjoining great structures
and the massive Posohice Building made a fire
background. The gIyly dressed crowd in the
park, constantly shifting. made pleasing PAN
Drama for the people in adjoining high buildings
