NEW YORK, May 1.-The third day Of
the great Washington centennial celebra-
ton broke clear and cool, another fine day
for marching. The chief and almost only
notable feature of the day was ths great
civic and industrial parade, which formed
early this morning at Fifty y-seventh street
and Fifth avenue. On account of the un-
avoidable length of the pageant, and for
the personal convenience of the President,
the start was to be made at $50 o'clock.
The route was just the reverse of that Of
Yesterdays procession, as follows: Down
Fifth avenue to Seventeenth street, to and
around Union square, by Fourteenth street
TO Fifth avenue, to Washington square. to
Waverly place, to Broadway and down that
thoroughfare to Pine street.
Con. Butterfield with his staff of 100 men
took up their position at Fifth avenue and
Fifty-hfth street at $50 o'clock a. m, but at
that hour none of the organization had put
in an appearance. Inspectors Williams and
Steers who, on account of the injury sus-
tanned by Inspector Conlin, were to have
entire charge of the parade, were early on
hand. BY 9 o'clock a. m. organizations
began marching and countermarchlng in
the side streets, getting into position.
EARLY MORNING SCENES.
From early in the morning the familiar
scenes OF the two days previous were re-
enacted at the various railroad depOts lead
ing into the city, except in this, that the in
coming crowds, instead of being largely
made up of military, were composed of
sightseers and industrial organizations,
which were coming to take part in the pa
rade. Visiting firemen were coming in on
every train and many of them brought
their gayly bedecked apparatus with
them. AT the elevated railroad
stations in this city the scene throughout
tne morning was one of almost indescrib-
able confusion. During the hours from z
to9 o'clock various bodies of men which
were TO take part in the great parade gen.
orally sought to avail themselves of the
iacllltles atf 5rded by these roads to reach
Iler destinations rapidly, and, conse-
quehtiy, the crush was great. On the east
siue the difficulty was added to by the fact
tnat the crowd was only admitted through
single door to purchase tickets,
ana being compelled to go in
o,asLe ME, their progress was
necessarily slow. This was also true in a
corresponding degree of the west side sta
Tons, where, however, the crush was not so

sCepe was busy one, though of course one
~ ehuless confusion owing to the difficulty
ol handling undrilled men.
ON THE BRIDGE.

tto"er clear. OF course this crush at the
