THE DAY PARADE.
Ono of the Grandest Demonstrations
Ever seen ia New York.

ono of the Grandest Demonstrations
Ever seen in New York.
Everything in this wonderful week of
Columbian celebration progressed in a
sliding scale Of increasing merit.
The fervOr, earnestuess and universal
ity of the religious exercises of that
"Twin Sabbath"-Saturday and Sunday
last-were followed by the remarkable
school and college procession of Monday.
That, in turn, yielded in interest to the
great naval pageant, supplemented as it
was by the demonstration of the Catholic
societies of New York in the evening, SO
successful and so startling in It's numeri-
cal strength. But to quote the official
orders, the assembling, movement and
disbandment of the forces of the Army,
Navy and National Guard, the organiza-
tions Of the Grand Army of the Republic
and of the various societies" participating
in the military parade under the marshal
ship of Gen. Martin j. McMahon, in cele-
bration of the 40Oth anniversary of the
discovery Of America eclipsed all the pre-
cediug events, severally and collectively.
The Governors of five States-New
York, New Jersey Pennsylvania, Con-
nectcut and Massaohusetts--the entire
State National Guard of New York and
sylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey;
srong forces Of United States troops and
blueiackets, reinforced by such maies-
tic civic parade as only the great cosmo-
politan city of New York can produce
and one which was never before equalled,
all combined To do honor to the occasion.
How much longer the fever of excite,
ment could have been kept up without
public danger might be asked, il these
demonstrations were to continue.
1t seemed as if the city never had been
so full of strangers before, yet they
continued to pour in, All the railroads
| connecting with distant points were taxed
to their full capacity and had to run
their trains in sections. But good order
| and good humor everywhere prevailed.
Distinguished strangers were plentiful
as blackberries in August. Without
referring to those enumerated elsewhere
as participating in the parade, among
those who viewed the proceedings from
| different points along the route were Mrs.
| u. S. Grant Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Geo.
| b. Mcclellan, Secretaries Foster OF both
the State and Treasury, Secretaries
| Rusk and Noble, the Italian Minister,
Baron Faya, who of right has been a
leading and interesting spectator Of the
honors paid his countrymen, the Turkish
Minister (dayroyeni Bey), and many
others.
The order of procession being reversed
from that followed ON Monday and Tues
day, and the parade beginning down
town and marching up, instead of start
| ing in the upper portions of the city and
marching down, ali the leading streets Of
older New York We're laid under con-
tribution as assembling grounds.
