Arranging Preltmtnaries.
There was little sleep permitted to the
celebrating city The $50 odd bands Of the
Catholic parade of last night, were.march-
ing about to the tune of I'VE won't 60
home till morning" until after a. IN.
At 30 the deep boom of the reveille
guns woke everybody up again to
another day of such perfect weather as
surely was never vouchsafed before in a
whole week of open air celebrations
Bands began to play again, church chimes
to ring, and the first notes and noises of
the day S reioicings were in full working
order by a. N.
Artillery was rumbling along the
streets gaily caparisdned aides, superbly
mounted, were galloping everywhere, G,
seeing that the preliminary orders of the
marshal in chief were carried out, and the
troops of visitors from adjacent cities
were hurrying in and taking up positions
for the day.
The official stands had seating capacity
for over 10000 guests. They were
located in front of the Washington arch,
in University place; in Union Square; in
front of the Lafayette monuments at
Central Park and Fifty-ninth street and
chiefest of all, in Madison Square, where
the procession was reviewed by the vice
president. Complimentary stands to
which admission was had by invitation,
were erected for the mayor at the city
hall; for the board of aldermen at Lin
C )ln monument: at Washington monu-
ment and at the Worth monument, for
distinguished guests These had a seat
ing capacity of over 10, 600 more. To all
these methods of seeing the sight were
added innumerable improvised stands
placed at the intersection of streets on
the line of parade, by special police per
mission, formed of floats, on which dry
! goods boxes and plank seats were piled
tier above tier.
Line of March.
The route Of the procession was from
the Battery, at the foot of Broadway. up
Broadway to Fourth street; west to
Washington Square, to Fifth avenue; up
Fifth avenue to Fourteenth street, to
Fourth avenue to Seventeenth street and
along Fifth avenue to Fifty-ninth street
there to disband.
The arrangements for disbanding were
as carefully and as deliberately made be-
forehand as those for assembling There
was no informal petering out. Each
division marched to its allotted station

beforehand that about 46, 600 men would
be in line. 1t became evident early in
the day that this estimate would be sur
passed. The time Of starting was 10 a. m.
General ExhiIeration.
The platoon of mounted police which
headed the procession had some
difficulty in clearing lower Broad
way. Marshal Mcmahon and his
brilliant staff were worthy Of the
day and the occasion. The artillery and
United States troops which followed
marched like regulars, as they were, but
even they, accustomed as they were to
public displays, seemed to partake some
what of the general exhileration and
moved with cheerfulness in keeping
with the rest. The blue jackets Of the
navy enioyad It also.
Riot Veterans Applauded.
New York's gallant national guards,
fresh from their services at Buffalo. es-
corting General Snowden and the Penn
sylvania troops who had such arduous
duties at Homestead, could exchange
campaign "reminiscences The familiar
blue hard service uniforms of the Penn
sylvania men were greeted with cheers
and not less generous welcome was ac-
corded to the visiting troops from the
neighboring states of Connecticut and
New Jersey.
Cheers for Pattison.
Governor Pattison, whose devotion
to the national guard of his state, of
which he was an officer long before he
was governor, is well known, riding at
the head of his men, was roundly
cheered. Governors Albeit, of New
Jersey and Bulkeley of Connecticut,
also came in for applause, as each headed
the troop of his respective state.
Remarkable Crowd.
Never was such crowd seen in any
, American city before It is impossible
