VIEWING THE BIG DISPLAY
All The East River was aglow with the lights
Of vessels which had come out with parties on
board 10 sec the fireworks, and all the piers and
roofs which commanded view of the scene were
crowded with people. People enough TO populate
"A small nation came forth and perched themselves
in airy places to see the display On the broad
roof Of The Tribune Building the crowd was so
Great that there wa, more standing room even,
and beneath the Illuminated dome of the World
Building there was a crowd Of similar proportions.
On that part of City Hall Park from which one
can get glimpse of the big bridge, and packed
tightly on the steps of the Hall of Records, was
dense mass Of people who stood and looked with
admiration through the whole display in a silence
which was occasionally broken by prolonged
On ~ some particularly fine piece OF fireworks
was discharged
The scene when the light Of the fireworks on
the Bridge illuminated the long black fringe that
stretched along the East River front, and the
dense masses that filled the roofs commanding
view of the Bridge, one to be long rcmem-
bcrcd. No fireworks ever had larger or more

All tie evening there was n steady stream Of
carriages pouring down into South-st, and that
thoroughfarc, which in the workdays is filled
with trucks and drays saw long procession OF
vehicles which might have been well considered

out in strong relief against the black background
Of the syy' the towering masts which almost form
a bordering grove along South-s'. for mile or
so above and below the great
Bridge which spans the East River

itful light glowcd, people crowded as thick ~
they could stand or cling. Not until the last
# the pieces which TN" master OF the fireworks
