NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-To-day was anni-
versary day proper, Q legal holiday and one
that will long be remembered. With the
rising sun there was gun firing at the Battery
and other points OF the city. Flags were
hoisted at the battery and at the old fort in
Central park. Church bells we're rung and
1t was more like an old-fashioned Fourth Of
July than anything ever seen IN New York.
The military parade started soon after 10
o'clock under Gen. Martin T. MoMahon.
The line OF march was from the Battery up
Broadway to Fourth street, around WASH
ington square to Fifth avenue, thence TO

800 men from the warships, who participated
in the parade, together with 1000 regular
soldiers, the West Point Cadets, United

the Victoria hotel
There was no better marching in the pro-
cession than was executed by the West

and as they walked up Broadway in even
line as if walking behind rope they elected
cheer after cheer.

the popular fancy, aud they we're admired
moet boisterously by the miles Of human
walls In the streets.
