ing out In long pedestrian lines, while
those who remained crowded closer to
the front to hear the beautiful closing
prayer by Cardinal Gibbons. Then
came the chorus, in Praise OF God,
the benediction by Rev. IL. @. McCook
OF Philadelphia. and, at o'clock the
farewell words of Director General
Davis, announcing tho formal close OF
the exercises.
AS the director general finished his
speech a battery on the shore announced
the final completion of Chicago's trust
the erection and dedication OF the
great buildings that are to hold tho
Worlds Columbian Exposition OF 1890.
The great Fair had been formally
opened.
Significance of the Dedication.
From the first gun that doomed In
Jackson Park at daybreak TO the last
echo OF the national salute that closed
the exercises, it was day OF great
significance, filled with historic features
and personalities.
The progress OF humanity In four
centuries was illustrated in the great
building where the exercises were held.
A Cardinal OF Rome sat on the same

and hear the preliminary blare OF the
brass instruments, which are being put
through preliminary operation for the
music which is to come. DiffuSe over
this entire scene the growing murmur,
which at times mounts 10 roar, and a
faint idea OF the scene may be pictured
on the mental vision.
To one who has never seen the be-
hemoth buildings in Jackson Park, it
may be impossible to give an adequate
idea of the colossal magnitude of the
great spectacle. National conventions
have been accepted as great assem-
blages, yet several national conven-
tions could have been held In the lob
bies without interference with the peo-
pie in the main room.
This wonder OF the engineering world
does not seem building. The dimen-
sions are mountainous and not archi-
tectural. Standing against the rail of
the inner balcony, sweeping the broad
expanse Of busy floor, the scene is q
landscape and not an interior. The
CLINT and sparkle Of rich costumes and
jeweled decorations are the sprinkled
flowers nesting against the darker color
OF the uplift When 100000 people
waved their handkerchiefs, the prospect
was that OF thick cotton field tossed
by high w nd. In the exciting mo-
ments when enthusiasm took a violent
turn, the demonstration was not that Of
individuals, but of the undulating
whole. man in the thick Of this scene
was as nothing, u black spot mixed and
ground into the color of the picture.
When the multitude assembled the
people came drifting in granular cur
rents along the narrow avenues. Tur-
Their along they closed upon each other
in the steady push forward until it was

the series OF ceremonies. Wednesday
nights grand ball at the Auditorium
was notable event, but the partici-
pants were confined to the upper ten in
official and social life, for Governors,
Legislators and diplomats; Thursday
nights military ball was for the same
Glasses. Fridays military parade was
confined principally to the limits of the
fair grounds, to which admission could
be had only by card OF invitation. But
Thursdays show was wide open to
whoever could get point from which
to see. The bootblack and roustabout,
or the laborer, was as free as the mill
lionaire or pet OF society.

IN motion the mighty column OF nearly
a hundred thousand opened an event
that will 60 ringing down the ages as
the most brilliant page inthe history of
great and prosperous nation. No such
multitude as surged through the
streets has Chicago ever before seen.
Political conventions with their crowds
and clamor were left far behind, and
the scene on the downtown thorough
fares as the great parade moved off will
be long remembered alike by Chicago
ans and by the visitors who thronged
the city.
1t was close to tho noon hour when
the vanguard OF stalwart policemen
spurred their restless horses and
wheeled into line. General Miles and
his brilliantly uniformed military aids,
and the more brilliantly attired civilians
OF his staff. came into view, and pres
emily the advance guard of that vast
army Of 100000 men was in motion.
Everywhere along the line OF march the
organizations making tho most
striking displays were greeted with
enthusiastic cheering. Though the
sun had hid himself behind a
bank of clouds, and the sky looked down
with lowering face upon the moving
display OF animation and colors, moth
ing could damp the ardor Of the crowd,
and nothing that was worthy escaped
their notice. From the grand stand on
the Adams street front of the Govern
ment Building, Vice President Levi Z.
Morton, the members OF tho Cabinet,
the Supreme Court, and diplomates from
all the nations OF the earth witnessed
the grand civic parade as it passed in
review. In the streets there was q mob:

The days exercises began with q
salute OF twenty-one gums on the Lake
Front.
At 9:15 o'clock the dedleatory parade
was started Gen. Miles and his staff
came down the boulevard at the head
OF glittering company OF United States
troops. The even lines OF yellow
plumes rising and falling in unison, the
steady trot of the horses. the quietncss
and precision OF every movement, was
revelation to spectators unused 10
military pageants.
The staff OF Gen. Miles was followed
by the mounted band. Then came troop
after troop OF cavalry, presenting solid
line twelve deep, extending from curb
to curb. Three troops OF white cavalry,
with tanned and bearded faces; troop
of Indian cavalry, copper-colored and
eXpressionless, and troop OF colored
cavalry, black and smiling-that is The
way they came.
After the cavalry was another mount
ed band. and then appeared artillery
men, who ratified over the uneven cedar
blocks about 18th street at a smart trot.
The regular artillery were followed by
u bate of the National Guard. The
volunteer boys were not so smart as the
regulars. but they looked very business
like and full of powder.
The escort was not yet finished, FOR
smoothly and silently came a troop
mounted on whees-the Toledo cadets.
The people gave the sixty men q cheer
as they passed, which seemed well de-
served, for their soldierly appearance
and the even manner in which they
handled their iron steeds were very
noticeable.
The brilliant escort which had passed
was mono too brilliant for the array OF
power, wealth, intellect which was
now to follow, when the Governors OF
the country and the men who have
directed the affairs OF the Exposition
rode and drove in public parade to the
dedication OF the Worlds Fair
First in the line OF carr ages which
resentative OF the Government OF the
United States, Vice President Morton,
and escort. In company with the Vice
President were President Palmer OF the
National Worlds Fair Commission and
ex-President Baker Of the Worlds Fair.
Then followed the Governors OF the
different States and other notables. with
their aids and attendants, the whole
making a glittering and imposing spec
tacle that will be remembered as long
as the dedication ceremonies shall hold
a place in history. The parade marched
down the gayly decorated boulevard TO
Washington Park, where the military
review occurred.
