CHICAGO, Oct 20.-Last night society set
the glittering seal of her approval upon
the Worlds fair Today it was the turn
OF the people to express their appreciation.
and they did it in a manner that will be-
come historical Of Chicago's population,
as everyone in twenty marched in the
parade the other nineteen, reinforced by
half g million visitors packed the streets,
perched on window sills and jammed the
various stands along the line OF march
The gigantic procession, to the number
Of 10000 people, passed through the
streets without delay, always moving
swiftly. The crowd that Witnessed
the procession was something astound-
ing. Chicago at different times has
handled throngs OF visitors, but this
one is beyond all others she ever dealt
with before. 1t is estimated that at least
|, 100000 people viewed the parade, and
after it was over the majority Of the down
town restaurants were compelled TO close
their doors until they could attend TO those
who mad already gained admittance. In
the main, however, Chicago was equal 10
the occasion.
Naturally some accidents occurred.
There were a few fsinting women, some
children were trsmpled upon, and here
and there man dropping from some roof.
That the parade was handled in so perfect
a manner and permitted TO finish the
march without hindrance was due 70 Chi
cago's efficient police force.
Although the parade was scheduled to
start at 10 40 am, 1t was almost II 30
when Chief of Police McClaughrey saluted
Vice-Pr resident Morton, who reviewed the
parade on the tastefully decorated stand.
where he was surrounded by members OF
the cabinet different legations, and
throng of brilliantly dressed ladies accom-
panied by distinguished guests AS the
different governors passed the reviewing
stand some on horseback others IN car
riages, each was greeted with succession
of cheers, which kept him bowling many
minutes.
The crowd was impartial in politics and
yelled as Justify for Flower Of New York
as it did for Mckinley of Ohio. After the
dignitsries passed came the rank and file
of the parade and with formation ten
files in length, In double rank, they moved
like a human wave past the reviewers
stand for nearly three hours.
As each body passed by the federal build
ing it was greeted by thousand little girls
arranged in shape and draped in the colors
of the American flag. Each little tot car
ried ia her hand o dinlnutive banner and
as the sweet childish voices rose 10 cheer
martial men the little pieces of bunting
fiuttered wildly. II was beautiful sight.
The Indian boys from the school at Car
Isle, Pa, aroused enthusiastic cheers as
they passed. Then came the German Turn
ers, followed by brawny Scots, after which
were the Polish aud Swedish societies,
seemingly without limit; Sons of st.
George, Sons of st. Patrick, Sons of Carl
baldi, and various and sundry other ranks
OF sons followed in quick succession. Tne
Foresters, seemingly without limit, and in
dependent and Catholic orders were out in
full force.
The weather was admirable for the par
ade and the sun shone brightly during the
early morning, but later the sky became
overcast and to a man who stood hour
sitter hour the fresh northern breeze was a
trife uncomfortable.
