NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The militar
and civic parade of today capped the
climax of the most successful series of
consecutive public demonstrations in the
nations history.
The governors of five great states,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
connecticut and Massachusetts,, two ex-
Presidents of the United States,
Hayes and Cleveland - the en-
tire state national guard of New York
and powerful provisional brigades fiOn
( Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New
Jersey; strong forces of United States
troops and blue jackets, reinforced by a
majestic civic parade, all combined to do
honor to the occasion.
Humanity Pouring In.
How much longer this fever of excite
ment could be kept up without public
danger might be asked. if these demon
s strations were to continue. 1t seemed
yesterday as if the city never had been
so full of strangers before yet they have
continued to pour in. All the railroads
connecting with distant points, the
Pennsylvania, New York Central, Erie,
Delaware, Lackawanna q Western, New
. Jersey Central and West Shore roads
were taxed to their full capacity, and
. had to run their trains in sections. But
. good order and good humor everywhere
. pre- vailed.
Many Distinguished Visitors.
Distinguished strangers are plentiful
+ as blackberries in August. Without
. referring to those enumerated elsewhere
f as participating in the parade, among
f those who viewed the proceedings from
dlnerent points HionB NJ route we're
4 Mrs. Z. 5. Grant, Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs.
A George B. Mcclellan, Secretaries Foster,

4 l'ies Rusk and Noble, the Italian minis

The saving often ascribed to the duke
Of Wellington that it required military
genius to march 10, 900 men through the
gates Of Hyde Park. London, and march
them out again without a hitch, was
illustrated in the elaborate arrangements
made for the mastering Of the immense
host today. The order of procession be-
ing reversed from that followed on Mon
day and Tuesday and the parade begin
ming down town and marching up, in
