Gorgeous Eirework 5.

On Friday night the dedicatory exer-
cises of the Chicago fair building closed
with the most gore eous display of fire.
works ever given in the world. To
avoid the concentration of mass of
people this display was divided into
three parts and given in as many parts
of the city. The programmes were
identical. The display was given in
Washington park on the south side,
Garfield Park on the west side and Lin
coin Park OH the north. The largest
crowd congregated at Washington Park
which was the most accessible from the
heart OF the city, but it is estimated
that no less than 100000 people saw
each of these displays.
The display opened with salute Of
100 ffteen-inch aerial maroons which
exploded at an altitude of 500 feet and
sent a shower of fire back to the earth.
As this died away each park sudden
ly blazed forth in magical illumina-
ton from five hundred prismatic
lights fired by electricity, changing
colors five times and throwing over the
trees the tints of the national colors
and the newly adopted municipal terra
Gotta Then 500 5-pound rockets rushed
to the skies from each of the three parks,
blending with the various tints in the
heavens. From time to time the parks
were brilliantly illuminated with col
ored fires in generous quantities.
One of the crowning features of the
marvellous display was the magnificent
Columbian bouquet made by the flight
of15,0 rockets, 5000 at the same mo-
ment from each of the three parks.
This is the largest flight of rockets
known in the history OF the world, and
It's beauty cannot be fully described in
words. For two minutes the effect
was seen in every part of the city and
for miles around it. The heavens were
turned into q sea Of fire in every color
of the rainbow and formed the most
gorgeous canopy that ever clothed any
city on either continent.
In each of the parks five bombshells
sixty inches in circumference and
weighing 10 pounds were thrown from
mortars 10 an altitude of seven hun
dred feet, where they exploded, form
ing a picture of marvellous grandeur.
The set pieces were of a character that
brought out a wealth Of enthusiasm
from the great assemblage. The first
occupied two thousand square feet of
space and bore the inscription in fire:
'Chicago welcomes the nations Of the
eartb-l492, 1892
This inscription was supported by
two American eagles, above which
were brought out the outlines of the
various worlds fair buildings. Then
set piece with an area of 2,500 square
feet represented in fire the sailing of
Columbus from Palos, and illustrating
his feet, the Pinta, Santa Maria and
Nina.
Niagara Falls was also given in fire,
presenting a cataract 600 feet in length
of golden spray and forming an effect
never before cqualled. There were also
many other devices and designs, and
when 10 o'clock had passed the most
elaborate fireworks display that was
ever burned closed with the great Co
lumbian bouquet of $4,000 rockets.
