in Gigantic Procession.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Last night society set
the glitteriug seal of her approval upon the
Worlds Fair. To-day 1t was the turn of
the people to express appreciation. ana they
did il in a manner that will become histor-
ical. or Chicago's population one in twenty
marched in the parade; the other nineteen,
reinforced by half million visitors, packed
the streets, perched on roofs and window
stills and damned the various stands along
the line of march.
A gigantic procession to the number of
1900 people passed through the streets
without delay, always moving swiftly.
The crowd that witnessed the procession
was something astounding. Chicago at
different times has handled throngs of vsi-
tors, but this one was beyond anything she
has ever dealt with before.
1t is estimated that at least 1850, 600
people viewed the parade, and after 1t was
over a majority of the downtown restau-
rants were compelled to close their doors
until they could attend to those who had
already gained admittance.
In main, however, Chicago was equal TO
the occasion. Naturally there were some
accidents. fainting women and children
trampled upon, and here and there man
dropping from a roof. The parade was
handled In a perfect manner and was per-
mltted to finish the march without hfn-
dTance, owing to the efficiency of the police.
