Chicago Day.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1O.-At day break there
were scores of people about the gate.
of the worlds fair grounds, and when
the ticket takers went to their place:
the scores had grown to thousands. Al
morning at all the entrances it wa:
next to impossible to gain admission
so dense was the crowd. 1t is thought
400, 600 paid for admission.
1t was 10 o'clock when the Chicago
hussars, under command of Capt
Brand, entered the grounds at the west
end of Midway. AS the company made
tour of the grounds, Battery D, under
the direction of Lieut., Russell, was fir.
ing a salute on the lake front. Flank
ing the grand basin and stationed on
the peristyle, administration, manufact-
ures, and agricultural buildings, trum-
peters in heralds' uniform played a
short fanfare of peace, and then in uni
son, "Peace on earth, good will to
men"
Combined bands numbering several
hundred musicians, played the air OF
''All Nations" 1t was grand specta-
Gle The height of enthusiasm was
reached, however, when chorus of
1000 voices under the direction of Prof
Tomlins, sang 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The refrain was taken up by
thousands of people, and as the sing
ers executed the notes the united
bands swelled the volume to an
extent rarely heard. Then the
choir sang southern airs includ-
ing "Dixie Land Maryland" and
] 'Kentucky home" columbia Gem
| of the Ocean was then sung, and the
united bands marched from the grand
piazza to the west entrance of the adj
ministration building. Here eight hun
dred voices, directed by Prof. Tomlins
sang "Die Yacht Am Rhein," 1.-THE
Marseillaise" and other airs The
morning exercises were closed by an
exhibition drill in the stock pavilion
by the Chicago hussars.
The court of honor presented an inn
posing scene in the afternoon. There
was a grand reunion of states repre-
sented by youths and maidens, all at
tired in appropriate costumes, symbolic
of the states which they represented.
Chicago's guard of honor was COM
prised of youths representing the thir-
ty-four wards of the city, each bear
ing huge shield on which was in
scribed the word ''Welcome. Follow
ing them were thirteen pretty misses,
representing the thirteen original
states of the Union. They carried
state shields and olive branches and
each wore crown which was sur
mounted by a large gilt star. Then
followed the different states of the
union with shields on which were the
name and motto of the state and the
day of its admission to the union.
Flags, sheaves of wheat and flowers
galore were carried by the children.
Chicago in Her Growth Welcoming
the World, was the title of the night
pageant in cele of Chicago day.
The sentiment portrayed in the parade
was the growth of Chicago from the
time of the first white settlement to
the present period. Eight floats were
designed and prepared under direction
of special committee appointed by
the city council of Chicago. The first
seven of these embodied all stages of ad-
vancement made by the city from 1912
to 1898. Each event that stands forth
was made chapter in the spectacular
array.
