The principal celebration of the ,ay was in the hands of the Union eague club, which has for many ,,aors made feature of patriotic exer- .,ses on February 22. Tn the morn
 inp exercises were held in the Audi torium under the auspices of the club !. which President John H. Finley of #.ho College of the City of New York. Ewas the principal speaker.

 Ex.President Grover Cleveland was E Inc orator of the day at the celebra- #tion of the anniversary of the birth George Washington which is an &nually held under the auspices of the &Irnjon League club of this city. MT Cleveland addressed an audi once which filled the great Auditor linn. and his oration was greeted with every manifestation of approval. He dwplt less upon the history and achievements of Washington than knnon the soundness of his political faith, and the accuracy of his economic wisdom. The prosper Eity of the country will bs, according to the speaker, unbounded and imper- Eishable if the precepts of Washington are actively recalled, and In general closely followed
 Americans, are as a rule, MT. Cleve- Il Hand declared. too prone to lose sight of the significance of the proper ob- seryance of public holidays. The Fourth of July, he asserted, has de generated to a revel of senseless noise and dangerous explosion, which bears in It's train far more of mishap and accident than lessons of good citizen |ship or pride of country.
 The republic still has, he said, i'm perative need of Washington, and his example and teachings are as import ant to the present generation, as his labors and guidance were necessary | in his own time.
