Cook County insane asylum was re
moved to-day. A post mortem exam

two ribs broken, his breast bone
smashed, and had suffered nameless
injuries apparently from a series of
kicks. Burns is the man who was the
room-mate at the institution of u re
porter who had ga ned access to the
asylum by feigning insanity. He re
peatedly saw the attendants as they
through sheer brutality attacked not
only Burns, but numbers of otiier pa

Trenton, N. J., April 29. —The first
faint gray streaks of dawn were visible
as the presidential train drew to a stop
at West Philadelphia, where a change
of engines was made, and the first stop
of any consequence was made. The
rain, which it was hoped had been left
behind, was present, making the open
ing of the day nasty and disagreeable.
It had been ever present, as a few drops
had been noticed before the train lelt
Washington, but the hope had been in
dulged in that it was only a passing April
shower and that its presence was only
temporary.
At West Philadelphia there were in
waiting for the train, Postmaster-Gen
eral Wanamnker anil secretary, who
were given seats aboard while the en
gines were changed.
All along tlie line there were early
risers who ran out to greet the train, but
they contented themselves as far as
con'd be seen by merely gazing at it as
it sped by. At Tac >uy the
first display of organized interest
was shown. On the green in
front of the railroad station was
gathered a crowd of probably 100 per
sons, and as the President’s car in the
rear of the train passed, the executive
salute of thirteen guns was begun. At
about this time it was noticed that the
clouds had broken away in the west,
and through the opalescent tints of the
morning sky gleamed the promise of a
fair day.
Ei.izaheth. N. .1., April 20.—The train
drew up ai Ml zabcth at 0 o’clock in the
midst of a concourse of people that
filled the station platform and the space
adjoining. They were, of course, anx
ious for a glance at the Chief Magistrate,
hut seemed to realize the probability
that he had not yet awakened. This
was the condition of things, and the
crowd were disappointed in their desire
to see him. While the train halted
at Trenton the private car of
Gen. Sewell, vise-president of the
West Jersey Railroad, carrying the
official parly of the state and guests,
wasattached, and lue train then started
for Elizabeth. The party on the train
consisted of the following persons:
Gov. Green, Gen. Sewell, Gen. Stryker,
mem here ot the Mew Jersey Centennial
committee; Rev. Dr. llamill, Col.
Stockton, Mr. Green, Gen. ikrubb, Col.
Donne ly, Capt. Skirm, the legislative
committee, Senator Crammer, Col.
Chambers, Mrs. Sewell, .Mrs. Stryker,
Mrs. Bannard, Mrs. Lee, Miss Sewell,
Miss Warren, Mi.-s Sarah Sewell, Miss
lleyl, Robert Sewell, W. J. Sewell, Jr.,
Senator Cottrell and Mr. Bet
tie. Gov. Green, Gen. Sewell
and Gen. Stryker were taken
at once to President Harrison’s
car, but lie was not yet up, and they re
tired to Private Secretary Halford’s car,
the next in front to await his arising.
The unavoidable noise awakened the
occupants of the President’s car, and in
a shoit time they were all astir. Jn the
meantime bnaklast was beiugserved to
the passengers aboard the train, who
were aot expecting to bf entertained at
Elizabeth. The arrangements for this
part of the service as for all other feat
ures of the trip were perfect, and every
one w as served before the train reached
Elizabeth port.
Tlie breakfast party from the train
was to consist ot President Harrison,
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKee, and Chief
Justice and Mrs. Puller, but in the
bustle and con nsion incident to the oc
casion the Chief Justice and Ins wife,
who were in the car England in the
middle of the train, some distance from
that of the President, wa re overlooked
by the committee and the party drove
off without them. Just as the justice
had concluded to accept the hospitality
of the railroad company to breakfast.
Lieut. Judson came tearing back alter
him and took him away to Gov. Green’s
residence.
The governor’s house and grounds
were elaborately decorated. The break
last was eaten at a round table in the
large dinning room. Mrs. Green sat at
the head ot the table with President
Harrison on her right : nd Vice-Presi
dent Morton on her left. Mrs. Harri
son sat at Gov. Green’s right and Mrs.
Morton at his left. The others at the
table were Chief Justice Puller and
Mrs. Fuller; Gov. Beaver, of Pennsyl
vania, and Mrs. Beaver; Gov. Lee, of
Virginia, and Mrs. Lee; Mr. and Mrs.
McKee, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison,
Gen. Win. J. Sewell and Mrs. Sewell,
Justice Bradley and Mrs. Bradley, Jus
tice Blatchford and Mrs. Blatchford,
and Justice Field and Mrs. Field.
Alter the breakfast, Gov. Green and
Mrs. Green, President Harrison and
Mrs. Harrison and Vice-President Mor
ton and Mrs. Morton received the dis
tinguished men of the state and promi
nent citizens. Col. Robert S. Green,
Jr., made the in'reductions, assisted by
Col. C. C. Snydam, of Elizabeth, and
(has. ( . Park hurst and John Lawrence
Boggs, of Newark. The reception was
held in the parlor, and lasted Ircm S;3U
to 9 o’clock.
While the breakfast and reception
were in progress the procession was
forming. It was in seven divisions,
comprising the Third Regiment, New
Jersey National Guard, Hr ke’s Veteran
Zouaves, with the Chicago Zouaves as
tin ir guests; thirty-six G. A. R. Posts,
Odd fellows, uniformed Knights of
Pythias and other civic societies, the fire
department, a division of agriculturists
and ol colored troops.
Immediately aftei the reception came
the ri v.ew of the procession by the
presidential party. The stand’ was
erected on the ground with an entrance
from the house lor the presidential
party. There were 500 chairs on the
stand, and all were occupied when the
Presi lent, Vice-President, Gov. Green
and their company appeared. There
weie tx-governors, legislators, state of
ficers, members of historical societies,
old citizens and the centennial
committee of 150 prominent citizens.
The stand was decorated with tings
and hunting and presented a pretty
picture. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Morton.
Mrs. Green and other ladies were in the
presidential party.
After reviewing the parade President
Harris..u was then driven in an open
barouche along the shore of the Kill
\on Kill to the Alcyone boat-house,
wheie the entire party was reunited,
where a ten-oared gig from the
Dispatch was in waiting to take
the president aboard. Owing to
the low water, the Dispdch
had been lorced to anchor at some di--
tance. The President walked down to
the float, followed by Vice-President
Morton and Capt. Elben. They took
their seats in the gig amid the cheers of
the assembled crowds, the shrieks of
ste?m whistles and ringing of beds.
The gig then put off and the measured
strokes of the sailors soon brought them
alongside the Dispatch. The rest of t e
party, including Mrs. Harrison and Mrs
McKee, went on board the Sinus. At
11:10 both vessels weighed anchor and
Steamed up the bay.
New York, April 29. —New Yorkers
scarcely knew their own city to-dav.
ITie resilient is crowded to the wall,
and is glad of it. He welcomes all
strangers. Everybody genially greets
every other body. The spirit of the
occasion, and the democratic impulses
of a 100-year-old republic were with
and upon each, and pervaded
all places. The atmosphere was
Hie chilliest feature ot the early day.
And then the decoration, the hunt
ing, the flags, the banners, the little ef
fort at display, the big expenditure lor
artistic draping—all born of one senti
ment and carried forward with one pur
pose! The clocks in the city steeples
had not finished the stroke of 12 mid
night w hen the ring of hammers and
the wheeze of the carpenter’s saw was
heard in the squares where uncom
pleted stands were to be finished.
And along the avenues and streets
t! ere was the beginning of adorn
ment of buildings lor the day. The
poor and the rich alike. The one put
out the poor little print banner, the
bi st he could afford, but just as loyal;
while the other spread forth a wealth of
rich bunting and silk. But in both in
stances the color was the same. The
same banner, America’s emblem for an
hundred years.
It was 11:15 when the start of the Dis
patch, bearing the | residential party, on
her trip up the Kills, was announced by
guns rom Port Richmond, and it was
alter 12 o’clock when she came in sight
in the upper l ay. For several minutes
the roar of cannon as she passed
the several men-of-war was almost deaf
ening, each of these, together with the
forts in the harbor, firing the national
salute. Tito bay was crowded with
small boats, vessels of every descrip
tion. so that from a distance, a glimpse
of clear water was practically impossi
ble.
The scene wps a stirring one.
Faintly above the roar of the cannon
could be heard the shrill pipe of the
boatswain whistles on the revenue cut
ters. yachts and men-of-war. lu a trice
sturdy stars manned the yards arid cross
trees, and with heads uncovered gave
hearty American cheers as Cm Dispatch
steamed slowly by. The officers stood
with uncovered heads.
As the Dispatch came opposite the
flagships of the different squadrons, the
latter, one on each side, steamed out and
accompanied the war-ship the length
of the squadron. Then colors were
dipped and a deafening screech of steam
whistles was blown. As the Dispatch
came opposite the Chicago the entire
fleet ot over 404 steamers blew their
whistles. She passed the battery at
12:20. It made a tremendous din,
coupled with the incessant gun-tiring,
and was kept up for three or four min
utes, although the scheduled limit was
only half a minute.
On went the stately warship up
through the channel ami into the East
River, w here she came lo anchor oil the
foot of Wall Street. As soon as she had
got welt into the rivera signal gun was
tired troin the ( hicago, and anchors that
had been hove up short were got on
hoard with alacrity. Then began the
naval parade.
This was in command of Ad
miral D. I). Porter. Rear Admiral
James E. Jonett was chief of staff and
marshal of the day, assisted by Capt.
Clias.S. Norton, U. S, N.; Commander
W. Bridgeman, U. S. N.; Lieut.-Cora.
A. S. Snow, U. S. N.; Capt. L. N. Stod
<l ard, U. .8. R. M.; Aaron Vanderbilt,
late U. S. N.; representatives from
yacht clubs and shipping companies;
Vice-Commander Robert Center, Za
war.haca Club; (1. W. Hall, American
Yacht Club; Com. C. W. Loweray,
Larchmont Yacht Club; T. S. Cameron,
(flyde Lit e; Capt. J. M. Lochlan, U. S.
& B. Line; G. McCullough Miller, P. &
S. Lit e; L. H. Lowell, Fall River Line,
and W. W. Everett, Peoples’ Fine.
The merchant marine column was
commanded by Vice-Admiral C, W,
Wools; y, llttgshtp steamer Bergen. In
this column were over 400 vessels, vary
ng in size Irom tlie tug and lighters
.o the large passenger and freight
steamers.
The sight of hundreds of vessels of all
kinds was one that will long b3 remem
bered by the thousands ot people who
lined the docks and housetops along
the river-front of the Hudson. Almost
every steamer of any size had a band of
music aboard, and the number and
variety of airs that floated ashore on ttie
hazy air were something remarkable.
'i he Chicago, now accompanying the
Presidential boat steamed on until op
posite Thirty-fourth Street, when an
other gun was fired. This was the sig
nal for tlie yachts ami cutters to dis
perse, and hke a huge flock of swans
they gracefully heeled around and sped
down the bay to their various anchor
ages. Then the naval vessels came to
anchor off Fifty-first Street. Meanwhile
the merchant division was doing
the grand on the East River,
both divisions combining into
one. Led by the Bergen they steamed
up the river, a literal mass of bunting
uml flags.
The flagship turned a stakeboat just
below the rocks at Hunter’s Point and
then came down the west side of tlie
river, round the Battery and up the
east side ot t ho Hudson, ane the parade
was ended.
On the arrival of the Dispatch
and the President opposite Wall
Street ferry, the ships that took
part in the review came to anchor.
A barge manned by a crew of ship
ma-ters from the marine nrciety
of the port of New Y’ork. It was a crew
of this same society which rowed Gen.
Washington ashore 100 years ago. Follow
ing the example of Washington. Presi
dent Harrison was rowed ashore in the
barge. As he stepped out of the boat
the presidential saiute of twenty-one
guns was again given. The President
was received by Gov. Hill. Mayor Grant,
Hamilton Fish and William F. Hamil
ton.
After the landing, procession was at
once formed, the President and Gov.
Hill and Mayor Grant being driven in a
landau and accompanied by continuous
cheers. The old banner of the Marine
Society which was borne before Wash
ington on April 29, 1789, has been pre
served for BX) years, and was to day
carried before the President’s carriage
up Wall street. The banner which is
about five feet square was originally of
silk which is now a faded yellow. Th
name of the society in gold and blue
letters is still as bright as ever.
The escort to the President was as
follows; Batteries A., C. and L., United
Elates Artillery; Veteran Corps, Seventh
Regiment; Delegation Society of the
Cincinnati, Delegation of the" Revolu
tion. delegation G. A. R. commanders
and members of the military order ol
the Loyal Legion.
The throng that endeavored to gain
admittance to the League Club, where
the reception was held, was vastly
greater than the committee had antici
pated. The arrangements, however,
were admirable, and, beyond a disa
greeable crush in the lower corridors,
There was neither disorder nor
confusion. The number of dis
tinguished persons who attended
the reception was not so great
as might have been expected, many of
those who had been fortunate enough
to ob:ain ti. kets to the banquet to-m r
row night preferring to wait until then
to see the President at short range.
The members of the down town basi-
SUPEHIOK, WISCONSIN, SATURDAY, MAY 4. ISSO.
ress men’s Republican Club and mem
bers ot tlie Lawyers’ Club were among
tiie first arrivals.
At a little before 3 o’clock the carria
ges containing tire President, Gov. Hill,
Mayor Grant and Hamiltion Fish drew
up before tiie door of the Equitable
Building. Chairman Hamilton, of the
committee on states, received those in
the carriages, w hile the chimes of Old
Trinity played the doxology, the hands
in the street quickly catching tip the
strain. By 3 o’clock till had reached
ho banquet hall. Fix-President Cleve
land was not present, and his seat be
side ex-President Hayes, was filled by
CTumnoey M. Dopew.
In proposing the tin* toast of the day,
William G. Hamilton, chairman of the
committee on stales, spoke as follows:
Mr I’residf.nt; An chairman or the commit
tee on states, 1 have the honor lo present to you
in ti e name of the gr ncral committee of the eeu
teiitenuiHl ceiebrniion of the inauguration of
George Washington a* first president ot Iho
United Stairs, a touvenir of ibis au
spicious occasion. Wo have gathered with
us the n,om honored representative
eii zon* from the varir and pursuits ot life, which
have made this nation what it Is at the present
moment, religion, law, science, art and com
merce—al! striving to do honor to tire name of
Washington. So beloved is ho by all Americans
that we rail him -fallier' to deified and sa-.c
tified iu onr hearts that but one other binhday
is .-acted to us.
Mr. President, tfctl your administration may
be so w isely ordered that you may Ire known as
the one equally honored by all Americans is ibe
wish of this united nation.
Gentlemen, you will please till vour glft-sses
and drink to the memory ol Geotge Washington,
the father ol iris country.
The souvenir consisted of six beauti
fully engraved cards tied with yellow
ami blue ribbons. On tiie first one was
an embossed picture of Washington; on
the second an engraving showing his
landing in New Y'ork iu 1789; on the
tiiird a picture ot St. Paul’s Chapel in
17s I .', portraits ot Bishop Provost, Chan
cellor Livingston, and the various
members of tiie Legislature. The
foil it ii page had an engraving of Fed
eral Hall and statistics of the period,
tiie fifth page had portraits of President
Harrison, Govs. Clinton and Hill, May
ors Duane aud Grant. The sixth page
hears an engraving of the Equitable
Building and Washington’s house in
Cherry Street, as well ns tiie menu
of the luncheon. President Harri
son was introduced to the guests
at the banquet table by Hamilton Fish.
President Harrison merely bowed in
recognition of Mr. Fish’s remarks, and
this ended the formal reception, the
guests almost immediately taking their
departure, though in this they were
somewhat impeded by tiie enormous
crowds in the building.
The reception at the Lawyers’ Club
r.aa finished at 3:45 p. m. and tire Presi
dent and iris escort started up Broad
way amid the cheers of the thousands
why filled every available foot of room.
in the minds of many of those vho
are thronging New York in these days
of celebration, tire greatest feature of
all is tiie grand centennial ball whit h
took place at the Metropolitan Opera
House to-night. All that money could
do to carry out the immense scheme
that was to give a night of pleasure
to 0,000 people was done, and the result
attained was satisfactory. There was
certainly Httle to be wished for in point
of attendance, unless indeed one might
have wished, from selfish motives, that
half tiro people had stayed at home,
and yet it was, taken all in
all, a night-long exemplification of tiie
oid adage, “The more the merrier.”
The carriages began to roll up to the
Broadway entrance soon after 8 o’clock,
though the trail was put down on tire
programme for 9. and by 9:30 there
were quite enough people in tiie corri
dors of the great building to have put
many a pretentious hall to the blush.
The presidential box was the center
one of the double tier erected at the
hack of the stage. Tire front was almost
covered palms, with a large American
eagle, in the center, surmounted by tlie
words “Washington 1789 and 188") ’ in
colored electric lights. The whole
front of both tiers was curtained with
silk flags ami decorated with groups
of standards and great masses of flow
ers.
Among the families represented in
this great concourse of expectant peo
ple were those of the following box
holders: William Aster, Ogden Goelet,
William .T. Hamilton, t hauncey M.
Depew, Elhridge T. Gerry, Stuyvesant
Fish, Robert C. Winthrop, Abram
S. Hewitt, Hamilton Fish, Clar
ence A. Seward, Ward McAllister,
Henry Clews, William Jay, Robert
Goelet, William M. Astor, Levi P. Mor
ton, Stephen B. Elkins, Mrs. Par ah
Stevens, Fred’a .1. DePuyster, Robert
L. Cutting, Cornelius N. Bliss, Brayton
Ives and John A. King. Conspicuous
among those on the floor early in the
evening we-e the conspicuously badged
floor committee, about fifty iu number.
The supper room is one of great pro
portions. Beginning at the Broadway
end of the temporary structure erected
in Ihirty-uinth Street, it runs all the
way through to Seventh Avenue and up
to Fortieth Street, forming two sides of
a triangle. It makes up a supper hal!
45 feet wide and 475 feet long, with ac
commodation for 6,000 people at one
time. The sides of this structure were
lined with cheese-colored bunting and
as beautifully decorated as any other
part of the opera house.
At exactly 10:45 a blare of trumpets
was sounded and Mayor Grant otlering
h s arm to the President began the walk
between the lines of artillerymen, Next
came Vice-President Mortal with Mrs.
Harrison on his arm, and they were
followed by Gov. Hill and Mrs.
Morton. Then came tire other
members of the President’s par
ly. As they all moved between
the walls of humanity that pressed
close on either side, cheer after cheer
went up and almost drowned the noise
of the trumpets. Arrived at the spe
cial boxes on the stage the president
turned about and was formally pre
sented to the members of the com
mittee. The strains of “Hail to the
Chief” ceased, and the reception was
at an end. The president ushered
Mrs. Harrison into the box set apart fur
them. Vice-President Morton and Mis.
Morton also entered the box, as did Mr.
and Mrs. Russell Harrison. The rest of
the party were disposed of in the other
special boxes, and ail was then in read
iness tor the great quadrille.
At 11 o’clock the orchestra struck up
the “St ir Spangled Banner,’’ ami the
(iance began. It was not a rapid dance.
It was sedate in the extreme. Senator
Aldrich smiled on his mariner, but
otherwise there was as much solemnity
about the affair as if it had been the
most serious business on earth. The
President busied himself looking at the
brilliant scene in the boxes, and paid
but I.ttle attention, to the dancers.
As the presidential party made the cir
cuit of the ball-room, Mrs. Harrison, of
course, attracted much attention. She
looked well and happy. Her dress was
of heavy gros-grain, cut with a princess©
train. The waist wastrimmed with pearl
and silver, the corsage being filled with
gauze held in place with ostrich feathers
as was also the skirt. The trout embroi
dery of the skirt was in a Grecian key
pattern, worked in silver and pear!?,
meeting panels ot silver brocade and
feathers, and a shower of silver orna
ments ieli from the skirt.
Tue most notable figure in the quad
rille was Mr>. Levi P. Morton, the wife
of the vice-president. Her costume wa,
of heavy white brocade silk, the design
being very ancient. Clusters bt
\ /I I PvWiiiiMß
pinks and wild strawberries were
Halt bidden behind festoons of
blue fringed with yellow inter
woven in tne material. The empire
coat fronts were of liiae silk falling over
princess© front of white crepe tie lts.se.
The corsage was oft be brocade, trimmed
with lilac, broad sash ends of the lilac
silk being fastened to the back.
Next to Mrs. Morton, no one perhaps
attracted more attention than Mrs.
N\ dliatu Astor, and it was probably the
value and brilliancy of her diamonds
that formed tire b sis of the attraction.
idie crowd on the lioor was eo great
at the conclu-ion of tlie opening quad
rille that it was at once seen that it
would be useless to try and get on with
dancing, eo the orchestras pHved
promenade music, and people moved
about as best they could. At mid
night tiie presidential party led the wav
to the supper rooms, and tire onslaught
then began. This exodus made a
little room on the floor, and tlie dancing
then began. At tirst there was room
fur but a few couples, but the number
gradually increased, and by the time
the President had 1- ft the supper table,
dancing was in lull swing, and he slip
ped away quietly to get part oi a night's
rest.
TUE VOW OF WASHINGTON.
BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITT I Fit.
(Komi in New York, April :n), igv.r, at tire Centen
uitil Ceiebrniion oi the Inauguration of
George Washington as the first
President of the United
States.]
The sword was sheathed: in April’s sun
l ay grteu the fields by Freedom won;
And severed sections, weary of debates.
Joined hands at last and were United Bta'et.
O. city sitting by the sea !
How proud the day that dawned on thee,
Win n the new era, long desired, b- gan.
Aud, in its need, the hour had found the manl
One thonght the cannon salvos spoke;
The resonant hell tower's vibrant stroke,
The voiceful streets, Hie plaudit-echoing halls,
Aud prayer arid hymn home heavenward from
Bt. Rant's I
How fell the land In every part
The strong throb ol a nation’s heart.
As its great leader gave, with reverent awe,
it is pledge to Union, Liberty and Law 1
That pledge the heavens above him heard,
That vow the sleep ol ct nturles stirred;
,n world wide wonder listening peoples bent
Their gaze on Freedom’s gnat experiment.
Could it succeed ? Of honor soid
t nd hopes deceived all history told.
Above tt.e wrecks that strewed the mournful
past.
Was the long dream ol ages true at last?
Thank God! the people’s choice was just.
The one lean equal to Ids trust.
Wise beyond lore, and without weakness good,
Calm iu the s rength ot flawless rectitude !
His rule of justice, order, peace,
Made possible the world’s release:
Taught prince and ser! that power is but a trust.
And tule, alone, which serves the ruled, is just;
That freedom generous isbut strong
In irate of fraud and selfish wrong.
Pretense that turns her holy truths lo lies,
Aud lawless license masking in her guise.
Land of his love! with one glad voice
Let thy great sisterhood rejoice;
A century's suns o'er thee have risen and set,
And, God be praised, we are one nation yet,
Aud still, we trust, the years to be
Shall prove his hope was destiny.
Leaving our flag with nil its added stars
Unreal by taction and unstained by wars!
Ixr! where with patient toil he nursed
And trained the new set plant at first.
The widening branches of a stately tr. e
-dietch from the sunrise to the sunset sea.
And in its broad and sheltering shade,
Sitting with none to make afraid,
Were we now silent, through each mighty limb,
The winds o! heaven would sing tire praise of
him.
Our first and best!—his ashes lie
Beneath his own Virginia sky.
Forgive, forget, O true and just and brave
The storm that swept above thy sacred grave!
For, ever in the awful strife
And dark hours of the nation's life.
Through the fierce tumult pierced his warning
word.
Their lather's voice his erring children heard !
Thechange for which ho prayed and sought
In that sharp agony was wrought;
No partial interest draws its alien line
’Xwixt North aud South, the cypress aud the
pine!
One people now. all doubt beyond,
His name shall be our Union-bond;
We lilt our hands to Heaven, and here and now,
lake on our lips the old Centennial vow.
For rule and trust must needs be ours;
Chooser and chosen both are powers
Equal in service as in rights; the claim
Ol Duty rests on each and all the same.
Then let the sovereign millions, where
Our banner floats in sun aud air,
From the warm palm-lands to Alaska's cold.
Repeat with us tne pledge a century old !

A LONG OCEAN RACE.
The American Clipper Ship Paul Revere
Wins a Match Lasting 108 liays.
New York, April 30. —Early Monday
morning the ships Paul Revere, Capt.
Sewell, John McLeod, Capt. Stuart,
dropped anchor in New York Bay
within ten minutes of each other.
They had raced across the ocean from
Manilla, Philippine Islands, to New
York on a friendly bet for the beet din
ner that money could buy at Deimoni
co’s. Setting sail the same hour on New
Year’s day they began the long trip.
When southeast of Hatteras they
sighted each other for a short
time, but parted company soon
after and were within a lew miles of
Sandy Hock on tlie morning of April
29, when the American captain was
amazed to find the McLeod on bis
bows. Crowding all sail the two ships
came on “neck and neck” from tlie
harbor. Just before reaching the Nar
rows the Revere got a puli’of wind that
the McLeod missed, and was enabled
to drop anchor at quarantine ten min
utes ahead of the British ship. Thus
was won the longest and closest ocean
race on record, occupying lUB days to an
hour. _______________

known musical director, is dead. His

THE SECOND DAY
Of tho Nation's Celebration —The Great
est Military I'agnant of Modern Times
Sixty Thousand Men in Line— Litei
ary Kxereiseh on Wall Street The
I*i£ llancjiiet at the Metropolitan Op
era House.
Nt.w York, April 30. —The town woke
more Bleepilythis morning than it did
yesterday, and with go< and reason. The;
was no ieul necessity for it to get up so
early, and besides its inhabitants, per
manent as well as temporary, were
tired, the latter even more so than the
former, Ftiil the earlie-t streaks of
dawn found many people in the streets,
and these indee i were lortunate, for,
in all the range of meteorological
chance, a more perfect morning
coukl scarce have been found.
It was 100 cold, perhaps, for
those who shiver in a light wind,
but it was a morning to delight the
heart of a soldier v, ho has a long tramp
before him. The air was exhilerating iit
the extreme and the wind was sharp
enough to soon put a tinge of bloom on
the cheeks of those who laced it. Many
not already there in the i ariy hours
wended their way toward the lower end
of the city, moie resplendent than ev i
in the early morning light w ith the wind
stretching every flag and streamer taut
and snapping their folds as though in
jubilation. One of the things which at
tracted people to the Battery on this
second day was the sound cf martial
music proceeding from a band which
preceded Kiker Post, G. A. It., to the
Battery when a flag was raised w ith ap
propriate cremontes. This, however,
was not the only attraction, for, as the
sun rose the soul-inspiring strains ol
“Old Hundred” were borne on the
breeze to many listening etirs, the
chimes of old Trinity rung by Albeit
Meislahn, dr., furnishing the music.
The following programme was gone
through w ith: “Old Hundred,” “Hail
Columbia,” “Yankee Hoodie,” “Cen
tennial March,” “Columbia, the Gem of
the Ocean,” “America,” “The Starry
Hag,” “Our Flag is There,” “Anld Lang
Syne,” “My Country’s Flag of Star-.”
Asthe morning wore along the crowds
in the streets became even greater thar
they were on yesterday, and this time
the hum’ was even greater, for one and
all saw the necessity of reaching points
of vantage from which to view the pa
rade at the earliest practicable moment.
Then the sound of the bells calling the
people to thanksgiving services in the
various churches awakened people
anew to the true solemnity of the occa
sion.
New Yor:k, April 30. — Services are
held iu all the churches of the city of
every denomination, to-day, votive
masses being offered up in the Catholic
churches at which special pray
ers will be held. Asa matter
of course the principal services
were held at Sr. Paiii’s Church,
on Broadway, where Washington
attended on the morning of his inaugu
ration, and similar services wore held
in the Church of the Annunciation, the
Church of the Ascension, St. George’s
Church, the Church of the Holy Ap is
ties, St. Thomas Church, St. James
Church, and the Church of the Holy
Trinity, Harlem, nil ot the Episcopal
faith.
At St. Paul’s, the exercises were con
ducted by the Kf. Rev. Henry C. Put
ter, 1). 1)., LL. D., bishop of Mew York,
as the services on the day of Washing
ington’s inauguration were conducted
by the bishop of New York, the Kt.
Rev. Samuel Provoost. At 8 o’clock the
committee on states escorted the Presi
dent from the Fifth Avenue Hotel, ac
companied by the chief justice and
members of the cabinet, and un
der an escort of police pro
ceeded to Vice-President Morton’s
residence. The vice-president entered
President Harrison’s carriage ami Hie
procession moved down to St. Paul’s.
At the Vesey Street gate the parly was
met by the committee of the vestry ot
Trinity Church and the President wa
conducted to the Washington pew. Tin
editice was tilled with the wealthiest
and most prominent people in the
counlr}'.
One hundred years ago there knelt within
these walls u man to whom, above all others in
its his ory, this nation is indebted. An English
man by race and .image, ce incarnated in bis
own person and character every best
trait and attribute that have made the Anglo-
Saxon name a glory to its children
and a terror to its enemies through
out the But he was not so mu h
an Englishman that, when the time came lor
him to be so, he was not even more an Ameri
can: and in all that he was ami did. a patriot so
exalud, and a leader great and wise, mat what
men tailed him when he Came lit re ;
angurated as the first Prtsidcnt of the United
Slal<s the civilized world has not since then
ceased to call him—the father of his country.
Wc are here this morning to thank (loti lor so
great a gilt to this pe< pie, to commemorate the
incidents ot which this day is the onehundredtn
anniversary, and to recognize tire resoousibillties
which a century so eventful has laid upon u-.
And we are here of all oiler places, first ol all,
with pre-eminent appropriateness. I know
not how it may be with those to whom all
sacred things and places are mailers of equal
indifierence but surely to those ot us with whom
it is otherwise it cunot be without profound
and pathetic import that when the tirst p-esrdent
ol the republic had taken upon turn, by virtue of
iris solemn oath, pronounced in the sight of the
peop e, the burden ol irs chief magistracy, he
turned straightway t.. these walls, and kneeling
In yonder pew, asked God (<t strength to keep
his promise to the nation ami his oath to Him.
This was no unwonted home lo him, nor to a
large proportion or those eminent men who,
witri him, were as-ociated iu training the Consti
tution oi the-e United Stall s.
And so. with inexpressible tenderness and
reverence, we find ourselves thi king of him
hire, kneeling to ask -m Ir gills, and then rising
to go torih to in? gr< at tasks witn mem so august
and majestic that t isiier Ames, who sal beside
him in this chapel wrote, was present In tne
pe-.v with tae Presidi nl. and must assure yon
it.at, alter making all deductions for the delus
ions ot our tancy iu r.gard to character, I still
think of him with more veneration than for any
ether person.” so we think of him, 1 and
indeed it is impossible to think o herwlse
1 yield to no man in my veneration for the
men who framed the compact under which
these stales are round together. No one cp.
easily exaggerate their services or the value
thst which they wrought cut. But. after al!. •
may not forget’to-day that the thing which t Ir■
made was a dead and not a riving thing. It fad
no power to interpret itself, to apply itself, to
execute Itsc-P. splendid a“ It was in its complex
and forecasting mechanism, instinct as it was, in
one sense, with a noble wisdom, with a
large-vistomd statesmanship, with a matchless
adaptability to untried emergencies, it was, nev
ertheless. no different in another from one
of these splendid specimens of naval archl’tet
nre which throng our wharves to-day. and widen,
with every le t contrivance of human art mi 1
skill, wltli capacities of progress which newly
amazes us every day, are but as impotent, dead
matter, save as the hra:n and hand of man shall
summon at.d command them. “The ship of
state,” wo say. Tes but tt is the cool and com
petent mastery at the helm of that, as of every
other ship, which shall, under God, determine
the glory or the Ignominy of the voyage.
And to we come and kueel at this ancient and
hallowed shrine wht re once he kn-lt, and ask
that God would graciously vouchsafe them.
Here in this holy house we find the witness oi
that one luvinc hie force, which because it aionc
can rule the conscience, is destined, one day. to
rule the world. Out from airs dense and for.
with the coarse pa fion and cot rser rivalries <
sell-seeking men, we turn aside as from t:

At the close of the service at St.
Paul’s, the guest* took the carnages as
signed them, according to the arranged
programme, and moved along short
p ces at a time, till the entire hody were
seated in carriages. Broadway to Pine
-Street was kept clear, though
the walks, stoops, windows and
housetops were thronged. The proces
sion was headed hy a company ol police.
Mayor Grant sat in ttie first carriage.
President Harrison, Vice-President
Morton with Mr. Gerry and Clarence
Bowen were in the next carriage and
cheered. As the carriage containing ex-
President Cleveland and ex-President
Hayes passed the cheering was particu
larly marked, ami Channccy M. Depew
who came in a late carriage was kept busy
raising his hit,and Gen. Sherman came in
for no small share ol hurrahs. The pro
cession turned into Pine street and pro
ceeded to the Pine street entrance
ot the sub-treasury building. The treas
ury side oi the walk was kept clear for
nearly a block and the carnages being
drawn up by the curbs the entire dis
tance, u large part of the occupants were
enabled to alight at once. They pro
ceeded through the corridor of the sub
treasury building and out on the stand.
Niw York, April do. —The moment
Ihe exercises at the sub-treasury be
gan, the military parade started up
Broadway, from Pine Street on its
triumphal march with Gen. Scho
tieid commanding. The parade was
in three divisions, the first consisting
of regular Poops, cadets and a naval
corps. The Wist Pointers, 400 strong,
led the column. The second division
consisted of the state militia, and they

The crush in the stree s in the lower
part of the tv was so great as the vast
bodies of military continued to arrive at
their appointed places that it was found
necessary to make a formal start some
what earlier than had been intended.
This was done in order that
tbe line might be lengthened
out and got in marching order
! thus ieuevmg at once the pressure in
i the lower wards and placing the headol
the column in such a position that when
the President readied the reviewing
stand, he need be subjected to no delay.
At precisely 10:25 Gen. Schofield gave
the order, and the greatest military
parade of modern times started.
Just before 12:30 o’clock the President
and other honored guests of the day
were driven past the city hall stand in
open carriages, The knowledge that
they had started from the sub-treasury
to take their places on the reviewing
stand at Madison .Square,had been tele
graphed along the line, and the mili
tary bodies had been drawn up in salut
ing columns on the east side of Broad
way.
Revelle and his squad of
twenty mounted officers rode ahead of
the President’s carriage, the horses in a
quick canter set the pace maintained
throughout the entire route. President
Harrison in the first carr age beside
\ ice-President Morton kept his head
uncovered and nodded io the right ami
ie t in :■( know edgment of the wild ap
plause which greeted him all along the
iine. It was such a reception as
never helot e went up from a
gathering on Broadway or anv
other thorough Tare. Men shouted
themselves hoarse an 1 waved their
hats, while the ladies on the street, in
windows and on stands and vehicles ot
all descriptions, waved Hags, ribbons,
hunting and handkerchiefs vigorously.
The cabinet officers and other honored
guests were greeted with plaudits as
they drove next in order, but the ova
tion accorded ex-President Cleveland
was at many points more hearty than
was received by the occupants of the
first coach. Soon a ter the | arty drove
out o! sight the pr cession again formed
in marching orde. and moved along.
Madi.-onSqtian seemed amassot tlags
and bunting. The two big stands were
handsomely d< coiated and early in the
day the crown began to gather. The
President and party arrived at 11:30
o’clock. In the box with t lie
President were Vice-President Morton,
Chief Justice Fuller, Secretary of State
Blaine, Mayor Grant, Gen. Sherman,
Admiral Port r, Hamilton Fish, Eld
ridge T. ( ierry and ex-Presideuls Cleve

of t ie second chief event of the great

Gov. Hill welcomed th* guests in pa
(riotic words. In closing he said:
“These religious ceremonies, these
arches of triumph, these banners un
furled, these treasures of art, these
songs of praise, these pageants of in
dustry, these scenes of rejoicing, in
which we ot this generation have now
a part, all celebrate the giving
and the taking of a solemn pledge
to uphold the liberty proclaimed. The
heroes of the American revolution are
now departed. That age of pre-em
inent creative genius has passed away.
But the country which their valor,
statesmanship and patriotism saved and
established, still proubly exists, en
joying the blessings of civil
and religious liberty, augmenting in
population, increasing in resources,
strengthening in power. It is a pros
perous, happy, indivisible union, its
contented people are reaping the ad
vantages of laws made by themselves,
well and honestly administered. The
sentiments of every true American
are expressed in the hope that
faction may not destroy, that pride
may not injure, tnat corruption
may not undermine and that
sectionalism may not divide this fair re
public, but that its borders may still
further be extended, its commerce may
float upon every sea, I lie stars upon
its flag maybe trebled, its free institu
tions may live on and flourish, and its
liberty-loving people may continue to
work out the problem of self-govern
ment so long as freedom itseli exists
and until lime shall be no more.”
