New tons, April 29.—[Special to News.]—
There was practically no departure from
the programme long ago made out for the
great centennial celebration which was be¬
gun to New York city on Monday. Every
detail of the naval, military and industrial
parades, the banquet, the boll and all the
Other ceremonies and all the arrangements
for their successful consummation had been
under the consideration of the centennial
committees for months before the date set for
the beginning of the celebration, and, not¬
withstanding many preliminary hitches,
everything was In fair order when the hun¬
dreds of thousands of visitors and the more
phlegmatic New Yorkers roused themselves
on Monday morning and went forth for the
exhilarating enjoyment of being crushed,
walked upon and buffeted like chips an he
bosom of the ocean.
The influx of strangers began a week or
ten day* before the commencement majority^ the of vto- the
festivities, lytthe great

Saturday and Sunday. In such a large city
as New York, which Is little less than a pan¬
demonium at all times, such a tremendous
increase’ to the population is not so percepti¬
ble as In Washington during an inauguration, being
Washington in its normal condition
quiet and somewhat slow.
A RESTAURANT CROWD.
But New York waa never so crowded be¬
fore. Broadway was practicably Impass¬ sjght-
able, there were countless thousands of
tsers massed on the great bridge manning
the East river, and it was almost a sneer 1m-
possibility to penetrate Into theatre and hotel
lobbies. The visitors were generally easily
distinguishable trim the New Yorkers. The
people of New York have a way of wearing
their clothe* that is peculiar swing to themselves,
and they have also a certain and blase
manner that is not seen to any other city of
the United States.
New York city was never before so splen¬ busi¬
didly decorated. There was scarcely a
ness bouse or private residence that did not
display some sign that the grand occupants were
patriotically alive to the significance
and Importance of the celebration. The
buildings on the streets through which the
military pend* passed were covered with
tasteful and expensive bunting, and no words
can convey an idea of the splendor of Broad¬
way, with its miles of massive buildings al¬
most hidden from view by flags and banting
and every conceivable sort of picture of the
tether of bis country. The fact that many
0t the portraits were so brightly hued as to
took like a forest fire or a storm at ssa de¬
tracted not at all from the well tatentioned
patriotism which instigated their exhibition.
