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 How poured into tue mg city oo #Tia»y ana 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. ...................... . ................... *ffissp»s . - > East rlveFs clear green waters.
