TIIE NOISE AND MISHAPS.
The CiirnUiiI of Crncker-The I lnre of Kork
rtM The Mlrdinim of nil Corfu.
The noise and confusion on both Sunday and Mon
day far exceeded that heard on any previous anni
versary for teu years past. There had been no gene
ral prohibition of the tiring of pistols and (runs and
the consequence was that all day Sunday and Mon
day there were a constant report of firearms ami the
elattertng of flre-crackcrs.
It own, Fiffhtn, rlr.
In addition to this racket, there were rows almost
kiDuiuerable between enthusiastic Individuals who
were determined to commence the celebration early.
n Sunday morning they began whlskylng up, and
ay afternoon they had got too full of patriotlsm(I) to
be able to give utterance to their feelings. Stagger
tag along the streets, one patriotic !) fellow would
tsuaglne his arm a gun, and taking aim would let fly,
the shot taking effect in the face of another who was
also full of the same patriotic !) Are. Of course this
was the signal for a row, and would bring around
dozens of Inebriated men, who would Ore right and
left. The services of the police were required on
many just snch occasions.
The Dlsplny of Fireworks.
Althongh there was no provision for any pnblic ex
hibition of fireworks last evening, the display by our
Itlzens In all parts of the city was indeed a credit
able one, and was fully up to any previous eirort on
their part.
Tne citizens of the First ward, residing In the
neighborhood of Ninth and Tusker streets, cele
brated the Fourth of July by a display of fireworks
An the let at Ninth and Mountain streets. The ex
pense of the same was paid by money contributed
by the residents. A band was In attendance, and
discoursed music between the different pieces. After
the fireworks had all been exhibited, the Committee
f Arrangements and the band serenaded Messrs.
II. Hoover, Jhmiel M. Blackburn, member of Council
from that ward: It. S. Mcniimlo, President of the
Board of School Directors, First section, and other

CITY mTKLLIUEVE,
FALSE ALARM.
A Hiippord Filibuster stopped by a Kevcnne
Cutter.
(in the llth of June Inst, the Firefly, a fast side
wheel steamer, built on the Clyde, In Scotland, but
now owned by a gentlemun named Mlddleton, a resi
dent of this city, was seized by the United States
Marshal for the purpose of securing payment for
damages Indicted on a canal txiat which she had
run down. This boat tine ticlonginff to t iller's line
was laden with coal, mid was sunk, cargo and
all. On Friday the Firefly's owner entered
till needful security In the case, and
his vessel was released, Mr. Larkins,
the Marshal's watchman, who had been placed on
her to await the settlement of the case, being In
structed to return the wsscL Put the Flisifly's trou
bles were not ended. She bore a rather shaky repu
tation, having a number of times successfully run
the southern blockade dering the Keliellion, and was
suspected by the authorities at Washington, Justly
or unjustly, with being engaged In fitting out as a
Cuban filibuster. Special instructions had been Bent
here not to permit her departure from this port; ami
a week or two since she was boarded by certain offi
cials and searched, they alleging that she had in her
coal holer one hundred and sixteen cases
of arms and ammunition. After her
release by the Marshal, a number of gentlemen
chartered her for the perpose of taking a fishing ex
cursion to Cape May. On Sunday morning they started
down the river from Shackamaxon street wharf,
BtoppinK acraln at Lombard street wharf to take on
more passengers, and proceeding thence quietly and
without interruption till near Chester. She was
going then at the rate or almost sixteen knots an
hour. A revenue cutter hove there In sight, fired a
shot across her bows, when the Firefly hauled to, or
rather, being a steamer, slacked up.
She was boarded from the cutter,
turned back again towards the city, conveyed to the
Navy Yard, and there detained. Her passengers
did not secure their release until yesterday morning,
not until the Navy Yard authorities became satisfied
that all was right The gentlemen upon her scout
all Idea of her being a filibuster. Mr. Mlddleton, her
owner, was accompanied by his entire family. No
arms were on board her nothing more than a pistol
or two. She was simply bound upon a fishing ex
cursion, and Intended proceeding no further than
Cape Island. It is all well enough for our national
authorities having control of such matters to rigidly
enforce the neutrality laws, but does it not place
them In a ridiculous U-ht to seize upon no ground
whatever, a peaceful lessel, bound a. pleasure

Nkw Yobk, July .
The Fonrth of July opened here, as limiai, wttli
theilrlngof a saint from th Ilatury at sunrise.
The prominent feature of the day was the military
parade which took plne In tho morning, the head of
the line moving at half-past 7 o'clock. The streets
were lined with people, who applauded the men as
they marched along the various thoroughfares.
There were, at thu least calculation, 10,(XK) men In
line, and had tho regiments turned out In their
strength, double that number would have been the
remit. As It was, the display was In every way
creditable to the city. At tho Worth Monument, at
i wenty-umrth street and Fifth avenue, an Immense
stand had been erected for the accommodation of
the Association of the Ottlcers of the Army of tho
1'otomac, who wore to have their annual
meeting In the morning. About five hundred
of these heroes were on the platform, and they wore
tendered by command of fJer.eral Khaler a marching
salute. On the stand were W aJor-Oenerals Sheridan,
jieaue, jjurnsnie, nutteriiekl, lugles. Baxter, and
other celebrities. As the troops recognized the faces
of their old commanders the air wss filled with fielr
huzzas, particularly was this the case with General
Meade, who had endeared himself, wMle In command
of the Army of the Totomac, to the men of that
division. So prompt were the orders executed that
by 10 o'clock the parade was over and the men dis
missed to their homes.
At noon the officers of the Army of the Potomac
assembled at Stelnway Hall, and, after a spirited
contest, General P. II. Sheridan was elected the
presiding officer for the ensuing year. Generals
Mende and McClellan were candidates for the posi
tion. The latter received, on the second ballot, 109
votes out of nearly 400. The Initiation fee was fixed
at 8. In the evening aliont one hundred and nrty
of the association partook of a banquet at Del-
monico s.
The day, taking It altogether, was rather (inlet. In
consequence of the order of Mt'ieriutcudent Kennedy
pioiiiuuiiig me nnng or pistols. This order was
faithfully executed, and at night but few arrcsta for
this offense had been reported at headquarters.
'1 here were the usual excursion' during the dav to
the Fishing Banks and tip the Hudson.
The pyrotechnlcal display in the evening was per
fectly grand. The exhibitions took place at the fol
lowing points: City Hall, Battery, .Madison Square,
Tompkins Sqnare, F.ast Broadway fcquarc, Hamersly
Sqnnre, Liberty Uquare, Mount Morris Square, and
Jackson Square.
The following is a list of the larger pieces of fire-
worts exhibited in front of the CItv Hall : Yankee
windmill, pot pouiTl, Jewelled cross, cross of -honor,
polka quadrille, a velocipede race, revolving son,
variegated pyramid, tree of liberty, and gallopndc of
serpents. There were In all twenty, two pieces, of
whicn tne above were the most brilliant. There were
also rockets, bombs, and small pieces almost without
number, the whole winding up with an allegorical
design In lance work. In tho centre, supported by a
pedestal, was a statuette representing our country.
In the centre of the piece there were the wor.ls,
"Onr I'ountry," nnd on either side an Indian, a
a civilian, and a miner. Tula piece was forty feui
high.
fome twenty thonsnnd people, the largest croiv.l
ever seen on any ball field, congregated In the after
noon on the CupiloliiiR ground, to witness the first
of the series of social games between the Atlantic;,
of Brooklyn, and the Athletic, of Philadelphia, it
was considered a sure thing that the Atlant would
win, and, surprising to everybody, there were no
bets made on the result, Tho game throughout ex
hibited niogniticcnt battl.ig qualities on lioth sides,
but this was overshadowed by the execrable field
ing. Mulling was the order, and it seemed that each
player whs endeavoring to rival the other in that
peculiar forte. The victory of tho Atlantic was not
by any means a creditable one, as they should have
easily conquered the disorganized ami almost de
rnorillzi d Athletics by a score ol not less tliaitt.vo
toone. The score wus ai follows:
