The monster civic and industrial pa- goant started from Broad and Dauphin stroots shortly after 10 o'clock and march- od to Broad and Moore streets n distance of noarly five miles, and then counter: marched to the starting point, passing through one continuous line of observa- tion stands gaily decorated with flags of all nations. The head of the procession, led by a cordon of mouted police, reached 1 Oity Hall, Broad and Market streets at 11,40. The crowd was so immense at this point that the police had great difficulty in driving them back. The street was, how- ever,cloared in time to prevent a stop- page of the moving pagent, which pro- ceeded around the west side of Qity Hall and on past the grand reviewing stand at Walnut street. There were in line 300 floats, each besr- ing a representation of some particular brunch of industry, 12,000 men, 2,000 horses and 150 bands of music, At the head of the column rode Colonel A. Loud- on Snowden, chief marshal, and his staff of fifty wnides, a standard-bearer and two trumpeters. Directly behind them and jeading the column was the United States Marine band, fol'owed by a grand banner representing Coltmbia pointing to the past with one hand and with the other to the present, the former being represented by old implements and conditions, the latter by those of tc-day, indiestinz progress. The banner typified the demonstation, and was drawn on a car by six horses, The display from this point was divided into twenty-three divisions, each being under the charge and supervision of an assistant marshal and several aides, The honor for heading the first division was given to the Patriotic Order of the Sons of America, who presented a besuti- fal display. It was headed by a gaily dec- orated wagon bearing banners witn mot- toes emblematic of the order. Following this float came ® band and several tablesux on floats typical of events during the rev- olution, and representing tbe different «| nations which make up American populs- tion in costumes; a beautiful temple, baudsomely decorated, with twenty-eight ladies at the portal, representing the states of the union, “Uncle Sam,’ the Goddess of Liberty and the thirteen original states represented by Daughters of America, in . | costume, and a fost on which stood repre- sentations of the school houses of a centu- | #Y Ago, and those of to-day, surrounded adnesday evening of 1.90.

PurLapxrruia, September 156.—The last centennial of the event of revolution- ary times began this morning. It is safe to say that there were at least 200,000 vis tors from a distance, in addition to the thousands from adjacent counties of Penn. sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, and hardy » state or territory remains unrepresented in the three days’ festival. The sreets to-day presented an ap- pearance that is lovely in the extreme. In sll directions as far as the eye can reach it was one mass of bunting and decors. tion. Many of the newspaper offices and public buildings made s lavish display, the decorators having worked early and Iste to complete their work in time. At daylight this morning they were still at work putting on the finishing touches, which have been more or less delayed by inclement weather: Every arrangement has been made by those in charge and the day wasone of the most eventful ones in the history of the 2ivilized world, Amid the gay holliday attire of the streets there Is nothing more conspicuous and artistic than three triumphal srehes that span Broad and Chesnat streets: The Broad street arch is the principal one. It was erected by the contennial commis. sion and Is sixty feet high, springing fromonch curb : Is in plain semi-cirole form and segment on the south side with | by school children. The remsinder was made up of the national and state officers snd the visiting camps of the Sons of America in full regalia. Thecarpenters’company of Philadelphia the oldest industrial association in the country; comprised the Second division. This ssmocistion was incorporated 150 Yy&W ago. The feature of the display by this fitch was & miniature Grecian temple containing thirteen Corinthian columns, representing the orignal thirteen states. This is a duplicate of the original exhibit of the Carpenters’ compsay in pamads of 1788, which commemdtated the adoption of the federal constitution. Fol. lowing this was another temple of Grecian Dorie order upon » float, intended to be emblematic of the present grand union o states, On each column was a shiek: beeping the name of each state. The mem. bers of the Carpenters’ company followed in carriages, The third division was devoted to dis play of agricultural implements of ancier t and present times. Nexicame s represen. tation of the flouring mills of 1760 and 1814 snd an illustration of the prese:t mode of manufacturing flour. The typographical fraternity made up the fourth divison. Illustrations of the different modes of printing were given, This division displayed a tableaux of the well known engraving, “The First Proof,” and illusfrated the old-lime way of making type, together with the mode of the present time. Then came a nam, ber of floats containing ancient and mod- ern presses, followed by a display of the paper trade. Division five consisted of delegations from the various educational institutions of the United States. This division was headed by the University of Pennsylvania. The Indian training school was represent. ed in this divisien, several mounted In- dians riding at the head. Division six was composed of fe build. ing trades, every branch of that industry being represenced. Division seveh was a representation of saw; engine and too) works. Division eight was composed of the old Volunteer Firemen's association Twenty-three companies were In the die vision, The brewers made up the Ninth division, and the tenth was devoted 10 an exhibition of the coining money in the United States mint, "nd the workings of the postofice. The Knight 4 of the Golden Eagle Bb O00) strong, made up the cloventh, The twelfth wis » display of the products of the textile takes up by wu of thes Tho i re 0) " wr laminated shields of the thirty-eight | .etates forming the union, and on the north side the name: of each being back 40 back.

Khare ware atxton-uslogeaph’ Hatlons Amin flied wl } eighteen was a display by the electric light companies. Divisons nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two and twenty-three were made up of civic societies and displays by mis. osllanoous trades, In one of the last named divisions the carrisge formerly used by George Washington was drawn along by six white horses. North Broad street was 50 crowded as to be almost impassable ws early ns 7 o'clock, and the great crowds blocked themselves together in the street, notwith- swnding the efforts of the police to keep the laiter clear. On North Broad street there was scarcely a house, public or pri- vate, that was not covered with bunting or in other ways suitably decorated. The Odd Fellows’ ball exhibited » banner an- nouncing that place the ‘‘spot where Franklin drew lighwning from the clouds in 1762,” and at other points busts of Washington were mounted in front of the houses and profusely decorated. The presidential party, consisting of the president, Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary Bayard and Colonel and Mrs. Lamont, left Washinglon at 4 o'clock this afier- noon in charge of Major Carson. A hot journal before reaching Baltimore detain. ed the train twenty minutes, which was not made up during the journey. At Baltimore a large crowd collected around the station and cheered for the president, but the latter did not show h.mself, and the train stopped only a few minutes. On arriving at Wilmington, there was a big demonstration, an immense crowd cheer- ing and calling for the president. He finally appeared, in company with Mrs. Cleveland, on the platform and bowed scknowledgment. At Wilmington the presidential party was met by the Philadelphia reception committee and escorted to Philadelphia. The party were landed at Thirty-second snd Market streets. Where the City Troop was in waiting asd under their es cort ‘they were driven to the Lafayette botel. Here an immense assemblage had gathered anticipating the arrival, sand in answer to their repeated calls and cheers President and Mrs. Cleveland appeared on the balcony snd bowel their acknow- ment amidst tremendous cheering. The president in conversation subsequently ex. pressed himself highly gratified by the cordiality of his reception, Governor Beaver gave a public recep- tion to-night at the Academy of Fine Arts and shook bands with about fifteen thou. sand people. Nearly all the visiting gov- ernors were present and President Cleve. land arrived during the ceremonies and was most cordially greeted by Covernor Beaver and the others assembled ' in the ball. Ex President Hayes was also pres ent. President Cleveland remained a short time and then proceeded 10 the Ustholic club on. South Broad street, where . re ception to Cardinal Gibbons was in pro gress. The chief magistrate received » corisl greeting from the cardinal apd other smicent Catholic clergy, and after an exchange of compliments and lotre ductions the president returned to ihe Lafayette hotel and retired for the night. Shortly afler midnight, after he had re- tired, bo wat serenaded by the Maenner- chor society, which also left & handéome basket of lowers for Mrs. Cleveland.
