AT TEE DEPOT.
At twelve o'clock, the gentlemen com
posing, the Escort and Receptitin tom-
'• mfttees met at the Mayor's office, where
open•carriages were in waiting to convey
them to the Union depot, and on arriving
there ; _the ;crowd of people anxious to
see the President had swolleii t pions.
ands, blocking up the streets in every
direction for two or three equares. With
considerable difficulty the Committee
made their way to the depot, where they
awaited the arrival of the special train
which was to bring the President and his
, F.I.AIqK MOVEMENT.
Bbon after the arrival of the committee
at the Depot, and some ten minutes before
the train was due, a telegram was re
ceived and handed to the chairman,
stating thatthe train was thirty minutes
behliad 'Moe and consequently would not
arrive untillialf past three o'clock. This
- fact was announced to the thousands who
had assembled in and around the depot,
and crettedveneral dissatisfaction, as a
large ntiMher_of those present had been
waiting for oi'ar an hour. Whether the
announcetnermwas prepared _for the oc
casion or .not, we - are unable to say, but
it enabled the President to execute one of
•his favorite movements .In , military tac
tics, as the crowd after hearing the an
nouncement began to scatter, and
in live minutes after the dispatch
was read the special train came
thundering into the depot. . The -
President stepped out aim% and was not
recognized ,by . any; one unca. tie had
passed nearly through 'the' Depot...when
General Moorhead, seeing him, quietly
took obarge.of him and conducted him
to a carriage, in which the President,
General Moorhead, Mayor Brush and
W. A. Tomlinson were conveyed to the
Monongahela House, , not only flanking
the crowd, but the greaterportion of the
members of committees and the e!seort.
The fact of <his arrival, howeveri, soon
became generally knowniquid try the
time the carriage in wbitittlyi t yrskseated
had reached Penn streetit.Was joined by
the other carriages composing the stßort•
and preceded' by a detachment .of the
Ma-yor's police and the Great Western
hand, tho , procession moved to the
arcalosaiai;LA sous.
Here the President and party were' re.
celved by the Committee of Recepticin•
and conducted to the rooms, where they
were permitted•to rest for a time.. The
President subseqeently, accompanied by
.Major A.. M. Brown and-"others of the
Reception Committee; w as Conducted. to r
a private nailor at tile side.or the hotel.
where ho was.introduced •to a large num.
ber of, prominent citizens' end ladies.
The reel; to see hi& was - Cogreat Unlit
became - necessary for. the' President tO
make himself visible 'to • the crowd, ' and
Major Brown announced that General.
Grant would appear on the east balcony,.
whereupon there was a general rush for
the street. The President was then cog
ducted to the balcony, where be was re"
otiruid , withloud and prolongedtheeri,
The General.could not be' draw% inta
speech, however, and raising, his hat,
thanked the crowd for their kindness
and retreated to his room and shortly
after to the dining table.
AT 'TILE VO LESiErST
After dining the President, in a ear
l-lege, .accokpanied by Mayor Brush,
Mayor Drum and Maj. A. `Brown, he-
companied by twelve other carriages, 'oc
cupied by the Presidential party. Corn.
mittees of Reception and members of the
Press. proceeded to the Volkefest at Dr.
Gross' grove, 17th Ward, a distance of,
four miles from the Monongahela House:
Oc arriving at the 17,rove c. the President
was taken out of the carriagh, upon the
stand, where there was a perfect., rush
and intense enthuilatrmttihNitiling: The
police, with great difficulty, succeeded
in keeping the ,Croird batik, and When
quiet was restored, the President Mid:
Lattice anti Gentlemen:, It , gives me
great. pleasure to visit yofir picnic in this
beautiful grove. The name of Alexan
der Vo Humboldt, the great German
scholar; is well known to the world; and
I join you in honoring . , this. gretuutan's
memory. The Germani 01 . the United
States are an important and useful ele
ment in the, population . of this country.
I thank : yon for .the ;enthusiasm you
have displayed. •
His brief remarks were received with
'prolonged applause and the immense
concourse of people_ assembled there
were wild with enthusiasm.
AiOTIZER *LANZ .31 . 0V4 - ILENT.
It became' - evident to the committee
haying the President in charge'that some
strategy would be necessary to get him
out of the crowd, which by this time had
collected around the platform upon
which he was standing by thousands. A
part of the programme was to visit the
residence of Dr. Gross, but unless the
crowd could be avoidecbthis was impos
sible. The President wits at length con
ducted to his carriage; which was driven
off alone in an opposite direction frosi
the Doctor's •house, said after getting
clear of the. immense throng of people,
the house was reached by a circuitous
route of four or five miles.

when the crowd on the streets, which

and - continued to cheer until he made

A beautiful open temple had been
erected over the foundation of the mon

flags, , representing the nationalities of
the United States, Austria, England and
the North German Coufederation, flut

staff, run up directly over the center,
floated a magnificent specimen of our
nation's tanbleni. Inside the t'emple,
surrounding the foundation, were seated'
the officiating, Masonic officers, dressed'
with appropriate regalias , anJ bearing
symbols of the order.
