THE JUBILEE, "~ like, the moon, had several phases. Thers was the architectural phase, the musical phase, the suburban phase, and the nsutical phase. - The nautical phase sppeared yesterday, when a large number of citizens went to Calument or Bonth Chicago—a rose by -either name will emell as swest—in order to be present at the ceremonies which should open to the world Calumet Harbor, or, 88 the invitations - had it, o< the barbor.” The space of 10 miles or so which unhappily intervenes between Chicago and. Calumet was overcome by a pair of railroad trains on the linois Central and Michigan. Sonthern Boads, and by a fleet, consisting of two of Mr. Good- rich's steamers-~the Alpena and the Corona— and three tugs, whose names are carelessly for- gotten. The notables evinced an extraordinary preference for water, and went that way, the train being filled with citizens who are not notable, becanse they have not been in politics, and have sedulously devoted their lives+to pri~ vate business. EVERYTHING FULL. ‘The trains were full and the boats wers full, and the lake was full, and the people were full— of fun. Alistof the names of those present will be found in the directory. AL the notables who went around the city on the circle of glory circnmscribed on Friday were on hand. The names of the standing excursion party of Chi- cago, those mseful and ubiguitous gentlemen who chaperone strangers, snd perform other acta of kindnesa servicesble to the city, have been published ‘“many s time snd oft and will be sgain, untl they go one by one on a final excursion to Bosehill, whence they won’t come back any more. They were all in the enjoyment of health and cigars, aod were nobly eloguent on the lories of the city they loveso well,. It .was. 3 tful precaution to sond several boats with 'the notables, 80 that if one went to the sandy bottom of the lake a remnant might bo saved for future trips. Everybody enjoyed the ses breeze, the Iadies, the Sunshine, and the view of the oity, which can be. seen to fino advantage off shore. Nothing remarkable oc- carred on the Wi’“" though it was nmuaing to Bee 8 West Side Park Commmissioner vainly fry- ing to point out Humboldt Park to sn el stranger, who could not see across the opaque city. 2 THE TRAINS ARBIVED before 8 o'clock, and the bonta steamed up the new harbor a fow minutes lster. There was & ‘Jargo gnthering of persons on shore, whieh was_ swelled hundreds from rthe boats. Two or three bands played, bells rung, artillary blazed, the crowd cheered ; and Christopher Columbus (gince dead) waa not prouder when he trod the soil of & mew conti- nent than Col. Bowen when he saw large steam- ers for the first time moored to the whart of the Bouth Chicago Canal and Dock Company. "Thore was a stand_for speakers, and about $ o'clock Mayor Cady, of Hyde Park, called ythe meeting to order, and nominated Collector ¢ Judd for presiding officer. - Of course he was WHAT MR, JUDD SAID. Mr. Judd szid : Mr. Cady requested me to wel- come this large assemblage of people—citizens o Chicago, and invited guests from other cities, sud from the moundin%:onntry—to view the opening of this harbor, which is only ono of the (| great number of the grand improvements about Fiicago, Dut yesta y many of you who are o to-dsy = viewed with undisguised pleasnre & belt . rail- Wa; the City -of Chicago. The Chicsgo Hiver, with its great system of docks to receive the freights of the world, with this new harbar, only forms one of the grandest aystems of docks adi landings in the world, built for the future of the growing City of Chicago. Here are barbor facilities for not un!g the North and West but for the entire world. Somo of you here to-day remember whon the harbor of Chi- cago River was not mearlyso prominent and promising as is this harbor that we now look upon. One of the first of tho schemes for internal- improvements, was the opening of a contipuous road for the &m- age of steamers from the lfisaiuipfiil iver through what is now the Illinois & Michigan Camal. Not many days since & convention of gentlemen assembled at St. Louis for the avow- ed purpose of discuesing the best means of en- Iarging the facilities of navigating the waters of the West, and increasing the meansof trans- portirig freights to the seabord. Oneof the most remarkable things in connection with that | convention,—and I sssure you thera/ wero few remarkable things ~ in con’aection with it,—one of the most remsarkable thi'ags in connection with this_great convention w2 A that not ove word was said about the su- porior facilities afforded by our Illinois & Mich- 1fan Canal and the Chicago harbor, for the very things which were said to be the object of their gathering. The existence of all we see about ;us isno miracle, and what we have here before us ia not a work of the imagination. The Gov- ernment in the year 1828 first recognized the fact that such » work 28 has during the course of years been accomplish would in coming years be s necessity, and 8o early made an :&Yf‘-’"’i’“"“ for the purpose of improving the facilities of navigation in this re- gion. There is another thing. Thero was & streng copvictton in the minds of the early sottlers here, and in those of the early legisla- tors, that greatness must attend this locality, and Judge Nathaoiel Pope, l%cr lovnx':lh‘n??f- urged upon Con; o north line of the Btate of Illinois m be whera it now is, instead of at the lower end of Lake Michigan.! Let them laughif they will at the Bouth Chicago harbor. tell you I ex; to live to see the Chicago River united to the har- bor of South Ghiclfio by a ship canal from the Calumet iRiver to the Illinois & Michigan Ca- pal. It iz butsshort time sinca.tho Chicago of de-~ | harbor was a far more uninviting place than this ‘harbor is to-day, and I tell youthat darmg the ‘duties upon the merchandise im- into the Chicago harbor smounted to mare than two millions of dollars. During the past season there were nine regular steam- ers which plied between this port and Montreal, Canads, and during the present season there will be eleven more, making twenty in all, i coes.

Cady, Maj A Park ; Dear Sm:a‘iyn 'ie!’vvorf‘l{\ze gfip\::d opening of the harbor at Bouth Chicago, T have thought it proper fomake to you s brief statement of the history of Governm the ent work at that polnt, The fm- provement of the mouth of the Calumet st Bouth _Chis the Government was com- o menced in August, 1670. At that time the mouth of the river was entirely closed up, the river ted from the lake by a sand epit about 709 feet The improvement consisted in cutting & channel from the river to the lake, and the construc- ton of plers to prevent tho channel from flling up by the action of starms and currents in the lake, Tho only cause tending to fil up the channel is this lake ac- ton, and this can only be conntercted by protection plors, which extend out to the deep water of the lako where the bottom is but slightly affected .by tho In 1870 Congress appropristed '$50,000 for this improvement: in 1871, £0,000; in 1813, $40,000, and in 1873, $10,000, making in all $150,000. ‘The original estimate was $300,000. Tlere bas becn expended upto date sbout 3130,000, leaving about $£50,000 to bo expended the present scazon, Tiro thou- mnd fect of pier have been built on the north side, nd 1,000 on the south side of the channel, The chan- Del 15'300 feet wide betwecn the piers, and is now elaves (11) feet deep on the north side. It is proposed thus sea- 50n to decpen the channel and extend the plers za far o5 the meana will permit, The expandituro of the whola amount estimsted will make this harbor equal to any on the Iake. This improvement opens the Calumdt River—and the lakes and streams connecting with {t— 1o vessels navigating Lake Michigan, 8o that, at com- paratively moderate expense, miles of water front can “be improved and = made avallsble to meet the wing demands of commerce and manufscturing_establishments in the ¥vi- cinity of the City of Chicago, It will aiso provide a ‘harbor of refugs for veasels which msy be driven south of Chicsgo Harbor, and might otherwise be driven ashore, ‘The success of this wark is due, in s great ‘mensure, tothe facilities extended by the Calumet & Chieago Canal and Dock Company, who own the ad- Jacent property, and. are engsged in its developme: Respectfull D. G, HousTox, Major of Engineers, Brevet Col. U. 5. A. Waves, MR. C. L CADY, Mayor of Hyde Park, said the opening of a har- bor like that was of vast importance, and in the name of Hyde Park ho wolcomed all’ there who indoreed the action of the Government in aiding and hastening the work. The value, a8 & harbor “of refuge, of Calumet was more to Chicago than its total estimated cost. Nature had made that for » manufacturing centre, and they were thero to solemnize & marringe between commerce and mannfactures. The remainder of the Mayor’s speech was brilliant with metaphors, referencs being made to Romulus, unumnt,fiomo, and other once popular persons and places. GOV. BEVERIDGE said that throngh the kindness of their es- teomed friond and enterprising fellow-citizen, Col. James H. Bowen, they were present to in- augurate that harbor. It waaa new thing for E;mna to lay the foundations of a har- r, but while they lived, nnd forever after, Lake Michigen would sound tho pralses of that dsy. ‘[:p lause.] Three. years ago Congress mado tho frst appropriation to improve tho bia- bor, and st auexpense of only £130,000, tho Government had cat through & sand-bank 200 feet wide and 11 feet decp, opening a way for the Calumet River to lake. Thirty-one years ago he had landed in Chicago, and ho had gince seen wonderful events, but ho ex- ted to see even more wonderful things in the next thirty-one years. He expected to see, in the next Years, & town at Calumet a8 large a3 the ix;;snnt Chicago. [Applause.] From Evanston, own town, to Calumet, he exgocted to see n population of 1,000,000 souls, and the harbor before them connected with Chicsge Dby & ship capal. He ex- ec! to ses St. Lounis _steamboate Hoating in that South Chicago harbor likewise. steamboats from St. Paul and other points. Ho believed the whala people of Illinois wors in favor of thatsystem of internal improvements. [Applause.] XX-GOV. BAUNDERS, of Nobrasks, was delighted with all ho had seen in Chicago. 'They might regard him a8 s border rofian {langhter{, because be had lived on tha border all * his 'life, but he was delighted with - Chicago. He had boon to the ball the night before, and was satieficd from that snd what he caw elsewhere that Chicago was a well-regulated family.. _Bat, -it wss not Chicagoans who-mads’ ois, bat God Al- ighty, who madé- the lake and the country which eupplied Chicago with prosperity. Ho was from Nebsasks, and that was part of tho Northwest, which was proud of Chicago. Gov. AUSTIN, of Minnesota, referred gently to divorces, and expressed his fear of the facility with which those matrimonial rcleases wers granted in tixo city. The audionco saw the joke, and laughed. Re toid a nice little Minnesota story, whicia amused everybody. He couldn't see any tonn round there, but had no doubt it would come 1n due time. Greatnoss waa tho destiny of Chicego. It was simply inevitable, when God Almigity scattered from his bands the waters that made up these lakes and fashioned the ways of com- ‘merce, he meant business. _ [Loud laughter.] SENATOR OOLESDY remarked that they wero there to dedicate that rising town to manufactures, and that harbor to commerce. Itwas due in'alarge measure ‘o the generous id given by Government. The spot was_insignificant, but the Government Iooked everywhere to do good, and the goner- ous srm of the mation, upheld Ly the confidence of istelligent voters, uri- locked that harbor to the civilization of the world. Twonty years benco they would ba aslting thomselves why thoy had not invested in 1and now, when they conld get it for 82.000 oo acre, and which wonld then bn worth £100,000 an acre. In 1868, Chauncey Bowen implored him to by 8 acres of land ia that vicinity 2f €300 an acre, and ho wonldn't do it. That laad was pow worth £300,000 in gold. Thes ghonld go in - and invest. A lady said the stroam was too narrow to be navigated by a Kansas mosquito, but it was as wide as Chicago River thirty-five years ago, They bad hotter invess. He would not be fooled a second time. [Laughier.] ~Hundreds of thousands of people would rejoice in tho en- ergy of the capitalists who developed that ob- scure and uninvitiog region. Let them bave commerce and manufactures like old mother England and New England, whose hilla were full of _music furnished by the sound of the anvil and the loom. ~Illinols would e her competitor, and the competitor of Mother England. God bad given them a goil that would not wear ont in » thousand years, and what God had not given them they made up in that strange Tlin article, Illinois and Chicago impudence. [Loud lsughter.] They eurpassed the worid in that 88 in everything else. Look at Chicago. How many of thew romembered the year of the great conflagration, its ruing now offaced by the energy of the peo- ple. The country was looking at Chicago and the intelligant farmers of Illinois were watching them. The ‘Kouueu creed y was to buy a3 as dear as theycould. Nomerchants that better than Chicago mer- chants. He.would rather enter into competition with bimself than with a keen Chicaso merchant or banker. After apostrophizing tie banner of the country and the Union, the Seu- ate retired amid hearty applause. COL. JAMES H. BOWEN 8aid he conld take one of the steamers twelva miles up that river. As was eaid, God had iven them great advantages tobe used, and &3 glui tried to ntilize them for the benafit of tka buman family. He thanked them for beiny there, and horged they would como again vory often. [AEp nse]. ) Benator Logan was called for, but the traica were preparing to go,and the Seuator’s eloquent remarks will have to be dolivored on a more 0p- portune occasion. THE RETURN. The trains moved off, and the boats did tle same, amid the farcwells of the Calumettans cn the bank. - The return f{rip was swiit and pleasant. Nothing happened tc make wives widows or children fatherleas, There wss » fine opportunity, however, The engincer of one boat bet ahat with the Cap- tain of another that he would beat him fifteen minutes to Chicago. It was quite exciting. That hat was to be lost and won. Itdidnct mako the slightest difference that 400 persons miiht be incontinently sent to Davy Jones' Jocker, that 300 widows might monrn their los and 1,200 children cry for them, g0 as that hst was eaved. It was: posed to put Commissioner Miller- anl the Hon. John M. Rountree on the safety-valva of one of tho boats, * to keep her mouth ghat, 28 the Captain said. It was nip and tuck,; nec's and neck, ‘‘snout and snout,” jibboom and jil- but at last ehe won. Which? It makos not the slightest differenca. 5 THAT CARRIAGE. q The boats arrived at the dock in safety, and 2’f eyez wero strained to catch a glimpse of thet riege, but it was not there. Mr. A. C. He: came to the bost in it, but no oce him £0 vay ia it. Soms persons suggest that the liorses had taken sick or the zxle wa: weakening, and that Mr. Hesing was taken 1u, b% the ‘l:arrilga and the subscribers i o3 pro- JROTS oV G40
