POILADELPHIA, Pa., May 11.—When the city wake up this morning it was pervaded with a general headache, and such other bad feelings 45 nature imposes on humanity after a period of indiscreet dissipation.” The average Phila- delphian, had lowled and cheered himself hoarse on the previous day, and had endured legions of ' ‘discomforts while standing in thgji:packed throng under a brofling sun thréc or four hours, just for the privilege of seeing a fow distinguished men stand on a platform and make gestures at him. Of course, not one in ten thomsand heard a word of the speeches that were made; yet, with that enthusiasm which somehow endows people with the faculty of doing extraordinary and foolish things, they survived the infliction of heat and fatigue only to throw themselves into still greater spasms of mental and physical exertion, and all the afternoon they elbowed their way—these hundred thousaud people— around the Centennial grounds and through the Luildings, joggled and pushed bere and there, and washed oceasionally from place to place as irresistibly as [FLATSOM ON TIR STORM-RIDDEN SEA. They were good-humored, too, and laughed and romped, and viewed tbe various articles on cxhibition with the glee of children in a new play-house. No spot on the ‘wide grounds was secure from their {nvasion. They chaffed and hustled the officious guards, breaking over barriers without any regard for ations or their own safety, and they stared the solemn Japanese architects quite out of countenauce. TOWARDS EVENING, Iast night, when the clouds broke, and the blue sky began to put in a tattered appearance, the bustle on the streets was renewed. Thedecora- tions showed not o whit less beautiful from their baptism, and the illumination began. Vast crowds lined the strects until midnight, and 8o re- Inctantly did they retire that it was nesrly morning ‘before Philudelphia again presented a natural as- ect. P Fcople, as might be expected, rose lats THIS MORNING. Jtwas 10 o’clock before much life was manifested on 1h2 strects in the vicinity of Fairmount Park. At first they began 10 come fn family driblets, then in showers of squads, and finally the longand con- tinuous pouring of crowds. At moon 35,000 people were on the ground, nnd about that number remained there all day.’ Nostorm came to uell their enjoyment, and, when a tender zephyr Hoated up from the West snd cooled the subimis. eive atmosphere, nothing was wanting on the part of the weather to complete the general happiness. A GREAT CATALOGUE SWINDLE. This morning, on entering the grounds, visitors were greeted by numerous blue-coated boys with the welcome cry, ¢ Here's your oflicial catalogue all complete!™ Of course eversbody wanted one.. nquiry revealed - the ~ fact _ that the books were in_four volumes, 25 cents bein, asked foresch. Investing in two which pretende to containa list of all exhibitsin the ‘main building, 1 hastened into that portion of the Exhibition, and, book in hand, began 8 survey of the first country that1 struck. It h:lgpnned’a be Peru, and - my surprisc was great when Ifound that Peru was ed in the catalogne--neither was Chili, thoughi both these countrics are largely rep- resented. ‘urthermore, even in the case of those countries which were catalogued, I found t almost impossible to identify any article mentioned there- in.. The fact is that the publication which is dl%\\- Sod with the name of official catalouge is & hambug of the worst kind. It is not only bunglingly ar- ranged, but it s foil of the most glaring errocy, Any one who buys one is simply throwing away money. In addition to its other defects it is crammed from beginning to end with advertising, whole pages_being inserted, and frequently one side of a leaf has un advertisment upon it, while on the other s printed the regular matter. Not- withstanding the universal complaint from people who bad been ipveigled into purchasing one or ‘more of the books, the sgents of the Catalogue Company continued to assure cversbody that they were complete, and refused to refand snybods's money. Visitors will do well to shun the “*Official Catulogue.' Many of the countries huve prepared catalogues of their own exhibits, and these are generally accurate. THE LIST OF JURORS who are to award the premiurms to the best exh itors has not yet been decided upon by the Co mission. It ié very itportant that judiclous scle tions xhonld be made, and the matter was left with a commmittee consisting of Miss Proseer of New York, McCarmick of Arizona, and Nelson of Ala- bama. The jury will_gonsistof 250 members, of which 125 will be frgfa foreign countrics, The American jurors will be selected from the different States, according to the cxtentof their eshibits. Pennsylvania will have 12, New York probably 12. assschusetts will come third on the 1ist, THE ILLINOIS JURORS Taye been slready chosen by the Committee. They will be as follows: John P. Reynolds for the jury on farm machinery and implements; Potter Palmer for the jury on texturcs and fine fabrics; J. 3l Gregory, of - the Champaign Industriol Uni- versity, - for the jury on education.
