THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF WASHINGTON--THE SPECIAL THANKS- GIVING PRAYER—BISHOP POTTER MAKES AN AP- PROPRIATE ADDRESS—THE CHURCH THRONGED. New York, April 30.—Long before 9 o'clock, the hour appointed for the special service of thanksgiving. held at St. Paul’s chapel, Broad- way and Vesey streets, streets in the vicinity of the church were filled to overflowing with sightseers eager to gain a glimpse of the Presi- dent and his party as they came to attend the service and open the second day's observance of the centennial celebration, In the various churches throughout the city, pursuant to the President's proclamation, special services were held at the same time that the worshipers at St. Paul’s were commemorating the religious service which preceded Washington's inaugura- tion, April 30, 1789. At about 8 o'clock carriages, provided by the committee on states, drew up in front of the Fifth-avenue hotel. A few minutes later Chief Justice Fuller, the members of the cabinet, and the invited guests entered the carriages and were driven to No, 85 5th avenue, the resi- dence of Vice-President Morton, whose guest the President is, Here THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT WERE ESCORTED by the committee to their carriage, and then, preceded by a platoon of mounted police, the procession started for St. Paul’schapel. Before it reached St, Paul’s the crowd surrounding the Vesey-street entrance had increased to such proportions that it was with great difticulty that the police could keep a way clear for the carriages of the guests, who had for some time been arriving. At a little before 9 o'clock nearly every one who was fortunate enough to possess one of the precious lavender tickets necessary for admission had entered the his- toric old church and was awaiting the Presi- dent's arrival, St. Paul's clock had but just tolled the hour rhen the presidential ‘party made its ap- . The committee of the vestry of : church met President Harrison at the Vesey-street gate and escorted him to the west porch of the chapel, where the rector and full vestry of St. Paul's received him, The Presi- dent was then ESCORTED TO THE WASHINGTON PEW, on the north side of the chapel, which he and his cabinet occupied, the rest of the party being given seats near by. The following committee on aisles conducted the President to his seat: David Augustus Clarkson, chairman, a deacend- nt of Chancellor Livingston; Howland Pell, a descendant of John Pell; Hallet Alsop Burrowe, representing the Hallett and Alsop families; Temple Bowdoin, a descendant of Gen. Alex. Hamilton; Amory Libley Carhart, a great- great-grandson of Major Cornelius Carhart and of Colonel Joseph Beavers, of the Revolutionary army; yor Clarkson, a descendant of Chief Justice Jay; Jno.

THE CHAPEL WAS NOW FILLED, every available space being occupied. Fully 1,200 people were present. Prof. Leo Kofler, who presided at the organ, had been playing a medley of patriotic airs while the congregation was being seated. He now began the proces- sional hymn, “Old Hundred,” which he played with fall organ, The choir took it up, and sang the grand old hymn as it has rarely been sung before. The choir consisted of a well- drilled chorus, under the direction of Prof. Kofler and a double quartette. After the pro essional hymn the Lord’s prayer was repeated by the and people, followed by the usual versicle Phe choir then sung Psalm 85, an anthe: A. Farren, after which the first lesson, cles., 44, was read. Te Deum Laud- amus, in E flat for double chorus, by R. P. Stewart, followed, and the second lesson, St. John, 8, was read. A portion of the Bene- dicte, by Rogers, was sung, after which the Nicene creed was repeated by the clergy and people, followed by a few selected prayer: THE SPECIAL PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING | used at St. Paul's, and by all the Episcopal churches throughout the country, was as fol- low: O, God, whose name is excellent in all the earth. and whose glory is above the heavens, we bless Thee, for the great things Thon hast done and art doing for the children of men. We consider the days of old, the years of ancient times, and unto Thee we do give thanks. Moreover, we yield Thee most high praise for the wonderful grace and virtue declared in all those Thy children, who have been the lights of the world in their ral generations, For raising up Thy | servant, Geo. Washington, and giving him to | reaches the eye of everybody worth reaching. | | | j i | | be a leader and commander to the people; for youchsating to him victory over kings and for bestowing upon him many oxpellant ittia for inclining the hearts of men in Congress as- sembled to wise choices and for granting them vision of the days to come; for a settled con- stitution and for equal laws; for freedom to do the thing that is right. and liberty to say the truth; for the spread of knowledge everywhere among us and for the preservation of the faith we bless and magnity Thy holy name, humbly beseeching Thee to accept this, our sacrifice of thanks and praise, through Jesus Christ, our only Saviour and Redeemer.” Two other special prayers were used, one asking a blessing upon President Harrison and the other for the welfare of the Antes After the prayers the Right Rev. Henry C. Potter, bishop of New York, Selivered the fol- lowidg address: BISHOP POTTER'S ADDRESS. Bishop Potter commenced by referring to the factthat one hundred years ago Washington had knelt within the wails of St, Pauls, and to the peculiar appropriateness of the exercises of to-day. He ulluded to the servioes in which the Father of his Country partici- pated, of the deep religions character of the man, the part he had taken in the struggle for independence, the wisdom of his administra- tion as the first chief magistrate of the repub- lic, and of his great services in birding the states together in a common union. ~“He of the high level on which the first moved, the impartiality with: which formed his duties, and contrasted his Crean with the yy. He spoke of the e Place since that first “As we turn the pages backward, and come mn the story of that 30th of April in the en of our Lord 1789, there is a peach state- iness in the air, a certain ceremoniousness in the manners, which we have banished long ago. We have exchanged the Washingtonian dignity for the Jeffersonian simplicity, which was, in truth, only another name for the Jack- sonian bet marr And what have we gotten in exchange for it? In the elder states and dy- nasties they had the is ga of royalty and the pomp and splendor of the king's person to fill men’s hearts with loyalty. Well, we have dispensed with the old titular dignities. Let us take care that we do not part with that tre- mendous force for which they stood! If there be not titular royalty, all more need is there for —— royalty. If there is to be no robility of descent, all the more indispensable is it that there should be nobility of ascent—a character in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the Royalty of Virtue! “And thus, men and brethren, as we turn to-day and look at him who, on this morning just an hundred years ago, became the servant of the republic in becoming the chief ruler of its people, we must needs own, conferred upon him his divine right to rule. All the more, therefore, because the circum- stances of his era were so little like our own, we need to recall his image and, if we may, not only to commemorate, but to reproduce his virtues. The traits which in him shone pre- eminent as our own Irving has described them, i an immovable justice, r* faltered, and most of all characteristics in her leaders of which the na- tion was never in more dire need than now. And so we come and kneel at this ancient and hallowed shrine, where once he knelt, and ask that God would graciously vouchsafe them. Here in this holy house we find the witness of that one invisible force which, because it alone can rule the conscience, is destined, one day, to rule the world. Out from airs dense and foul with the coarse passions and coarser rivalries of self-seeking men, we turn aside as from the crowdand glare of some vulgar highway, swarm- ing with pushing and ill-bred throngs, and tawdry ‘and clamorous with bedizened booths and noisy speech, in some cool and shaded wood where, straight to heaven, some majestic oak lifts its tall form, its roots imbedded deep mong the unchanging rocks, its upper branches sweeping the upper airs, and holding high com- mune with the stars; and, as we think of him for whom we here thank God, we say, ‘Such an one, in native majesty he was a ruler, wise and strong and fearless, in the sight of God and men, because by the ennobling grace of God he had learned, first of all, to conquer every mean and selfish and self-secking aim, and so torule himselt! For —— What are numbers knit By force or custom? Man who man would be fast rule the empire of himself—in it Must be supreme, establishing his throne Of vanquished will, quelling the anarchy ‘Of hopes and fears, being himself alone. “Such was the hero, leader, ruler, patriot, whom we gratefully remember on this day. We may not reproduce his age, his young en- vironment, nor him, But none the less may re- joice that once he lived and led this people, ‘led them and ruled them psudently’ like him, that Kingly Ruler and Shepherd of whom the Psalmist sang, ‘with all his power.’ God give us the grace to prize his grand example, and, as we may in our more modest measure, to re- produce his virtues.” The service concluded with the recessional hymn. ~ THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY was then escorted by the vestry to the west porch, where the President was received by the Centennial literary committee. The party then proceeded to the subtreasury building, at the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, where the old federal building stood in which Wash- ington took the oath of office in 1789. Here the literary exercises were held. The order of building was as follows; First carriage the mayor of the city of York and the Hon. Hamilton Fish, president of the centennial celebration com- mittee. Second carriage—the President of the United States and the committee on literary exercises. Third carriage—the Secretaries of the Treasury, War and the Navy. Feurth car- riage—the Secretary of the Interior, Postmas- ter-General, Attorney-General and Secretary of Agriculture. Fifth and sixth carriages—the Chief Justice and Associates of the Supreme Court of the United States. Seventh carriage— the general of the army, the admiral of the navy, Senator Evarts, Senator Hiscock. Eighth ge—Ex-Presidents Cleveland and Hayes. Ninth carriage—Bishop Potter, Dr. Storrs and Dr. Dix, Tenth carriage—the committee on plan and scope. THE LITERARY EXERCISES. Eloquent Words Uttered from the Plat- form in Front of the Sub-Treasury. New York, April 30.—In front of the plat- form of the sub-treasury building, where the literary exercises connected with the centennial celebration took place, a sea of heads greeted the eye, and allabout the spot, from Broadway to William street, and as far as one could see down Broad street, eager, thronging humanity was packed. It was next to impossible for one to make his way through the crowd that was struggling for places of vantage near the platform. The platform and canopies extended all the way from the eastern line of the assay office, along the front of that building and the sub- treasury on Wall street, and also around on the Nassau street side of the sub-treasury. The deco- ration of the sub-treasury was most elaborate and certainly has never been equaled before in the memory of any New Yorker. National colors in silk and bunting. shields. eagles, mottoes, portraits of revolutionary characters and many other devices contributed to the grand display and made a most superb effect. "The special stand from which the speak- ers addressed the eed was built directly in front of the statue of Washington, which stood majestically forth above all. WASHINGTON’S STATUE ITSELF stands in a bower of national colors and de- vices, One especially noticeable feature of the decorations is a large presidential flag sent from Washington, where it was made for the oceasion at the Navy department, The flag is 10x17 feet, and is artistically draped on the front of the building. While the services in St. Paul’s chapel were being held the twenty-second regiment band, under the leadership of Patrick 8.

He referred especially to Washington, whose patriotism never faltered; whose courage and steadfastness came from on high, for he had a reverent faith in God's word and in God, and he begged that we might be made worthy partakers of the fruits of his labors, munificent in blet whose fame is henceforth in all the earth. asked | blessings upon the nation, and the President and all who have part in the enactment of law or its just execution, and then added: |. “O Thou, who hast made of one blood all na- | tions of men, for to dweil on all the face of the | earth, appointing their times and the of their habitation, and who art ever the au- in Thy mercy all kindreds of mankind, with them that have office and rule amon Thou art lifting the gates and opening the doors between the peoples, that the King of Glory may come in.

Depew stepped forward to deliver the o-ation he had written for the occasion. Mr. Depew's appearance was the signal for a generous burst of applause, and it was some minutes before he could begin. He spoke in a clear, loud voice and could be heard by a large portion of the audience. The oration was a masterly and elo- uent effort, a synopsis of which will be found sewhere in THE Star. President Harrison’s Address. The President next made a short address. His reception by the spectators was most en- thusiastic. The crowd cheered wildly for some time. When silence was finally gained, the President sai President Harrison said: Fellow-citizens, my task to-day is of a very exacting character and makes it quite impossi- ble that I should deliver an address upon this occasion. Foreseeing this, I early notified your committee that the program must contain no address by me. The selection of Mr. Depew as the orator of this occasion made further speech not only difficult but superfluous. {Applause.] He has met the demand of this great occasion on its own high level. He has brought before us the incidents and the lessons of the first in- auguration of Washington. We seem to have been a part of that admiring and aimost wor- shiping throng that filled these streets one hundred years ago. We have come into the serious but always inspiring presence of Wash- ington. [Applause.] He was the _incar- nation of duty and he teaches us to-day the great lesson that those who would associate their names with events that shall outlive a cen- tury can only do so by high consecration to duty. He was like the captain who goes to sea and throws overboard his cargo of rags that he may gain safety and deliverance for his imperilled fellow-men. [Applause.] Self-seek- ing has no public observance or anniversary Washington seemed to come to the discharge of the duties of his high place impressed with a sense of his unfamiliarity with these new calls upon him, modestly doubtful of his own ability, and trusting implicitly in the sus- taining helpfulness and grace of that God who rules the world, presides in the councils of the nation and is able to supply every human de- mand. We have made a marvelous progress in material things, but the stately and endur- ing shaft at the national capital in Washington symbolizes that he is yet the first American citizen. [Applause.] The President occupied but five minutes in the delivery of his speech. WHEN THE PRESIDENT HAD CEASED SPEAKING, a benediction was was pronounced by the Most Rey, Michael Corrrigan, Roman Catholic arch- bishop of New York.

New York, April 30.—At an early hour this morning troops of soldiers, veterans, militiamen from out of town in smart uniforms, squads of New York state regiments and G. A. R., in vast numbers, began to make their way to their various rendezvous up-town to assemble for the great parade. Detachments began marching down town long before the hour appointed for the start, and during the services at St. Paul's chapel formed in the streets on either side of Broad- way in the lower part of the city. By the time the presidential party left St. Paul's on their way to the sub-treasury most of the troops which took part in the parade were massed about Wall, Pine, Rector and other streets in the vicinity. All the troops with the exception of the Grand Army were stationed so that they entered Broadway below Pine street, thus giving those who occupied points of ob- servation down town an opportunity to witness the entire parade, The route of the procession was ‘ LINED WITH SUCH VAST CROWDS that passage along the streets was impossible. From curbstone to the adjacent buildings the multitude was packed in without regard to human comfort, and ill-betide the luckless ay who was ag Ae weak. Individual rights were not thought of, and the weak went to the wall—literally to the wall of the houses—and away from the curbstone and the center of attraction. procession started, were driten slong and out of the line of march by a platoon of police: bounds | read by Clarence W.

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FEATURE of the whole day occurred when the literary exercises at the sub-treasury Were over. The presidential party, in eleven carriages, in the order before designated. drove over the route of the procession up to the reviewing stand in Madison square, between two lines of troops drawn up at either curb of the street. The President's carriage was drawn by four horses in silver harness. It had two footmen. The other car- riages were drawn by two horses, the literary exercises the van of the parade, which had started when the exercises had marched a long distance up town, but had not reached Madison square. When Archbishop Corrigan had pronounced the benediction at the ‘subtreasury word was given to some of the marshal’s aides who were in waiting and they passed along the line giv- ing the order for each officer to halt his com- pany. In this manner the whole procession was halted from Wall street to the head of the line uptown, Then, at the order of the offi- cers, troops below Duane street divided, part forming « continuous line on the western. curb of Broadway and part forming a line on the eastern curb. Above Duane street the G. A. R. men were drawn up in line on the western curb and the regulars and militia made a line opposite the veterans. This order prevailed from Wall street throughout the line of march as far as 17th street, where the head of the procession was resting. Then BETWEEN THESE LIVING WALLS the President and his party were driven up Broadway to Waverly place, through Waverly place to Sth avenue. up Sth avenue to 14th street, through east 14th street to the east side of Union square, along the square to 15th street, through 15th street to Sth avenue and up 5th avenue to Madison sqnare.
