PEACE, A Great Demonstration by the Chil- dren of the Fatherland. . The Grandest Spectacle of the Age, Imposing Display in the Streets of New York. A Million of People in Holi- day Attire. German Sirength, German Taste and German Song. ‘Beones and Incidents of the Day—Civic and Mili- tary Displays—Decorations and Ilumiuations— Speeches and Music—"Die Wacht Am Bhein”—Rockets and Rhotoric—Bands, Banners and Beautiful Women—The Day in Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Wesichestor and Elsewhere. War sheathed at last the gleaming biade Aad bade tie weary nations rest, While Peace came down and gently laid Her tropnies on an altar bicst. Clad in the glories of bright sunshine ana biue skies did the day of Germauia’s Peace Celebration dawn. It was a day long wished, long hoped and q@eeply prayed for by many. The agony of a bloody war, in which those of their kinship were com- batants, wade the tong string ct German victories appear like Dead Sea fruit to many—fair without ‘but ‘turning to ashes on the lIps.’? in the great German poem of Leonore a picture is drawn of the @DXIons motler, the loving sister and the tender aweotheart weicoming the returning warnior, and the sad heroine seeking her Wilhelm among them. ¥uch are the first fruits of the dawn of peace. Yes- terday celebrated the triumph which means the returning pride of race in the end of a bloody war. “PRACE” I8 THE WORD ‘ander which the Germans among us disguise half of ‘the real meaning of the event, “No one knows how much this has cost to Ger- many,’’ was the remari of a leading German yester- @ay. There was visible the 1nstinct of triumph, Which is inseparable from the human hears; the feel- ine of bitterness, which means a brother or father ormore distant kinsman slain, ali melting in the consciousness that THE LOVELY ANGEL ‘of Peace was once more spreading his wide, white wings over the fields of their beloved Father- Yand. The fact that our German teilow cid- zens were not present at the struggle takes way nothing from the value of their splendid demonstration. Much has been said of the hardness with which the war was waged; but in yesterday's Pageant it was noticeable that there was NOT A HARD WORD SAID Of the fallen nation, it was Germany, successful in defending her frontier and ner homes against any enemy, which marched yesterday tnrough our #treets in procession more glorioua than that of any Roman conqueror in the full hush of his triamphs. The weather was more glorious than usual in this month of showers. Nota shadow for av instant ob- scared the sun which witnessed the gratutation of a people—nay of a race. 1i was summer weatner for ‘Me nonce. The whole city, irrespective of race, honored the day with bunting, and not less than ONE MILLION OF PROPLE ‘Witnessed the parade. In the following pictures of She day are sketched glowimg transcripts of fme scenes on the streeis, by day and might, the decorations, tne crowds and the Mitaminations, ail pointmg the fact that af Germany can be victorious over foreign focs of face and couutry this is the only country in the ‘worid where all nations and ethuologies can mect ona common footing and celebrate the trump of a grand idea in harmony and befitting splendor, One thing in the cosmopolitan aspect of New York struck many. On the I7in of March it would be fmagined by a stranger that St. Patrick was our only patron saint and that this was part of Ireland; on twe 30th ull. it appeared as though the King of Dahomey reigned in Gotham with a population of dasky subjects; yesterday New York was AS GERMAN AS BERLIN, and any one on the Bowery might have fancied him- weit unter den Linden, Germany bubbled up every- where and the substantial joy of substaguial Teu- tonia foamed LIKE A HUGE FLAGON OF LAGER, mone the.less healthy because of its froth. From an early hour the various societies were astir and assembled at the various rendezvous be- tween nine and ten o’clock. Wien ALL WAS IN READINESS the notice to start was given by the Oring of three @gnal gune at iompkins square. The procession Jormed and ali moved out. This took place at half- Past eleven o'clock. The LINE OF MARCH ‘was from Thirtesnth strect through Third avenne amd the Bowery to Chatham street, through the City Hall Park, then up Broadway to Fourteenth siroct, passing Washington’s Monument, and down Fourteenth street to Second avenue, down Second svenuc to Houston sircet, and down Houscon strect ‘wo avenue A, aud to Tompkins square. IN CITY HALL PARK he municipal edifice was gay with United States wand city flags. The balcony was araped with the Stars aud Stripes, and on @ large piacforn eonstracted in tyont of the hail the German tri-color was blended with the national @mblem. The ofices of most of the leading news- papers, and all ihe German ones, were alive with Me figgs of the two countries, A large crowd of citizens assembied, the bright colors of the ladies’ -Greuses relieving the sombreness of the male ap- Parel. A detachinent o1 police, looking radiant in heir new uniforms, guarded the ine kept clear for @he review. Within the hall @ brillant party as- sembied, vy special invitaiion, in THE GOVERNOR'S ROOM. The centre of the group and amare of all eyes were Governor foitman aga the Consul General of the German empire, Herr Roesing, iu his brilliant diplomatic ‘wntform, embroidered profusely with gold, There ‘were present also a large number of our city and State magnates, among whom were notice eble Judge Ingraham, Peter Cooper, Chief Jus- téce Daly, Chief Justice Barbour, Judge Bed- ford, Judge Larremore, Judge Low, Jndge Kane, Commissioner Sanis, Douglas Taylor, Alder. man 4’ Neill, ere Shandie: jeneral Alexander Hamiton, Gene Storms, James Oliver, Generar Johnson, Colovel Cavanagh, of the Sixty-ninth regi- ent, Charles E.

The Exec sive Coumites, in dress suits and wearing their ofthe white, red and black, were present, beaued by ex-Governor EK, Solomon, of Wisconsin. Phey comprised Wiliam Radde, Dr. Muhr, H. Merz, lt, E. sliiger, PF, Staevener, Th. Bissin- Henry Haas, Brookiyn;* Thomas Busse, Frede- Senack, 1. F. Stiastny, F. Kune, V. Frecht, officio. Tne Governor locked in remarkably good health, id shook hands wish and bowed to as many people Were souls in the room. At ten minutes twelve o'clock some our of the Executive Com- called the assembly to order, and withou a Governor Salomon made the follow: PYRESS TO THE GOVERNOR:— On German brothers and fellow citizens of Now York, sae oben ‘ot our Executive Committers t foe! Fearn to you our slnoero thankn for She festival ond iden os the cyno- the soonest ht ne ory Sepa rae.

Sine the on TV., and icularly from of the Get Magoison, France has been the prey to a thirat for glory conquest. We believe that it cannot ever be the name a peace of Eurove, i yield to none in our devouion to the Uons of the Jaud of our adoption, Governor Hoffman and gentlemen, for ) nor again be the dis:urber of the fe glory in a peaceful people, which all be the guardian of peace in the land of their fathers. We reverence that country with a German soul, though we rinotples and institu. in we thank you, ¢ kindyess of your mviation. ‘To this brief series of temperate remarks GOVERNOR HOFFMAN REPLI GENTLRAEN—I have thought tt proper that the Governor of the state of New York should come to this, the fourth German elty in the world, to jot with you, in your celebra- tion, You record a peace which Germany {s strong enough Ww gaarantee. Providence seems to smile on you in ibis un- dertaking, even in the brightuess of the day, which is excep- tionally ine, even for Apri, fhe Emperor of Germany has often sald in hix deapatches, “We owe all to God,” and thie should not be lost sight of. ‘In reading the programme ol to- day L was forcibly suruck with oue of the resolutions you purpose adopting, It saya: “We expect that the German nation, to whose innermost nature offensive wars are foreign, wil!’ not allow itself to be intoxicated by miliary success aud glory; but that, warned by theexample of France, tt will recognize its mission in using the newly acquired influential position in the council of nations to inaugurate » vew era in international relattoos, in which offensive wars shali be rendered dimeult, the abolt tion of standing armirs be made possible, and the universal Fecognition of the principles of justice and humanity be Sn- sured.” If such a doctrine were accepted by the world then indeed might it be said, “It is well dou Just as the Governor ceased speaking the report of a gun from the City Hail Park brought the meet- ing to the baicony. The line of mounted police at the head of the procession could be seen stretched across the parade ground, and the sound of the bands from Chatham street could be heard winging on the notes of “Die Wachtam Rhein.” A deep shout went ap from the assembled thousands m front of the hail; hats and handkerchiefs Were frantically waved, and the very air seemed rioting in the cntiusiasm of the instant. Every spot that could secure a view was taken advantage of. The windows on Broad- way, Park row and Printing House square swarmed with heads and waving haudkerchtefs, The im- peded cars and wagons Were made into temporary plaiforms, and the Governor and his party des- cended to THE SALUTING STAND. Another gun now boomed forth, and as its blue smoke curled up into the sky Lhe procession moved forward to review. This was eXuctly at twenty- three minutes to one P.

Then came ‘Nicholas Maller's stip from the First Ward, manned trusty voters for the “Boss.” Last of all came the troopers, who closed the procession. The impres- 8.on nade on all by this grand demonstration was that it was the orderly, respectable, thoaghtrul work of an intelligent people, utting them to the well won respect of all. IN TOMPKINS SQUARE. Hut German enthusiasm was by no means ex- hausted in the imposing demonstration wh Swept through our most stately and beautiful streets like a vision of splendid colors and picturesque dresses and honest, happy faces, and which has given to New Yorkers the memory of a pageant that they can never forget—a pageant of which they will tell their grandchiidren in the golden days to me, when onr city is the mis. tress of the commerce and the wealth of the “grand, majestic world.” The crowds that lined the sidewalks followed in the wake of the monster procession as it wound its many-nued Jength along the Bowery and Broadway to the ap- pointed trysting pi in Tompkins square; and here it was that the festival of German victory—the first American celebration of the linmortat Fourth of April—reached # worthy and !mposing culmination, Here it was that the pageant came to a close, #0 far as it had any public character, in songs and speeches, all of which were short, but vetiiiant and full of solemn meaning. ‘THR SQUARE ‘Was as yet—three o’clock—comparatively speaking, ‘an unpeoplea wilderness, The policomen hada done their work well and only a few people nad so far gained admittance, with the exception of tho singers who were (ea together on the plat.

A. KESSLER. Dr. KEASLFn, after explaining the significance of the festi- val and disavowing every ceeire of united Germany to tur- ther any dynastical aapfrations, but rather expressing him- nell tn favor of nited republic, asserted the einims of Germany io the thanks of the United States, to whom, hor sons had been bound by their blood; they ‘loved oar institutions. The speaker compared the state of France and Germany as brought out through this war; said that the latter had proved to be what was expected of ber and | what the world now Jermany’s proudest | aspirations have at Ta The German em- pire, representing peace, frecdom, progress and prosperity, in now anestabliabed fact. The speaker traced the history the two countries throngh the tast three centurtes, and showed that France, by her aggressive policy, spotiated Germany and aspired, to the latter's detriment, to the first rank, But the taat ‘agyroasive act of France aroused Germany to a strong ellort, and she felt that she had unite and draw the sword for her own integrity and seii preservation. She felt that this bad to term the wtruggies oi centuries, ‘That mission js now fulfilled, as the batue ileida of France attest.

The bright prospects for the enjoyment of fair « that she Las loa by | weather which greeted the early matutinal observa- tions of the thousands of Germans resident of Brooxlyn yesterday who had been long looking for- ward to the celebration of the Peace Jubilee thrilled an enthusiastic strain in the inner beings of the sons and daughters of that united nationality. For the ponce the great aim of these pcople—making money by pursuing the path of industry and fru- gality—was forgotten, and all seemed to have made up their minds to throw business to the dogs and “go in” for one great, joyous, jolly day In commemoration of the victories won on the tented, field of France by Fatherland. Barbers pitched the razor and hone into the corner; cigarmakers kicked their knives and wrappings of the leaf out of sight; butchers slung their suusages—Bologna, &’c.—into the ice box; lager saloon keepers and thelr attendants shut up shop, and all hands and the cook sppeared to have abandoned their wonted vocations shortly after sunrtse and hastened to their respective ren- dezvous, Even the corner groceries pat up their shutters after breakfast and packed off to see “de poys init mustiks.”’ The whote family went, too, and | stoou the heat and facicue of tne dusty day with mar tyr-like stoicisin _ IN HONOR OF THE EVENT.
