Monster Processions, Historical Speeches and Public Sports Everywhere. Through storm and calm the years have led Our nation on from stage to stage A century's space until we tread The threshold of angther age.—-Bryant. It would be difficult to give anything like a detailed account of the preparations made for the celebration of the hundredth birthday of the United States. Everywhere throughout the Union there seems to bea Centennial fever. Every city, town or village, from Maine to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic tothe Pacific, has its fetes, ita processions, its orations and its public sports arranged in honor of the day. We there- ‘fore give below a general idea of the festivities, and this is elaborate and. interesting. In this city there will be tho grandest parades, torchlight processions, and other special exercises in Union square and at tho . Academy of Music, In Philadelphia there willbe great rejoicings. Old Independence Hall will be the great centre of attraction. fhe old Liberty Bell will sound again and herald forth the joy of citizensas it announced the founding of the Republic a hundred years ago. Members of Congrens of the United States will assemble once more within the walls of the time-honored edifice. Instead of defying *nemies the nation will point to the proud, peaceful ‘position attained among the great Powers of the earth who now come to us in a spirt of friendly rivalry to smpete in the world of science and art, Statesmen mad diplomatists from all parts of the globe will be “present to witness the festivities and accept the hospt- talities of the Centennial Commission. As the programmes below will show there will be more outdoor sports, on land and water, such as run- ming, climbing, yachting and rowing regattas than Nave over before in the history of the country. THE EMPIRE CITY. IT8 CELEBRATION BY CIVIC, MILITARY AND POLITICAL BODIES—A THREE DAYS’ DEMON- STRATION, The Centennial Celebration Committee of this city has now so far compietod its arrangements that a clear idea of the general order of exercises, processions, iuminations and orations, which will stimulate the patriotism of our citizens und render the Fourth of July im this our centennial year an occasion uever to be forgotten, can now be obtained Many of the largest and most influential business bouses in the city closed their doors yesterday, and will not open ayain for business till after the Fourth, giving their employés a three days’ vacation in which to ‘celebrate.’ The Produce and Stock Exchanges have followed their example, thus giviog the brokers the longest holiday they ever bud, except during the panic of 187%, when they suffered an enforced one of about a week's duration. The celebration will extend over a pertod of three days. It will open this evening at eght o'ciock, when the singing societies, composing the Centennial Sang: verbund, will give a grand vocal and instrumental eoncert at Gilmore's Garden.

In their address the committee urged a demonstra- tion “which will commence during the night of the ‘3d, extend into the morning of the Fourth and con- tinue through that will be the most magnificent and imposing ever seeu on te continent.
