PARIS EXPOSITION. Marshal MaeMahon Distributes the Prizes Awarded. A GRAND CEREMONY Magnificent Scenes in the Pal- ace of Industry. AMERICA’S LAURELS. Our Citizens Decorated with the Legion of Honor. HOMAGE TO INDUSTRY. Princes, Prelates and Diplomats Attend the Fete. IMPERIALISM VEKSUS REPUBLICANISM [Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Panrrs, Oct. 21, 1878. The last great official act in connection with the Exposition Universelle, the distri- bution of awards, took place to-day at the Palais d’Industrie. Preparations for ‘this event have occupied several months, and the result was magnificent and imposing. The great glass roofed nave, usually de- voted to the purposes of a winter gar- den, was converted into o vast hall, with boarded floor, carpeted with crimson and otherwise decorated with all that taste characteristic of the French. The eye was completely satisfied by all the conditions of the great spectacle, with the vastness of the proportions, with the brilliant but harmonious color, perfect and softly sub- flued by light, and with the careful adapta- tion of the decorations and devices to the pecasion. ADMIRABLE ABBANGEMENTS. Nothing could be more admirable than the arrangements. Each ticket bore on its face the number of the section and number of the seat to which the holder was as- signed, while on the reverse side was a dia- gram of the palace indicating the entrance to each section. The dais or central plat- form for the President of the Republic and the authorities was situated in the corner square nearest the Place de la Concorde. At an elevation of twenty feet was the plat- form containing sixty seats for the Chief Executive, foreign princes, diplomats, Presidents and Bureaux of the two cham- bers of the Legislature, special Ambassa- dors, Ministers and Prefects of the Seine, Chief of Police and subordinate Cabinet officers. PLACES FOR DISTINGUISED PERSONS. The staircase leading to this platform was flanked by two enormous pedestals, deco- rated with various trophies of industry and Bcience. At each side were beautifully deo- erated boxes, or stalls, specially set apart for the wives of President MacMahon, of Cabinet Ministers and of members of the Diplomatic Corps, In a space separating the ‘‘seats of honor” from the loges of the Indies were chairs for the regular Foreign Ambassadors, Foreign Commissioners, the General Commission (French) of the Expo- sition and Council of the Legion of Honor. Rising gradually, tier above tier, the seats reached the first gallery, which runs around the building. On both sides of the stage and in front of it, in the first gallery, were a large number of boxes for ladies, On the benches reaching up from the seats of honor to the gallery were places for the Council of State, the magistracy, munici- pal councillors, Deputies, Senators ond members of the Bar. ARTISTIC DIVISION OF SPACE. In front of the dais were 3,000 seats for the lucky persons who had obtained prizes, these seats being formed in two immense squares, separated from the other portion of the nave by a wide passage, beyond which again were places for the thousand jurors, Beyond the jurors was an inclined plane, with seats for 8,000 spectators, taised so that every person could distiuctly see everything that transpired on the dais. This, however, was only a small portion of the accommodation which French ingenuity had devised ont of the space at command. Rows of seats rose one above the other to the first story on both sides of the nave, ond others wore erected above these again as high os the substantial pillars that sup- port the roof. At the end of the nave and facing the chair of the Prosident were boxes for about one thousand. By ranging teats up toward the roof from all sides and by judicious division of the galleries seats were provided for about twenty-two thou- sand persons. A very numerous orchestra, sided by a chorus of several hundred male and female voices, occupied seats in the pave nearly in front of the President, A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT. Notwithstanding the vast number of tickets issued there was no crowding, no contusion, Within the hall it was like a grand spectacular pitce d'opera. The coup dil when the hall was filled was beautiful beyond description. Everywhere the eye wandered it was met by lovely colors, Here the gorgeous military and diplomatic cos- tumes and the scarlet ermined robes of the judges of the Courts of Cassation and Ap- peal; there the green embroidered: coats of the members of the Institute, and the violet robes of the Papal Nuncio—these, added to the brilliant toilets of the ladies, made up a scene such as I have rarely witnessed. NOTEWORTHY INCIDENTS. There were several incidents worthy of mention before the ceremonies. On the entrance of the Papal Nuncio by a curious coincidence the orchestra struck a march from ‘Le Prophete.” Our attention was again excited by a well known correspond- ent of a London newspaper appearing in & gorgeous crimson military uniform and plumed hat. At the principal entrance Marshal Canrobert and Minister Borel were engaged for half an hour in animated oon- versation, discussing the knotty points of French politicos and making comparisons between the present Exposition and that of 1867, ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT, Precisely at ten minutes to one o'clock M. Gravy, with the Bureau of Deputies, ar- rived and took seats on the estrade to the left of the President amid the cheors of the spectators, Immediately after followed Duo d’Audiffret Pasquier, with the Bureau of the Senate; these were seated tothe right of the Chair. At five minutes to two the booming of cannon announced the approach of the Presidential cortége, which had made a sensation as it passed through the principal streets trom the Elysées. The Marshal- President, dressed in the full uniform of his rank in the army, entered the nave preceded by the Introducer of Ambassadors and Master of Ceremonies, On his right walked Don Francisco d’Assizes, on his left His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and followed by the Duc d’Aosta, Count of Flanders and the Prince of Sweden, who took their seats on the estrade in the order indicated. A defile then took place of the foreign soldiers and guardsmen sent to the Exhibition, and who preceded the delegations of the nine groups of exhibi- tors. The United States marines received a special ovation, being greeted with hearty cheers, Then came the delegates of the nine groups, preceded by banners and de- filed before the Marshal. NAPOLEONISM RECALLED. Here amid all this pomp and ceremony, this gathering of the great and learned, this booming of guns and clashing of cymbals, the ceremony of to-day recalls the fam- ous pageant of 1867, when Napoleon III. delivered the prizes to the successful ex- hibitors in that Exposition. It was held in the building in which now is commemo- rated the recompenses of the great Exposi- tion, The Palace of Industry is one of the monuments of the Empire and was built forthe Imperial show. Since then it has been used for everything—horse shows, pic- ture shows, exhibitions of butter and fruit and tapestry. In 1867 the prizes were an- nounced in July; now they have been kept until October. I will mot say which is the better plan, as there was heartburning then and _heartburning now, but I suppose those who managed the affair know best, Every sort of pressure has been put upon the management to have the declaration earlier than October, but with no avail. I presume the directors felt that if there had been any earlier an- nouncement the interest of the exhibitors, more especially of those who did not re- ceivo the grand prizes, would die out. As itis there has been a continued interest in the show until the end, and the juries have been busy up to the last moment in deter- mining all questions of appeal in reference to the prizes. THE DOUBLE CORTEGE oF 1867. In 1867 when the Emperor announced the successful exhibitors he was at the zenith of his power. His procession started from the Tuileries, the Pavil- lon d’Horloge. It crossed the Jardin des ‘Tuileries and camp into the Place de la Concorde. Thence across the place to the Avenue des Champs Elysées, Along the whole route was arranged a double line of the National Guard. At the head of the procession rode the trumpeters of the guard and a squad of cavalry. Then came the carriage of the Princoss Mathilde and the carriage of the Prince Napoleon. Then came the carriages containing tho ladies of honor, chamberlains, lords in waiting and high persons of the Court. Then came a State carriage containing Princess Ma- thilde and Princess Clotilde, After this the carringe of the Emperor, drawn by eight horses, and in this were His Majesty, Eugénio, the Prince Imperial and Prince Napoleon, Behind rode two squads of the Hundred Guards, At the same moment the cortége of the Sul- tan left the Elysées, the palace of the Mar- shal President. This cortége camo down the Rue Saint Honoré, and turning up the Rue Royale crossed the Place Concorde and entered the Champs Elyséos. It might as well have gone around the corner or through the back gate of the palace and came NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1878-TRIPLE SHEET. across the street and saved all this trouble, for the palace is opposite the Elysées gar- dens, but Napoleon wanted to show a real Sultan to his people and made the route as long as possible. The Sultan rode in a car- riage drawn by eight horses, and with him were the hereditary princes Abdil Hamid, now the Sultan, and Youssoof Izzadin. DAZZLING IMPERIALISM. It is remembered that on that July dey the weather was beautiful, and that an im- mense crowd witnessed the progress of Em- peror and Sultan. There was perfect order, and when the Lord Mayor of London and his Aldermen in golden robes passed there was an immense cheer, At two o'clock the inside of the palace was splendid—such elegance never having been seen before. There was a space reserved in front of the throne. Here were first seated those who had won the grand prizes, the Legion of Honor, and so on, There was a group of those whose claim to distinc- tion was that they had done the most for “‘social harmony.” Then came the artisf%, headed by Mr. Nieuwerkerke. Each of these groups was headed by a banner. When the Emperor’ came he was received at the door by the Imperial Com- missions. The Emperor and the Sultan were seated, The Prince of Wales arrived amid cheers, On the right of the Emperor sat the Sultan, the Prince of Wales, the Prince of Orange, the Prince of Sax- ony, the Prince Imperial, the Grand Duchess Marie, the Duke of Aosta, the Duke of Cambridge, Princess Mathilde and Princess Teck. On the left of the Em- press sat the Prince of Russia, the Princess of Saxony, Humbert, now King of Italy; Murad, the present crazy ex-Sultan; Prjn- cess Clotilde, the Duchess d'Aosta; the Duke of Leuchtenberg, great grandson of Josephine; Prince Napoleon, Prince Herr- man of Saxony and Abdul Hamid, now Sultan, Immediately in the rear of the Emperor sat members of the Emperor's and Sultan’s families, among them the heredi- tary Prince of Saxony and a‘ crowd of Murats and Bonapartes. WONDERFUL SCENES, When these select and exalted persona took their seats it was about two o'clock. Then the orchestra played a hymn to the Emperor. Then M. Rouher arose and made a report tothe Emperor. He announced 64 grand prizes, 883 gold medals, 3,653 silver medals, 6,565 bronze medals and 5,081 hon- orable mentions—in all 16,966 prizes. When Rouher read his report the Emperor arose, and likewise all the princes, The Emperor made a speech, each sen- tence ringing through the vast building and eliciting loud applause. Then came the ex- hibitors, each group at a time, presented to the Emperor by M. Forcade de la Roquette, the Minister of Agriculture, who pro- claimed their names. The Emperor him- self had exhibited a model for the houses of workingmen (maisons ouvrieres), and had been allotted a grand prize. When the announcement was made the Prince Im- perial tripped up and handed his father the prize, and there were lond cheers—many weeping, so pleasurable was the emotion. This giving of the prizes was a tedious ceremony, and when it was over the Emperor, Empress, Sultan and all the grand princes made a tour of the naves, The Emperor spoke words of encouragement to each group and requested M. Rouher to say aloud how pleased he was with the show and the Im- perial Commission. Then the orchestra and chorus executed ‘Domine Sale vam,” ond when the Imperial cor- tége left the palace the choir per- formed Handel's chorus from ‘Judas Maccabeus.” Among those in the audience incognito was the Khedive, This day in July is said to have been the proudest in the Imperial life. But shadow falls hard on sunshine, and as Napoleon came. bome from the glorious spectacle he read the news that Maximilian had been shot in Mexico—news which we now see to have been the first note of the downfall of his house. MACMAHON’S ADDRESS, Each president of a group ascended the estrade and received from the Minister of Agriculture a book containing a catalogue of the awards. This portion of the cere- mony being over the Marshal arose and read his address, in which occurred the following passages, that were most enthu- siastically cheered :— “When the government of the Republio convened the savans, artists and mechanics of all nations to meet in our capital, France was just emerging from a period of painfal strife, and her industry had notescaped the force of that vast commercial crisis which depressed business throughout the globe, Yot the exhibition of 1878 has equalled, if not surpassed, its predecessors, Let us thank God, who, to console our country, has permitted that this great and penceful glory should be reserved for it. We may declare these happy results with profound satisfaction, because in our idea the success of the International Exhibition redounds to the honor of France, But it does not become us simply to encourage art and exhibit the improvements made with regard to the various means of production, We have beon able, in a most earnest and convincing manner, to demonstrate that seven years passed in re- flection and devoted to labor have sufficed to repair the most terrible disasters that ever befella nation. The world has wit- nessed the strength of our credit, the abundance of our resources, the peace and quiet of our cities, the content of our popu- lations, the instruction and good discipline of our army, as now reconstructed, testify- ing to an organization which I am convinced will be fecund and durable. “Our national ambition has not been ar- rested by disaster. If we have become far- seéing, prudent and more laborious we shall become still more so, and, in memory of our misfortunes, maintain and develop among us the spirit of concord, absolute respect for our institutions and laws, and ardent and disinterested love of country.” * DECORATING AMERIGAN CITIZENS. The Minister of Agriculture and Com- merce replied to the Marshal in a pi speech, which was imperfectly heard throughout the hall. M, Berger then pro- | claimed the names of the foreign exhibitors admitted to the different grades of the Legion of Honor. Among Americans deco- rated were the following :— Richard C. McCormick, Commissioner General, commander. Frederick A. P. Barnard, President of Columbia College, officer. Andrew D. White, President of Cornell University, officer, Professor William P. Blake, chevalier. Mr. Edward H. Knight, chevalier. William W. Story, chevalier, A number of exhibitors were also decor- ated. Of these were :— Charles Tiffany, silverware. Thomas A. Edison, phonograph. Elisha Gray, telephone. Brewster & Co., carriages. Jw. A. Bridgman, artist. Cyrus H. McCormick, of Chicago, and Walter A. Wood, who were decorated as chevaliers in 1867, were made ‘‘officers” to- day. ' The following, attached to the American Commission, were also made chevaliers:— A. H. Girard, Foreign Secretary. Henry Pettit, architect. Homer Pickering, Superintendent of Ma- chinery. John D. Philbrick, Superintendent of the Educational Section. D. M. Armstrong, Superintendent of the Art Gallery. Lieutenant B. H. Buckingham, Attaché, bs General McCormick had been asked if he had any recommendations to make in the matter of decorations, and he replied that he had none, as he knew of no rule by which he could discriminate between his assist- ant commissioners and the exhibitors and jurors. Naval DISTRIBUTING THE HONORS, After M. Berger had finished M. Dietz Monin arose and “proclaimed” for the French exhibitors. Each foreign Commis- sioner General then ascended the estrade and received from the hands of Marshal MacMahon, or from the foreign princes, the diplomas and decorations accorded him. These were followed by the presidents of seven French groups. CHEERING THE CHIZY, When the Jast of the French presidents had bowed himself off the dais the diplo- matic corps/and other dignitaries ranged themselves on each side of the steps of the estrade, and the Marshal descended, hav- ing%the members of the Senate and Depu- ties on his right and left and the princes following, en cortége, On reaching the centre of the building, and just before His Excellency issued from the nave, the spec- tators burst into one spontaneous, tremend- ous cheer, mixed with ories of ‘Vive la République!” PARIS IM HIGH GLEE, The proceedings were all ovor by three o'clock. Paris, however, kept up the fétei The houses were decorated with various flags and devices, and scenes of excitement and gayety were observable everywhere. To-night the city was brilliantly iliumin- ated and all the streets were thronged. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, M. Bort, gave a grand banquet, at which the Forcign Ministers, his colleagues and many other distinguished guests were present, PRIZES OBTAINED FOR AMERICAN sGRICUL- TURAL IMPLEMENTS—THE M'COBMICK SHEA BINDER.
