OMAHA, June 1..—Amid the music-of a hundred bands, the cheers of 2 hun- dred thousand - people, the blast . of many whistles and:the waving-of in- nunierable flags- the Transmississippi Exposition was dedicated this morning. At 9:30 o'clock the great civic parade started on its march from ‘the center of ‘the ity to the grounds. ~The National | ‘Marine Band led the splendid pageant, and.a hundred musical organizations |‘from .the various States of the Middle West .contributed to the occasion. The parade was three miles long, consisting of the officers and guests of the expo- sition in carriages, the semi-military organizations and all the secret socie- ties of this and adjacent States.” The special trains continued to unload their crowds until the railroad - men esti- mated that at least 100,000 people had arrived. ‘These, mingled with the citi- zens of Omaha, formed one solid pha- lanx-along the route of the parade for tén miles. Rev. Dr. Nichols of St. Louis opened the exerkises at’ the grounds with an appeal to- “Him who -doeth all things well” “to ‘shower his blessings on the | enterprise and the people of the trans- | m ssippl region.
