He had lectured and preached ninety-six times in ninety days, and had numerous invitations, which he bad been compelled to decline. He expressed pleasure at getting back, and said, that he was anxious to get to his old work again. A reception is to be given him in his church on Friday evening, in which tbe|mayor of Brooklyn, Justice Neil son, who presided over the Beecher trial, and other prominent persons will take part.

' The Decorations. The city to-day, compared with itself on he 4th of July, might be said to stand as it would in comparison of the Fourth with ordinary days. Never, perhaps, has Indianapolis looked bo In autiful in this way. With good taste, the antiquated arch, which is made to do duty on occasions like this, obstructing the view and impeding locomotion, has been omitted. Nothing interferes with tbe^sweep of the eye up and down the broad streets, the buildings on either side fluttering with multitudes of flags and hung thick with rich festoons of parti-colored'cloth and and the fresh evergreen, while, overhead on cross lines from side to side the waving folds of broad banners, “the star spangled’’ and the impromptu kind, add to the attractiveness of the scene; and here and there the advertising banner of the thrifty merchant, telling the virtues of a threshing machine or setting forth the durability of certain wearing apparel, suggest the combination of business and pleasure. The chief characteristic of the decorations is color. There is little of the emblemalic and little attempt at design, beyond the unity of purpose required by the building, that is separately treated; and nearly every building is so treated. There is no union of many establish meats in the decoration of blocks. With perhaps one exception, each person has put forth his effort alone, to stand upon its own merits. The quality of the decorations is generally artificial—boughs and branches and evergreens being called into qse—and everywhere the ground work, or piece de resistance, is the national banner, which thrusts itself upon the eye from the size of a Dutvrfly to the largest known to the trade. Toe center of decoration might be said to be at the postpffice, from which, looking to}*ard ibe cardinal points of the compass, such a wealth of wreaths, festoons, flags, banners and drapery meet the eye as to become ■’most one indistinguishable mass when the wind blows. In a square and a half on Pennsylvania street, up from Washington, five immense flags span the street; one just at the corner of Market, one north of it and three south of it. Off toward Delaware on Market hang three more. From the top of the postcffice waves a large one, another from the top of Wright's block on Market street, another from the Bates block on Pennsylva nia street, another from the .FUna building, oee from Odd Fellows hall, another across the street from the Vance block, another opposite from Fletcher A Sharpe’s block— every building and the air are thick with them. The post office itself is sui generi, its decorations are almost exclusively of evergreen; being in this particular alone. From the top of the flag staff waves a fine flag; over the cornice, laid at full length, and hanging half over, are im mense flags; from window to window, in graceful festoons, the long lines of green curls, drooping w a single curve on the bare spaces, when aathe lowest point a shield, with email flags crossed- under it is enveloped. At the windows the wreath makes a double loop, the lower one reaching the sill where it circles another shield aud flags, and the upper one swinging free about half way down. Each floor is treated in this manner until the lower one ia reached, which is relieved by a straight stretch of wreath across the whole building like a cornice. Between the windows on this floor on the Market street side, cirresponding to the shields that decorate the wall above, are life size portraits of the president wreathed in green and decorated with small flags. On this side of the building even with the windows of the first floor is the balcony from which Mrs. Hayes viewed the procession, it was handsomely carpeted, and around the rail .a very large flag, stretched with suitable trappings, making a decoration very rich in its simplicity. Opposite, the Journal office is handsomely decorated with small flags. Next it, (Vrights Block is a sample of Hag decoration as elaborate as the post office is of evergreen work. The handsome brown frontls almost invisible from the mass of flags of ail sizes, relieved at points with shields. In the windows on the fiist floor, now and then is a portrait of the president and of Washington, peeping out from a mass* of flags, and framed at the lines of the window with.i drapings of red, white and blue cloth. k Further down Market street, toward Deleware, the buildings are all rich with flags and shields, and some with festoods of tri-colored doth. West on Market street to the Circle, the most striking object is The . News office and the adjoining building of the Journal company. They are covered with a profusion'of flags with shields and portraits of the president. AtTbe turning of the building at the Circle street corner, the tower front is a striking object. Long loops of tri color depend from ihe too, falling in graceful folds to the first story, flags and emblems are tastefully placed in relief, and just over the door is a perfect banner of evergreens. Around the Circle the hotel building of Mrs. Rhodius is handsomly decorated. Broad bands of red, white and blue cloth are draped across the front at the cornice and over the first floor, and from every window flutter flags and banners, while the intervening Space is covered with shields and portraits 'of the president. On Meridian street, leading down to Washington the buildings are trimmed with flags, while a large one hang* over the street between the Sentinel office and the publishing bouse. Down Pennsylvania street to Washington evenr window in every building flutters with flag* Over Friedgen’s in the .Etna building, and over others are broad tri colored bankers as in the Bates block. The general character of the decorations on Washington street, east from Pennsylvania is the small flag, numerous but monotonous in <the simple arrangement of hanging from the windows. West the fame thing prevails, but here and there something besides this catches the oye. Perry, the druggist, has strings of flags overhead, from window to curb. On the -other side of the street Messrs. Pettis, Ivers k Co. have effectively treated the large building of the New York ttore. From the old watch tower on top floats a flag and around the balconv of it tri colored cloth hangs in heavy folds Across the facade at the cornice are broad bands of red, white and blue, and beneath the windows of each story heavy draperies of the same color, tastefully relieved with flags and shields. On the north ride in the same square the decorations aver the door of the Taney Bazaar attract attention. They are of the usual design, of heavy fold* of tri color, but are un usually rich and graceful. Messrs

Cloae A Wasson bang from the cornice of the new Bee Hive a broad band of red,white aud blue, and from every window a multitude of small flags, uniform in size and limitless in number. Bowen, Stewart k Co. have entwined the pillars that stand on each of the four floors of their building wilh red, white . and blue doth, while from the top like a valance bangs a band of the same color. From the windows project the flags of all nations; between them are shields and portraits. Becker flies a large flag from his balcony, which stands full of growing planta. The Center-piece is an eagle, life-size, holding a portrait of the President, matted in vine leaves and bunches of red berries. Albert Gall has his whole store front covered with a sheeting of color, the third story red, the middle story white, and the first blue. The whole is wreathed with evergreen, and around both doors and each window are wreaths of the same, and between many bows of tri-color holding small flags, across the whole front is - blazoned “Albert Gall’s Welcome to Indianapolis.’’ Charles Mayer k Co. hang over the entrance a large picture of the Goddess of Liberty. From each window of the tall building depend flags and tri-colored banners, while from the top falls a huee flag. L. S. Ayres k Co. produce a striking effect wilh their large front, with long pennant, six feet or more, from-every window. They are of the various colors, and bear the designs of the chief nations of the world. Over the waj Rivet A Partridge have filled their lofty building with a multitude of flags, and so it goes- down to Illinois street, where the Illinois street front of tfce Bates house arrests attention by a quantity of flags so great that no man can number them. The building has a perfect star spangled banner small pox. it has broken out |in every conceivable place. Down Washington street amid a mass of flags from every front, Spiegel k Thoms’s attracting attention by three large bands, one of red, one of white, and another of blue, which they havestretched perpendicularly down their store front from the cornice to the first floor. The effect is enhanced by a tasteful disposal of flags. From here on it is flags, flags, everywhere, the state offices showing the largest. Doubling back to Illinois street and going toward the depot, the Occidental hotel strikes the eye with its balconies effectively decorated with large flags » u ,i colored banners. Further down the Grand hotel entrance arrests attention. It is one of the best decorated in small pieces of the day. The lump posts at the curb are wreathed with green leaves. The large pillars on either side tha entracc are wreathed with flags and evergreens, which hang in graceful loops from the balcony above to the top of the pillars. On the balconv is a profusion of broad-leaved tropical plants. Around the balreuy is a rich draping of tricolor, while from window to Window hang festoons of evergretn. Inside the large oflice is a perfect bower of evergreen, while a handsome drapery over the entrance to the stairway holds in its center a shield with the w ord “welcome’’ upon it. The Spencer house, at the comer of Louisiana street, and the buildings leading down to it are thick with flags. Louisiana street , over to Meridian, is profusely decorated in the same way. On Meridian is a view looking north from the depot that contests the palm with the post office center for the elaborateness and profusion of its decoration. Across the street in the three squares to Washington street four large flags depend and a large “Welcome” banner, while from every building such a wealth a color in flags and banners and shields as to bewilder the sight. Fahnley k McCrea have made their handsome stone front conspicuous with long festoons of solid red, white, blue and color, and small flags, making streamers of them, which extend from the roof of the first floor. At every point flags fly, and the windows are full of ’em. Opposite five stores in a block have combined to decorate the whole front—the only example of the kind in the city. The material is the tri colored banner atd flag-streamer. I. S. Gorton k Co., have de.coraud their building iu au attractive way. McKee k Branham have small flags hanging from a colored rope which depends from the cornice and swings free, making a unique decoration. Hibben, rattison k Co. have their stare tastefully trimmed with streamers made of uncut flags. Murphy, Johnston &-Co. are conspicuous for the heavy tricolor streamers which cover their store front. On the line of march there is nothing noticeable'until Delaware street, north of New York, is reached, where, at the intersection, the fire headquarters stand out with evergreen wreaths and flags. Up the street nearly every house is decorated. Some with a multitude of small flags; others with the broad tri-colored bands which disposed over balcony rails and hanging from windows, produce with the green of the well-kept yards for which Indianapolis is noted, a pleasing effect. The double house of Gen. Terrell and Dr. Funkhouser is noticeably tasteful, wit h festoons, of evergreens over the doors, holding small sheaves of wheat. .Between the windows bang crowns of evergreen. Two squares further up, D. H. Wiles has the only arch in the city. It stands in his yard facing the street, richly trimmed with evergreens and red white and blue, and surmounted with a portrait of tbe president. Between the arch and just to the rear, like a background, is a large bed of flowers and plants, with varied colored blossoms, and bright, rich colored leaves. On the way to the exposition flags fly and banners ware. Chinese lanterns and shields and portraits appear. Geo. D. Emery’s handsome house flies a flag from the top and shows fine decorations below. General Harrison’s house is hung with flags. From the center depends the largest one, which was the.one his regiment carried through tlje war, while over the door hangs his brigade flog, which likewise saw service. The laduntrlat Parade. The day opened augpicloualy. The tierce heat. f the sun wa* jut derated by a pleasant breeae, and the weather waa as ptopitiouaaml invit ng aa could have been asked. Very early in the morning the city waa astir. Such decorations as were incomplete were finished, while ail along the route of the procession men and women, girls and Hoys, were busily at work embellishing their houses. From one end of tbe line of march to the other tbe buildings were fairly buried in a sea of fluttering flags, here and there relieved with evergreen festoons and not a ft w portraits of the principal guest of the occasion. Those who were intending to take part in the demonsttation began the work of getting ready and repatiing to the places of rendezvous as early as eight o'clock. It was not long until it bectme quite apparent that the pageant would be much greater than had l>een anticipated; and that it would prove an unwieldy thing to move promptly according to program. Aid* galloped hither and thither with orders from their chiefs, wo-king hard and faithfully to evoke the l»eet possible order out of the heterogeneous mass. The ends of the

industrial serpent, found absolutely “ - J,

it

necessary „ to move before the ’ third aud

the Urst division lore b fourth were fairly form- d.

At teno’cloek the light infantry, preceded bv Belstenherz’s band and their drum corpt, marched to the Grand hotel and escorted Mrs Hares to the stand erected on the north side ef the post oflice building, whence she was to view the parade. They then acted as escort for president Hayes and General tsberman to Masonic ball, from which point their carriages assumed theii plices in the civic division. The procession moved at about It o’clock, and observed the line of march along Washington streetto Fast street, north on East id Market, west on Market around the Circle, east [on Market to East, north on east to New York, west on New York to iHdaware and thence noithtothe fairgrounds On North Delaware street, near 8t Mary street,the procession was reviewed by I’realdent If*yes and

Gen. Sherman.

Tbe parade waa a grand affair, and some of the displays reflected the utmost credit noon the taste aud enterprise of their designers, while the whole aflair, from beginning to end, is Indisputable evidence that the old vim and sp rit of other day* again animate the business and industry of Indianapolis, as well as that the management of the aflair has been in competent and liuav hands. Tbe day will be long remembered by the thousands and ccorea of thousands who had the opportunity to be in the city. The distinguished guests of Indianapolis know now what a royal Hoosb-r welcome and demonstration mean. Well might Gen. Sherman say to the president that Indianapolis would surely not dissppotat him. He has seen no such ottpouri g of people at any point m,Thi, tour, nor nowhere a^tithe of the preparation

to nonor bis presence.

The third division was the longest one in the procession, and was formed almost entirely of the displays nf giocersaud commission merchants. It was intended that this division should be composed of 296 we goes, but it fell about 100 short of that. Owing to the admfrabie management of the marshal and his efficient staff the division was formod without any great amount of confuson. It extended from the intersection of Tennease aud Washington street* north on Tennessee to Michigan streets—five squares o’ wagons. 'She greater part of the parade was composed of grocers' wagons and drays plainly -decorated with strips of hunting denoting the name and occupation of the owner.

XLXIIIBITS AND DISPLAYS. The enormous crowds of to-day made the whole fair, both in and out of tbe buildings, a chaoe of coniurion. The most marvellous display waa that of people who simply flowed in current* through alt available channels without intermission or cesralien. But hundreds on hundreds of the throngs would halt in spite of the crowding to admire the sugar candy display of DAGGETT A CO., Which is conspicuous on the right of the ascent to the north corridor.

Then the Urge and handsome case is filled and quite artistically arranged with stick, drawn, nut, fancy, fiuit and drop candies. All these are pure and unadulterated sugars, both delicious and I eautiful- It is to be noted that this creditable

MERRILL, UrnBARD A CO. It is difficult to tell where to begin in the mention of this firm’s display to-duy, whether at the Exposition ball, where they seem to har# assumed ail the beaulilul fonns of which books and stastationery are capable, or in their street parade, in which they have three wagons which are most elaborately fitted up, or yet iu the drooratlon of their store front, wnlch called forth from many a psswr-by the.exclamation, “the prettieat front on the street.” In their'triune display they have certainly attained ubiquity. Their street perfoimance reaches its climax in a mammoth wa.on Waring aloft a form which old soldiers will recognize as the A tent. To. others It la the slant roof of a bouse rising to a point, and furnishing a vast amount of surface, every square foot of which Is made to quiver with some n^w design. This huge i ar of merchandise is devote I to the childrens’ department in juveritb hook?, which are to t?< ked on as to keep a constant flutter of their Illuminated and pictured page* as the immense wsgon moves in the procre-lon. The attmUve display .if the store front, No. S.
