Nkiy York. May 11. Tho Journals of
this morning arc given up almost wholly
to accounts ol incidents at the Centennial
opening yesterday. The opinion Is that
the opening day is a eueees. augerhig
well for tlie exhibition. Herr Wagner's
Centennial March" has taken greatly in
the lavor ol tlie people bearing It.althoitgh
some critics think it unequal to the famous
"KaUer March" or the Huldlgrlims."
Disappointment has been expressed that
the composer had incorporated no well
known American air In the mareh, but it
now turns out that "Yankee l)ooille"eoin
poses the entire latter portion ot tlie
march.

that wise counsels should prevail rather

claim lor the nomination this year, aud

significance because ot the recent connec
