The Telegraph Celebration. Military and Civic Parade. Speech of David Dudley Field. Splendid Fireworks. The City Illuminated. Torchlight Procession.
The grand Telegraph Celebration of the First of September will be long remembered as the most enthusiastic and universal jubilee ever given in New York. A splendid day gave full scope to the exuberant fancies of the people, and well did they improve their time. We gave up enough of our space to our reporters to embody a mere outline of the observances. To report all things fully would demand the whole of our forty-eight columns, with still enough to fill another Tribune left over…
At Gurney’s was exhibited a large transparency, on the left of which was represented the British lion grasping one end of the cable, and on the right the American eagle the other end. American and English flags and emblems formed the center, and in the distance the parting of the Niagara and Agamemnon was visible. Beneath were the words:
“Capt. Preedy. Cyrus W. Field. Capt. Hudson. Agamemnon. Daguerre and Morse. Niagara. The one harnessed the light, the other light-ning. May the continuity of the cable be as perpetual as the ray of our sun.”
Brady also exhibited a large transparency representing Queen Victoria and Young America in conversation. Beneath were representations of suns, and the letters “V.” “B.;” between which, Neptune, still holding his trident, was chained…
The Depot of Photographic Art Materials, No. 424 Broadway, was adorned with a transparency inscribed,
“Morse, Field and Hudson—Three cable mates—
Have made all nations The United States.”
Seeley & Garbanati exhibited a colored photograph of Cyrus W. Field on a scale of over 28 feet for the full-length figure. This is the first photograph ever attempted of a size larger than life.
