The report of the Superintendent of Pub- lic Works on the canals of the State fo r tbe year ended September 30 , 1883 , and on trade and tonnage of the canals fo r the entire year o f 1888, shows a total expenditure of 3742,26! Prior to the opening of the canals the boatmen insisted on higher rates than ship pers were willing to pay. ,While the cqptest was being waged railroad managers stepped In and secured the carrying of the grain The short crops, causing a decreased export trade, also worked against an increased canal tonnage.* Then, again, i i e Hutchinsoh wheat corner retarded Shipments.’ The number of new boats registered for the year is 85 . Shipments from Buffalo during the year are as follows. Wheat, 1 5.- ;657,511 bushels; rye, 333 ,745 bushels; corn. 17 ,646,796 bushels; barley, 66,217 bushels; barley malt, 68 ,087 bushels; oate, 4 ,8'b7 .630 bushels; peas and beans, 83 ,255 bushels; total, 38,172,161 bushels. In addition to tbe foregoing there were shipped 4945 barrels of flour and 14,656,044 pound of flaxseed. Frpm the Hudson River between Albany andCoxsackie 195,416 cubic yards,of ma- terial have been dredged during tne past season, against 1 13,660 In 1837 and 94,283 in 1836. The Superintendent renews 'his suggestion of last year—that the bottom of the canal should commajffl attention. The gradual accretion ofc^ilt year after year baseaused'a gradujbdfminution in the depth of water, which, of course, interfere with navigation and, should be remedied. G o v e rn o r H i l l I ita n c u ra te d . A fter an elaborate parade Governor H ill was'eseorted to the Assembly Chamber to be inaugurated again as Governor of New York State. The procession got itself into marching order about 10:30 o’clock, and came swing- ing up State street past the Capitol at quick step to the music of many bands, tbe Thirteenth and Twenty-second regiments in the van, and presenting a magnificent appearance, as file after file of the National Guardsmen marohed by, radiant in their new overcoats, and with arms all polished and bristling I t became gratifyingly apparent that the New York State National Guard bad been brought to a higher degree of efficiency fa recent years than it ever showed before. This parade proves the right •to be proud of the citizen soldiery of New York. The uniforms and accouUterments of every company in line were in perfect con- dition. In movement and discipline i t was fairly a question whether the honors rested more w ith the metropolitan - regiments than w ith tho separate companies of the interior cities^ The State troops were followed by the vet- erans under the command' o f Depart- ment Commander Curtis, o f tbe G. A. R. They turned out several hundred strong,'presenting a fine appearance. They were followed by the political-clubs; dressed generally in dark clothes-and wearing derby bats. Some carried miniature flags and othera canes, and altogether they were not an ineffoctivo feature of, the procession. Tho entire parade oecupied th irty minutes, in passing a given point, indicating tho presence of about 7000 men in lino. I t was somewhat behind its scheduled time as i t returned to the Capitol ■ and passed under jcoviow by the Governor and bis staff. The latter then hurried across tb e great building to the Assembly Chamber, in which a great audience had packed itself to see the ceremony o f oatb takiag. Mr. •Gilraore’3 band, located fa one Of the little galleries which the recent reno- vation has-added to the chamber, played“ H ail to tho Chief” as the procession filed in to tho chamber from the Speaker's ‘ room.
