FUNERAL OF ADMIRAL SIR C. ADAM AT GREEN.
wien.—The funeral of Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8.,
governor of Greenwich Hospital, took place yesterday at
noon in the burial ground belonging to the Royal Hospital.
The ceremony was divested of all pomp, and with the ex-
ception of the several officers of the institution, the only
persons forming the procession were the immediate rela-
tives of the deceased. Admiral Sir William Parker—who
is stated to have received the appointment to the vacant
post—however was in attendance. The hat and sword of
the deceased were placed on the coffin, and although it was
expected the band of the Hospital school would play a
suitable march, nothing of the kind was attempted. The
funeral service was read in an impressive manner by the
senior chaplain, the her. J. K. Ooldney. Numbers of the
old pensioners appeared much affected as the procession
passed along. The deceased was very highly esteemed by
the officers and men.
