Along Canal street there were but few stores that
displayed any decorations deserving notice. Most
| OF the houses were draped with simple bands of
white and black linen, but that was. all. The side
walks were lined with people, but most Of these
seemed casual observers the greater part OF the In
tending spectators having, apparently, preferred to
take up position on Broadway. So. although there
were unbroken lines OF sightseers on each side of
the street, while at the crossing places OF the va
rlous streets there was dense block Of vehicles
there was still plenty Of room for passers-by walk
along under the houses.
BROADWAY.
4 At last the procession slowly turned the
corner OF Canal street and debouched into Broad
: way. Here the spectacle was, perhaps one
OF the most imposing and striking that
could be witnessed. Standing In the centre
OF the street, and looking up the long and undev
4ating course of this the most beautiful thorough

erecuons, gaudy with the ensigns OF thousand
walks Of peaceful industry Flags At reyerent half,

occasion. Forgetting for moment the discomfort
caused to the spectators, and the absolute misery
inflicted upon the men who had turned out in the
display, by the incemency OF ptiless sky. the eye

GUS sense OF pleasure ut its outlines, as they grew
more and more blurred as the gaze wandered fur
hidden In bank Of white mist.
REVERENCE FOR THE DEAD.
Moving along with almost painful sOwneSs, the
procession marched up Broadway amid the BOOM

as the bier passed Q subdued and rcvcrent air
seemed to pervade the crowd. The silence was
almost unbroken, and what little talk there was
rarely rose above a low murmur Nothing, indeed,
could have been In better taste than the general de-
meanor q the people ana nothing could have illus.
accton that the ilustrious services and virtues Of
the dead hero had enabled him to win.
