No music was IN the line, but the
procession, as it slowly moved. down
the avenue, presented a magnificent
ly imposing appearance. The door
steps of all the houses along the av
enue, without exception, were thicklJ
crowded. Windows and balconies
we're full. Hotels, club houses, and
public buildings of all kinds present
ed a sea of human faces. The gath
ering was greater than the multitude
which welcomed the Grand Duke
Alexis, or watched the funeral of Abra
ham Lincoln. From DR.. Chapin's
church to Madison Square, a distance
of just mile, the avenue was nearly
blockaded. On the outer edge of the
sidewalk the crowd were huddline
two and three deep. On the wall
within there was barely room to pass
In Madison Square, and on the
space before Fifth Avenue Hotel
the concourse was still greater. Al
along Broadway, from Fourteenth
street, through which the procession
moved, to Hamilton Ferry, there was
a dense mass of people. About Bowl
ing Green, the Battery, and Ferry
House, the crowd still stood patient
Iy waiting. On the Brooklyn side
the same scenes were repeated. Along
Union street to Fourth avenue, and
down the avenue to the cemetery
stretched the wonderful double lines
of watchers. At Greenwood there
was a still more surprising sight
Here an enormous concourse haC
gathered, standing about the entrance
gates, and fringing the winding roads
and concentrating about the toper
grave, SO that the momners, wher
the cortege arrived, had the greatest
difficulty in following the hearse.
DIR. Chapin's Church had been ap
propriately decorated. Over the
door in front hung a flag draped VI
with black. In the vestibule was the
portrait Of Mr. Greeley, with Grape
around the frame. The screen be
hind the pulpit was covered with
black cloth, hanging in graceful folds
and relieved by festoons, while from
the top oft depended graceful strings
of smilax. The pulpit itself and the
rail in front were fully draped. Drap
cry ran around the front of the gal
leries, and from bracket to bracket
along the side walls. Lengths o.
serge dropped from the center of the
ceiling to the spring of each arch.
twined about the columns and hung
from the pinnacles Of the organ.
The clock was stopped at ten min
utes before Z, the hour of Mr.. Gree
leys death. It was surrounded with
black, and above it in a green wreath
was white cross of flowers. The
pew which Mr.. Greeley used to oc
cupy, about midway up the north ais
lie, next the wall, was draped witt
Grape. The figure, in flowers of 6
Tyre, with broken strings, hung at the
