flowers ana plants crossed by the South ferry from
New York to Brooklyn and proceeded to the Gene

tors and together the work OF decoration was gone
through In silence and sadness.

DECORATION DAY IN BROOKLYN.

The nags OF Brooklyn yesterday noatcd 'half-

private dwelling houses. Business in the several
departments Of the city and county government
was totally suspended The schools were not in
session. The Catholic churches were numerously
attended-it being the feast Of Corpus Christi--in
the forenoon. The prospect presented from
meteorological standpoint at an early hour In the
morning was not calculated to dispel the doubts as
to the weather engendered by the s0mbre leaden
clouds which lowered upon all sides. Shortly after
nine O'Clock the rain commenced to fall, and SOL
diers Of the National Guard who were moving to
and fro along the streets in their bright uniforms
were compelled to seek shelter beneath awnings
and In doOrways, from which they looked dolefully
ont, vainly hoping that the shower would soon be
over, to enable them to "turn Out' according to
orders and their desire. But the rain continued
and copous showers poured down for five hours
upon the verdure-cad hillockS OF the gallant dead
in the cemeteries, giving them brighter coat OF
green, as II to make compensation for the absence
of great profusion OF flowers and the deferred
ceremonies.
