The seats in the rotunda were soon filled and further entrance was denied The entrance of President Arthur, accompanied by Gen.

Arthur was grave and dignifed, his tall figure dwarfing that of Grant. Ex-President Hayes entered soon after and took seat next to Grant.

Inside the pavilion were six Knights Templars and squad Of Cleveland Greys on guard duty. At midnight but few sentinels and wOrkmen remained inside the guard line, though many interested people were yet upon the streets outside. The scene was sin. gularly impressive at this hour, the subdued, a- most perfect silence the bright glare of lights the ceaseless movement of the sentinels the sobbing of the wind through the trees and the shrubbery combined to create feeling of awe in the breasts of the spectators The massive structures reared so quickly in the large square seemed the work of miracle guidance, and the fact that the noble, pa triotic Garfield lay
