DeputatiOus from various departments
are immense. Fhey are masaed in the
Place des Invalides, and along the Quai

area OF 25 600 metres is a dense mass of
spectators, majority of whom have
been in position half the night. They
occupy the street all the way TO the
cemetery. The remainder of the city is
deserted.
Gambetta's father, after mature 70

civil one. The funeral car has Just Az

colonnade. Il is preceded by six horse
men in black and white uniforms. The
car is drawn by six horses. The coffin

again partially hidden by the tri-colors,
draped with Grape and two nstural
palms with wreaths of red immortelles.
