At IL o'clock there were visible signs of
activity all over the city, for by that time
it was certain that Notwithstanding the
mud and the prospects that there might
be rain at almost any moment, and at l
O'Clock the fire bell began to ring for the
purpose of calling the fire department to-
gether. The band from Fort Russell ar
rived and there was a general gathering
and mastering of the various organiza-
tions that were to march in the process
sion in all directions. At the G. A. R.
headquarters in the Masonic hall,
Reynolds Post gathered, while the
Sons of Veterans mustered further
west on Sixteenth street. By o'clock J..
K. Jeffrey, the marshal of the day, and
his aids J. P. Julien, j. NJ. Tompkins,
NJ. c. Barkwell and Major Talbot,
assisted by Chief Hannifan and
other officer of the fire department, had
wrought order out of apparent chaos and
the line was formed and ready to move

which was a long one, commenced to
move toward the cemetery in the follow
ing order:

especially after it emerged from the city
into the open prairie, where the Grand

slope, presented a very imposing appear
ance.

To cross the stream that lies beside
The resting place OF they who died.
That our land may truly be

Who braved the battles fury, when

To tear the storied banner down
That born o. heavens starry crown
These self-same heroes freely gave
Their blood and best Young wears TO save.
Not while in memory shall last
And while The songs NE used to sing
Shall tune the heart and round it ding.
Remembrance OF toilful DAYS
OF dangers dark or happy ways
That led US long Il rugged life
,fwixt fequcnt fields OF fearful strife,
Where mewing ball and ser eching shell
Seemed part the orchestra OF hell
Where gallant rides Of heroes down
Brought victory back to way ring ranks
And slnOte with death the CALLING iianEs

From riumph' flush to ruins rOut,
And changed the changing fOeman'S yell
To sorrOwful disaster iell,
To plant the cleaning stripes and stars

After the delivery of this truly able and
eloquent address, which was listened to
with profound interest by the vast tLrong
assembled, the president of the day an
nounced that Rev. E. S. Chapman would
invoke the Divine blessing. The prayer
made by DR.. Chapman was truly an elo-
quent and feeling one and it touched
every soldiers heart there present. Judge
Fisher announced that the exercises were
then concluded but that further services
commemorative OF the memory of the
departed comrades would be held in the
Baptist church in the evening. The bene-
diction was then pronounced by the Rev.
George G. Rafter, of the Episcopal church,
and the procession commenced to wend its
way slowly out of the cemetery, down the
hill and was soon pouring along the streets
of the city to the sound of martial music.

William Muldoon, the noted wrestler,
was in the city for a few hours yesterday,
the guest of his fnthcr-in-l law, Mr.. D.
Ullman. Mr.. Muldoon has Just returned
to the West from an extended tour
through the Pacific Coast states, New
Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Louisiana.
He is in most excellent physical condition.
He left last evening for Denver, and goes
thence to Cincinnati, where he wrestles
with a Mexican, who has lately entered the
arena as n physical wonder. After this
match Muldoon will go on to Chicago,
where he will make an effort to encounter
the Japenese athlete, Matsudi. Muldoon
is one of the very few athletes whom it is
a pleasure to meet and converse with, while
his ability as a wrestler is such that none
can successfully discount it.

At the Baptist Church.

Contrary to the general expectation
those who had taken so much pains and
trouble to go up to the cemetery and be
present during the exercises in the after
noon were not wearied, and in the even
ing the Baptist church was not only filed
to overlooking, but many, as our reporter
afterward learned, went away, not being
able to effect an entrance to the church.
Judge Fisher again presided, and Just
previous to the opening of the meeting
he had placed in his hands an amended
programme for the evening. The Grand
Army attended in a body in full uniform,
as in the day exercises, and a special choir
consisting of Miss Hollister, Miss Lulu
Whipple, Mrs. Chas. Masten and Messrs.
D. f. and |. G. Whipple appeared on the
occasion, while Miss Julia Lusk, and part
Of the time Professor lnman, presided at
the organ. We have not the space to
give much more than an outline of what
was done.
The services opened by a voluntary by
the choir, after which prayer was offered.
Judge Fisher hen introduced Rev.
George Brown, who proceeded to deliver an
interesting address, in which he went on
to state hat the su]fferings of the war were
not confined simply to the North or our
own country-France, Germany and other
countries had felt the effects of the late
war-thut is people there had suffered

At the City cemetery for some
days previous to yesterday, more
or less work had been done for
a week or more by members of the G. A.
r. post in order to have everything ready
for the decoration exercise. The graves of
all Union soldiers, so far as known, had
been singled out and small flags inserted
with the name of the dead soldier, had
been planted on each grave which was to
be decorated. A lot had been purchased
by the post for the use of the Grand
Army, and a monument made of wood,
but painted and grainedi in perfect imita-
ton Of marble, had been moved to the lot
in question and raised there. This monu-
ment was surmounted with a small silk
banner, wreathed with evergreens and the
following inscription placed upon it, TO
the memory of our departed comrades "
also, Their warfare is over" and in
every way the most perfect preparation
had been made for the occasion.
