commanded his company to positions, Com.
pany A on the right and Company E on the

at the brides of the twenty-fOur black
horses. Sixteen men Of Meade Post,
of Philadelphia, of which Grant was a
member, were directly I'm front. The Da-
vid's Island band preceded them. The signal
was given and the line Of coaches with the
clergy moved off tho plaza OH to Broadway.
NEW YORK, August S.-The members of
the Grant family. with the exception of
Mrs. Grant, have decided to await the ar
rival of the funeral procession at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where they are staying. DR..

precisely ten o'clock the carriages drove
up to the entrance and members of the
family took seats in them. At 1880

were the carriages containing Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks and the delegation of the
