creased, and the people at noon were
dropping into line at the corner of the
| City Hall and Chambers street and
Broadway. The passage of people at the
| casket was averaging about 100 minute,
aud at l o'clock 1900 persons had
viewed the remains, seven hours having
been occupied in so doing.

in crescent across the park and along

along Chambers street to Broadway. The

Post, came on guard around the casket
at o'clock. The passage of the multi
tude into the hall was greatly hastened
during the afternoon by the police and
the veterans in charge of the body, by
permitting no lettering and telling the
people to step lively and hurry up, SO
| that some timid folks had scarcely a
chance to see the face of the dead
| general.
