THE COMING PAGEANT.
New YoRK, Special Telegram, Aug. ;. the
great plateau extending over that portion OF
New York from the eastern boundary OF Cen
tral Park FOR miles up the Hudson river, to
what is known IA Manhattanyille and OF
which the Riverside Park is the western
boundary, suddenly found it's scanty popula-
ton quaarnpled before noon, and every
cross street and every avenue crowded
Riding along the Elevated railway ON the
West side, and overlooking this portion OF
| the city IL seemed as though some invading
army had landed at the lowest point ON
| Manhattan island and was driving the
populace slowly but surely into the
! ii elds or into the river Every
| street was a stream OF humanity
| on elevated trains in oyercrowded street
| ears and hastily improvised wagons, ana
along the dirty streets of this unfashionable
section OF the metropolis nothing was seen
but moving masses of women and men
Every point of land was covered by the
moving tide Many had fled 10 the unblast-
ed rocks, apparently To avoid the coming
flood OF people For miles behind was the
| apparently victorious army. Strange
| glimpses OF moving columns, broad flashes
Of scarlet coats and gold lace, the tramping
| OF many horses, the rumble of artillery
wagons, the blaze of trumpets and roll OF
drums told of the coming pageant
THE BLUE AND THE GREY ENTwTsED.
Following this apparent joining of hands
between the North and the South caYe
similar unbending between the First Aassa-
chusetts regiment and four companies OF
| Virginia troops All differences between the
| two bodies were amicably bridged when the
hero died and again the men who wore the
blue and the men who wore the gray frater-
nized as evenly as though they all had fought
! for one common cause. Whenever an organ
ization from the South passed along the line
| it was clapped and cheered The New Jer
sey troops made fine showing They were
| divided up into two brigades In the first
brigade were the FIRST, Fourth, Fifth and
Ninth regiments, the First and Second batal-
| io;,s aud Calling company In the Second
\ brigade were the Third, Sixth and Seventh
| regiments and another Gatling- gun COM
pany After that came another evidence Of
the fraternizng feeling between the North
and South Adetail Of the Fourth Massachu-
sotts regiment had become separated from
| the main body. One OF tho bands of the
Southern troops lost the company they were
| playing for in the confusion, and met the
Massachusetts boys They quickly found
| each other out and the Northerners marched
| up Broadway singing 10 the music Of the
| Southern band The band belongs to the
| Staunton GTays, and is known as the "Stone-
| wall band As the procession passed the
| Fifth Avenue hotel the Grant family, with
| the exception Of MFs. Grant. who is at Mount
McGrcgor, assembled at the windows over
| looking the street and viewed the lii,s. The
features of Col T. ID Grant so well known to
| nearly every one In the line, were especially
prominent He stood with uncovered head,
and as the veterans passed, they DOTTED their
hats in respect to the son Of their old COM
manaer
Instead of attempting to cover the whole
| front of building with cloth, il was gath
cred into masses around cornices and pillars,
and over doorways The favorite way OF
treating panels. which were sometimes tri-
angular, sometimes oblong and sometimes
| square, was by tiuting and plating the folds
running fiom the center outward A fine
example of this use of mourning was seen
at the Fifth Avenue hotel The great front
of the buildings stretch OF grayish white
stone--dispIayed no black save about and
above the front entrance. There the marble
| pillars were covered with rich-looking black
cloth, which also was spread over the cornice
and balcony above. The general color Of
the building greatly heightened the effect of
this concentrated mass of black. The HoH-
man house, Just above. and the other hotels
ON upper broadway were all draped
with tasteful displays The use of
drapery was most universal In the business
part of the city. Wall street was lined with
black from end to emu The sub treasury
was especially beautiful Black cloth
covered the pillars OF the portico aud panels
of shirred muslin hid the abutmeuts AMI the
statue of Washington IN front Heavy folds
OF black cloth, hanging from the wide cor
nices of the Mutual life insurance building
on Nassau street. the great Mills building, us
well as the Fields and the Equitable build
ings were notable examples OF the skillful
use of draperies on large scale. The porch
OF Trinity church was draped with flags
covered with Grape. and black cloth over
hung the entrance TO Grace church The
Union League club displayed a great number
OF fiags shTouded with black GA both ITS
fronts The University, the Ur.on, the New
York, and the Manhattan clubs lso displayed
many mourning emblcEa
THE LAST RESTING PLACE
Il was the extreme northern end of the yard,
a broad, rolling plateau, five hundred feet
above tho Hudson embracing twenty or
thirty acres OF new ground, that was the spot
selected for the final ceremonies 1t was
beautiful spot The level was broken by
numerous knobs topped by waving pines
At the base of the first of these was the tomb
itself The workmen had Just completed the
interior and the implements for making the
| final fastenlngs were lying on the award
| behind it In front was the heavy copper
covering for the casket and the soldering
irons were already IN the fire. There
were tw0 kpolls further 70 the
| right and ON the furthes Ola OF
these was the Claremont mansion,
its large porches completely enshrouded in
mourning. Long tables had been set here
| for the refreshment Of distinguished guests,
| but for the most part they were unused
Through the tree tops on the high bluffs in
! front Of all could DO discovered the tall
raasts IL the naval leet anchored under the
| shelter OF the shores Ear away the light
aud shade played upon the ripping waters.
and the white cottages along the distant
shores lay like snow banks in the sun. At

.tache and goatee looking like chalk marks
on his sun burned face, arrived.
PORTRAITS or THE DEAD GENERAL
yern eserywhere They represented him at
all periods Of his life from lieutenant to
recent years The absence OF drapery on
many OF the private residences along Fifth
avenue was noticeable. II was due 10 the
absence OF the householders from tbs city.
There were many signs Of mourning to day
| aside from the decoration OF buildings
There were black bordered flags ON many
street cars; and black plumes nodded above
the ears OF rough cart horses A colored boot

| stand with black, and had painted in rude
