words ofcommand, with upllited sword.
The leaders stepped forward, led by
colored men, and in an instant the black
line Of horses had Strengthened their
traces and the wheels beneath the re-
mains were moving. The hour was
9:47. The band played dirge. The
tramp Of the regulars and the honor
guard beat upon the pavements thou
sands beneath the trees and crowding
the sides of the squares looked silently
on, and the black funeral-car rolled
over the curb into Broadway. The
black corridors Of the City Hall were
silent. General Grants last journey
was begun. Then, at 1852 o'clock,
Mayor Grace, Comptroller Loew, and
Aldermen Sanger and Jaehne emerged
from the city buildings and entered
carriages that had drawn up in
front. The members Of the Com
mon Council followed and entered car
riages, as did the police commissioners.
They followed out Of the plaza as fast
as disposed Of in the carriages, and
when it was 10 o'clock the police lines
were withdrawn aud the people stream

some places is confined almost
exclusively to the broad carriage-way
and a walk for pedestrians skirting the
summit of the bluff. Early settlers of
New York used to ride out there and
admire the beautiful scenery long be-
fore the surrounding hills were dotted
with houses and the ferry-boats had
cut paths across the river. The drive
became more popular as the city be-
came more populous, and the aristo-
Gratis used to fill the Golfers of land
lords of roomy road-houses, Of which
now only one or two remain as land
marks. Carriages turn into the wide
driveway at Seyenty-second street and
ascend gradually to bluff that COM
mands splendid view Of the river
from the Palisades to Jersey City. AL
most at the beginning Of the drive
is the only piece Of territory that COM
plies with the popular idea Of a park.
The slope to the river is gradual, and
people who want to get out of the dust
may wander at will in grassy dells
shaded by a thick growth Of fine old
trees. But near Ninety-second street
this ceases, and the descent from the
bluff to the river becomes abrupt.
From this point nearly to the place of
General Grants tomb the edge Of the
bluff is skirted by solid stone wall,
with openings and steps at long dis
tances to permit persons to reach the
river-bank beneath. The views along
the drive from start to finish are striking
and picturesque. At intervals along the
road the park is wide enough to admit
Of grass-plots on either side of it, some
times mere ribbons Of greenness sepa-
rating the path for pedestrians, and in

the first mounted guard detail about the
mountain cottage the day Of General
Grants death, was also present.
The last Of the general publ; had

corridors and out Of the building. The

were present when the undertakers

CLOSING THE CAsKET.
ANY here who DOW desire TO view

said the undertaken, and his voice echoed
in the dark, still corridors. All pres

Undertaken Merritt then brushed the
glass plates above the body and drew
from their places the two lids which
cover the casket. Four screws in each
were turned down, and the face Of the

was buried.
THE REMAINS IN NEW YORK.
The remains were received in New
York by the military and officials and
vast crowd Of citizens. For days pre-
yious strangers had arrived from all
points. The city teeming population,
thus augmented by an unprecedented
influx Of visitors, were universally the
trsppings and the. suits Of woe. From
the municipal and other public build
ing and the palatial structures devoted
10 commerce and business 10 the mean
est tenement-house, emblems Of admira-
ton and grief were seen. Testimonies
of respect 30 spontaneous and general
had never before been beheld. Atleast
half million dollars had been expend-
ed by private citizens in the drapery
which clothed the city.

There is no question Of the absolute
fitness Of the site preferred. The place
on which the monument 10 the memory
Of Grant will be erected Is situated
about ten miles from the City Hall. II

than five hundred feet, and in

Sartoris stood at her mothers shoulder.

Grant leaned against the low head

Jr., stood at the foot. DR.. Douglas was
behind the Colonel. The wives of the
three sons were grouped near the foot.
Harrison was in the doorway, and the
nurse, Henry, near a remote corner.
Between them, at window, stood DR..
Sands.
Presently the General opened his
eyes and glanced about him, looking
into the faces Of all. The glance lin
gered as it met the tender gaze Of his
companion. A startled, wayering mo-
ton at the throat, few quiet gasps, a
sigh, and the appearance Of dropping
into gentle sleep followed. The eyes of
affection were still upon him. He lay
without a motion. At that instant the
window curtain swayed back in place,
shutting out the sunbeam.

the Assembly chamber, where they
were joined by the Assembly. They
then returned to the ground floor. BY
that time the head Of the procession
had reached the Washin2 n2ton-avenue
entrance, and followed on behind the
Legislature. Although the fire appa-
ratus and department did not take
part in the ceremonies, they were
drawn up in company front on
Pearl street, with the apparatus draped,
and remained in that position until
the line passed. The Albany part of
the procession was divided into three
diyisions--the first, composed Of the
military, commandedby General Joseph
Il. Carr; the second, composed of vet
erans, by General James NJ. Warner,
and the third, containing the civic or
ganizations, by Walter w. Brama.
Never before, perhaps, was Albany
more full Of visitors, and the interest of
the occasion surpassed all precedent in
a city which is normally quiet.
ON THE WAY TO NEW YORK.
The funeral train Of General Grant
left Albany for New York on August
9th.
The railroad near all centres OF popu-
la.ion was lined with people, who sig

guard consisted Of thirteen members
Of U. S. Grant Post, Of Brook

Of Saratoga, and a guard Of six from
the Loyal Legion. Others on the train
were General Hancock and his staff, DR..
Newman, Colonel Grant, and MesSrs.
Ulysses and Jesse Grant. Battery A,
Fifth artillery, Colonel Beck command

over, the duty intrusted TO them being
to usher in the day with q salute at
sunrise Of thirteen guns, TO fire there
after half-hourly until sunset, and to end
their work with a national salute Of
thirty-nine guns.
The funeral train reached Saratoga
before 2 o'clock. u was heralded by

Iwenty-hfth street, which is substan-
tally the part set aside for General
Grants restirg-place, the park widens
sgain, and gradually ascends 10 the
blum On which the monument will stand.
The carriage-ways separate into two
broad drives, which will enable visitors
to drive all around the large grass plot
where the monument will stand and ge
full view Of its every feature. Tn
ground is historic. A hotel which now
stands there was built before the Revo
luton, but II will undoubtedly have to
90 when the landscape gardener gets to
work. The monument will probabl
be very close TO the site the hotel nov
occupies, short distance above the
place chosen for the temporary tomb.
It's conspicuous location will make il
visible TO the passengers on all the Hud-
son-river boats, from the Jersey City
ferries to Yonkers.
THE TEMPORARY TOMB.
No time was lost in setting to work to
prepare for the reception Of the honored
remains. The New York Park Com
missioners were anxious as anybody to
get an early report Of the selection Of a
site made by the family. They received
q telegram about III in the forenoon an
nouncing that the family had decided
upop tho Riverside site. In about
twenty minutes from that time Mr.. j.
wrey Mould, architect, had on paper
the plan Of the temporary vault. In
less than FIVE minutes more the Com
missioners had approved the plan and
issued acquisitions for the purchase Of

filed into the open space at . O'Clock.
Company A, Fifth artillery, under Col
onel W. b. Beck, and Company +,
Twelfth infantry, under Major Brown,
the companies and guard Of regulars,
are under the command Of Colonel
Beck. The regulars took position be-
meath the trees opposite the City Hall,
and stood at a rest position. Then
came the original guard Of honor that
was on duty at Mount McGregor, and
which alone should lift the remains to-
day. Filing into the corridors OF the
City Hall, these took their places be-
side the remains.
THE FUNERAL-CAR.
At 9:25 the imposing funeral-car,
drawn by twenty-four jet-black horses
in black trapping, halted on the plaza
directly in front Of the City-Hall steps.
Inside the corridors Commander john

the materials. The temporary structure
is a rectangle twelve by seven feet in
ternal dimensions, with walls one foot
four inches thick and four feet high to
the springing Of the vault. 1t has
"barrel " roofrunning the whole length
of the structure, turned with two
rims of brick-work. The floor of the
tomb is about four feet below the
ground-level. The entrance to it is
gusrded by strong iron door four feet
wide by six feet high. The coffin rests
free on two stones or brick piers. The
structure took $4,000 bricks and l16
feet of four-inah flagging-stone. The
base and cornicss are Of bluestone.
The site affords ample facilities for
drainage, and, as will be seen from the
picture, provision has been made for
necessary ventilation.
