endless line until o'clock. when Captain
Beatty, of the park police, ordered his men
to close the passageway made by their lines,
and to remove the crowd from the vicinity Of
the tomb. There were then remaining not
less than 1000 persons within sound
Of a pistol SHOT, fully half of whom had
not had chance to PASS in front Of the
tomb, and nearly all Of those who had not
passed wanted to do so. The police acted
with dispatch, and within fifteen minutes
from the entrance to the tomb in front. and
also the chained enclosure on the slope above
and behind. After this the gathering
dwindled fast, although enough yet remained
to make a large crowd, probably 1900 per-
sons.
A group of men had been waiting for an
hour OF longer under tree just back of the
tomb. One of them kept his
hand on an iron machine about the size
of haycutter and resembling haycutter
in its scoop and wheel Another stood
at barrel filled with soft coal. Several
boxes lay near. Tho men were oil from the
Franklin Iron works, of Troy, where the steel
case was made. Their apparatus like hay
cutter was a portable blast furnace, thu
wheel propelling the fan beneath the scoop
in which the coal was to burn. The boxes
contained the fifty wrought iron rivets that
were to be put in the steel case and that were
to fasten it to its stone foundation, with the
tools for that work When the crowd was
cleared away the men carried their apparatus
within the tomb. The blast furnace was set up
and started between the steel case and the door.
All Of the men worked inside the tomb. The
riveting began at about Gas 1t was small
place for so many men, and work proceeded
slowly By O'clock, however, the work was
over and the workmen emerged. The tomb
was then closed and left to the care of Cap
tain J. A. Fessenden, with Battery H, Fifth
Artillery, who have pitched camp under the
trees in sight of the tomb expecting to re-
main there at least thirty days. Captain
Beatty also detailed a squad Of men to the
neighborhood for the night
The crowd that watched the beginning Of
the work of the men with the rivets grew
rapidly less after sunset and had dwindled to
100 or so when the tomb was closed. Many
of the late arrivals were we'll dressed ladies.

An Immense 's'hrong Waitin, II a.
tienllY ALI DaY in the sun

Before the dew was off the grass people
living far up town began to pick out choice
situations for viewing the final ceremonies in
Riverside PARK Rather than struggle with
the crowds in the streets downtown they pre-
ferred to wait all day in the sun and get a
good look at the closing scenes. Whole fami-
lies, bringing lunch with them, took posses
sion of shade trees on the bluff and sat down
full of compliment satisfaction, feeling as
sured that, once having passed the boundary
line of the park the police would never take
the trouble to drive them all out again. In
this they were sadly-nistaken.
Before Q o'clock Capt. Beatty sent his gray
coated policemen around the park with in
structions to send everybody not fortified
with a permit beyond the sidewalks skirting
the eastern limit OF the drive. The disap-
pointed early corners begged. pleaded, and
entreated, but the policemen had strict orders
and were memorable. Thus a long line of
people, with their toes en- the inner edge OF

the Chamber of Commerce, the New York
Historical society, the Union League club, the
Aztec club a committee of ex-Confederate
veterans, United States Christian commission,
former diplomatic and consular officers, the
Grant Monument association, the Citizens
Law and Order league. and the Chamber Of
Commerce of New Haven, all had delegates
in carriages. Following Them in carriages
also, were representatives of the various New
York commercial exchanges, many Of the
carriages being distinguished by banners
bearing the titles Of the organizations. There
under command of Colonel Charles G. Otis.
In the carriages were representatives of the
county committee, the Young Mems Repub-
iican clubs of New York, of Kings county, of
Jersey City, and of Baltimore, and of the
Lincoln League of the Third Ward Lincoln
club.
The Sons Of Veterans turned out 500 strong.
The Knights of Pythias wore striking uni
FORM and moved with marked precision as
did also the Knights of Sherwood Forest.
The Order of United American Mechanics
was represented by Excelsior Council No. IA,

ton. The Association of Exempt Firemen and
the Volunteer Firemens association had in
their ranks large delegation of the men who
IN olden days were the pride Of all New
Workers, and they carried themselves like
veterans. Their marching was SO good that
it elected subdued applause from those on
the sidewalks.
From estimates gathered during the pas
sage of the colunn the number Of persons in
line will fall little short of fifty thousand
men, This number was made up as follows
General Hancock and staff and United States
army, Navy and Marine corps, $500 men;
General Shaler's column Of National Guard
from New York and other States, armed vet
Grams and other organizations, 10000 men;
General Sickies' column of veteran associa-
tions and posts of the Grand Army, $4,000
men General McMahon's column of civic or
CARNATIONS and delegations, $500 men; Col
onel Hodges column of officials and mour-
ners, i'll carriages, 5000 mon; aids and
mounted men, 500.
During the passage of the procession the
streets of the city other than those immedi-
.ate!y in the vicinity of the moving column
were almost deserted. From dense crowds
along the line, recruited from the suburbs
and from distant towns and Cities it is a fair
estimate to say half million people were
speeta ors Of the funeral procession of Gen
eral Grant.

the pavement, was formed from the east crest
of the bluff at the end Of the park as far as
the eye could reach down the drive. First it
was single line, soon it doubled, then it
trebled until the shoals Of new arrivals that
came tramping across the meadows in the
rear, vending their way through the dusty
streets and taking short cuts over fences and
across private yards, swelled it to an army.
All footsteps tended to the same point-the
tomb on the hilltop.
1t was marvellous to see the people come
Men and women were hurrying on foot, drag
though they had not minute to lose, although
the body Of the great man whose coffin they
were all out on purpose to see had not yet left
the City Hall. In cabs, in carts. in buses,
in numbering trucks, in horse cars or any
thing that would run on wheels, the multi
rode being invariably determined by the
capacity of the vehicle and not by the physi-
cal endurance of the horses. AS the
line stretched further and further
down the edge of the drive
toward Seventy second street, policemen
were stretched out in front Of them, few
feet apart. 1t was remarkable sight, even
for New Yorker, to see straight line of
blue coats and brass buttons nearly three
miles long stemming back as effectually as a
stone breakwater sets a limit to the tide the
turbulent, pushing crowd of human beings
Dellnu Cnem. VOC TO the man or woman
that tried to cross the sidewalk. At the
street corners the thoroughfare was kept open,
but no vehicles We're allowed to roll into the
park drive, nor could the wagons come to a
standstilI at the street line
By ~ o'clock, when the first gun from the
war ships on the river announced to the crowd
that the great pageant was on its march,
even people in the rear could not find places
to stand between 122d and 127th streets, SO
they began to broaden out the lima down to-
ward the city almost out Of sight of the
tomb. At any time, however, till the flu
neral procession entered the park good places
were not hard to find along the lower end of
the drive The minute guns on the war ships
had been marking the steady progress of the
procession for two hours before the men
working on the tomb dropped their
tools and left everything in readiness for re-
ceiving the body. So many little details, not
considered in the hurry and hustle of prelim-
mary preparation, remained to be attended TIC
that the workmen never ceased their labors
through the night, and continued right on
till noon, with the exception OF a brief rest
for hurried breakfast The little Runic
cross that surmounts the entrance to the
vault, instead of being left an olive-green
color, the same as the iron gate, was finished
off in maroon and gilt The large letter 'sG'
on the gate was gilded also. The carpenters
were the last men to quit work, after putting
down platform 125 feet long directly front
ing the tomb and about fifty feet from it,
amply provided with seats for distinguished
guests at the ceremonies.
