At the Tomb.
NEW YORK, August S.-From MONDAY
in the vicinity OF the tomb and Riverside
Park was the scene of discomfort for wait
ing thousands. Heat had followed the
cool of the morning and the succeeding
hours added heat and thousands of people
suffered much in their cramped positions of
waiting in the blazing sun. One o'clock
came and went but the funeral car was
long way off and moving very slowly. Be-
meath a fir tree at the crown of the knoll
rested a small charcoal furnace, and near it
were the tools and materials with which 10
seal the leaden lining of the cedar case into
- II, IL. -, e
Grant should be placed. Down the slope
nearer the vault was a portable furnace,
such as is used by workmen for heating
bolts In a group near by were five me-
chanics ready to rivet fast the steel casket,
within which both coffin and cedar box
were finally to be placed. The steel case
res ed upon two marble blocks. two and
half feet high, three feet wide and eighteen
inches thick. Similar marble blocks had |
been sunk in the floor flush with the sur
face. and upon these the remains of Mrs. |
Grant are expected to repOse. Many per- |
sons were permitted to peer into the tomb |
where the steel receptacle was waiting for
the body being borne up town.
Soon after one O'Clock the beating of |
drums and the b!are of trumpets was heard |
from the lower end of the park. A carriage |
came in view. In it was General Hancock, |
and he was the only occupant and stood |
erect. TrOoping behind him on horseback |
were the members of his staff. The Gen
eral rode to point near the tomb, when lie |
alighted. He was met by Superintendent |
Commissioner Crimmns and others |
of the Park Board. General Hancocks |
staff and aides swept past There We're !
among them General FItz Hugh Lee and |
General Gordon, whom General Sheridan |
once met so warmly under other circum-
stances. Upon a commanding slope one
hundred yards north of General Grants |
tomb the staff officers and aides drew rein |
beneath a clunp of spreading trees. In the |
meantime, helmets were glistening and !
plumes were waving over the slope to the /
southwark. The trapping upon many
horses shOne in the sunlight, cannon and
iimbers drawn by horses that were ridden
by artillery men came over the brow of the
southern slope, and Orderlies galloped to
and fro. and accOutrements and sabers clat-
tered and ratified. The regulars and the
marines with the light battery of the Fifth
Artillery were coming down the drive
They marched out upon the slope where
lIancOck's staff was halted. and there the
infantry aud marines assumed positions of /
rest in the shade.
Out on the slope toward the Claremont
Hotel, which was covered with black drap-
Fry, were to be seen mounted men with
pumed helmets, the United States Marine
Corps with bright uniforms. saddled horses
with riders di>mounted, cannon muzzles
thrust from behind the lower bend of the
lil!Ock and pyramids of stacked guns with
bayonets interlocked. Along the
irive We're solid walls of people. The
