CHICAGO, August S.-The procession here
to-day in honor of the obseuuies of Gen
eral Grant was very large and imposing,
and was witnessed by such a multitude Of
people that the business streets OF the city
were practically impossible from before
10 o'clock until late in the afternoon. The
Government, county, city and business and
other buildings in all parts OF the city were
heavily draped in mourning, decorations OF
this character being particularly noticeable
along the line OF the procession. On the
lake front guns were fired at intervals
during the parade. Business was entirely
suspended, acd so general seemed the
respect for the memory OF General Grant
that very few people, even among the labor
ing classes, took advantage OF the holiday
to visit the parks or enjoy any kind OF ex-
cursions A heavy shower lasting half an
hourduring the parade was the only cir
cumstance that occurred to mar the sue
cess OF the observances, and that had a.
very small effect on the order OF the march,
ers Reports being received indicate that
throughout the West and Northwest, in
the principal towns and cities, programmes
similar to the one here were carried out.
Business everywhere seemed to have been
abandoned for the entire QaV,
