Broad way and down Broadway to the City Hall: The crowds along Fifth avenue increased at every block and when the head of the process sion reached Madison Square the sidewalks were packed while all the stoops and win doMs in the vicinity were crowded with As the funeral oa5rtssssSe moved, down Fifth avenue the scene was an unusually i'm pressive one. The bells of the Brick church at Thirty Ninth street, the Dutch Reformed church at Twenty Ninth street and other churches could be heard tolling. The mill tary marched with reversed arms, while the bands of the different regiments played sol emn dirges., The crowds continued to fh- crease as the procession. moved toward the City Hall and in the neigEbo.koed, of Hous- ton street the sidewalks became impassabls and when the head of the procession reached the City Hall fully ten thousand persons were present The funeral coach was con- veyed in frofit of the City Hall at twelve of Grant post carried the casket up the steps of the hall and placed it on the catafalque in the lobby. Mayor Grace, General Han cock, Rev. Dr. Newman and Dr. Douglass and & number of military officers were at the head Of the steps to receive the body. While
 
 the City Hall was in progress the Twenty second regiment formed on the east side of the entrance, while the cavalry drew up at the east and west sides of the park. At 7:20 the iron gates leading into the vestibule of the hall were closed and ten minutes later the military were dismissed and left for their respective quarters. The casket after resting a few minutes oh the catafalque was taken into a rear room of the building where the undertaker and his assistants were engaged for some time in trying to improve the appearance of the dead generals face. The casket was then returned to the vesti- bule and placed upon the catafalque again and in few minutes throng of privileged persons assembled and gazsd upon the features of the dead hefo: The general inn pression seemed to prevail that the embalm ing process had not been success. The heavy draperies in the vestibule gave the place a weird and impressive appearance, notwithstanding the light from four electric lights each of three thousand candle power.
 First it was decided not to admit the pub lie to view the remains, but at ten minutes past o'clock two of the iron gates were thrown open and the immense throps that had remained in front of the building began to pour in as fast as the police would allow them. A steady stream of people of all classes in double file passed the remains of the general from the time the gates lead ing to the vestibule were thrown open until II o'clock at the rate of one hundred a min ute. After that hour the crowds 1essened somewhat and nearly all the reserves of po- lice were sent to their respective precincts. The guard of honor tonight is composed of members of Grant post and officers and members of the Twenty-second regiment. Tomorrow it is expected that the remains will be viewed by immense throngs of spectators from all parts orI arfv nf ha detailed for duty in the park to pre- serve order. At a conference held in the Mayors office tonight it was decided to close the gates leading to the vestibule of the City Hall every morning at 1 o'clock and open them again at o'clock.
 Mrs. Grant Completely Prostrated.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-W. J. Arkel1, who accompanied the ladies of General Grants family from Mt.
