whose white mustache and chin beard and
soldierly bearing, one recognized at glance.
the gallant Confederate General Buckner,
from whom Grant wrested his first hard
won laurels at Fort Donelson. General
Buckner was in ordinary black citizens
dress. A smaller man similarly attired at
the other end OF the room, whose gray
hairs formed striking contrast to the
leOnine man and fierce black mustache Of
General Logan, with whom he was talking,
was the famous General Joe johnson.
Hamilton Fish was not among the pail

appointed A. j. Drexel, OF Philadelphia, in
hie stead. At the last moment it was said
that Admiral Wooden had been appointed
Al 8.3n o'clock Colonel Hodges sum moned
the pail bearers to their carriages. The
Presidents carriage, drawn by six horses,
was called up to the door next, but had
fully an hour to wait. The President had
signified his mention of riding with Secre-

found it difficult to manage, gathered op-
posite the hotel entrance, and yells of
''Here they come" went up every time a
delegation came out.
The Grant family were quietly gathered
in their parlors overlookingt the square, and
strangers were rigidly excluded from tne
hall leading to their rooms. Mrs. Grdno =
had not arrived and it was annnn1aeeu Gia .
she would not a4+vuu Jne funeral, but had
ouncIuded to stay at Mt. McGregor. She
was reported by DR.. Newman to be still
weak and i'll, though not confined to her
bed. Theparty gathered at the hotel, ready
to take carriages for their position in the
parade when the column should have ad-

Mr.. and Mrs. U. S. Grant, jr., Mr.. and Mrs.
Jessie Grant, Mrs. Cramer, Mrs. Dent, Miss
Cramer, General c. Roswell Stephen l..
Morarity, Senor Romero and Mrs. w. j.
Arkell, members of the party who from
time to time appeared at the windows. AS
the head Of the column began to move up
past the hotel, the bands playing as they
passed, they were the object of great at
tention on the part OF the multitude gath
cred on the square.
THE SCENE ON FIFTH AVENUE.
At 9:2O o'clock President Cleveland
called his Cabinet together, and arrange
ments were made for the order IN winch
they were to leave the hotel to take their
places. The hands on the clock pointed to
1O:O5 when General Hancock and General
Shaler rode under it's windows to the head
of the procession. The sun was reflected
from the maze OF glittering gold on the uni
forms OF their staff as it trooped behind
followed by the regulars, who in passing
reversed arms, while the bands played
mournful dirges along the line Of the avenue
when the troops OF the First Division OF the
National Guard were drawnup. Guns were
shouldered as the General passed. The
regiments OF the First Division stretched
southwark. from near Twenty-eighth street
in a continuous line on the east side O.
Fifth avenue and all inside streets. The
Second Battery, Captain Earle, mounted
but without guns, were occupying the ex
treme right on the west side of the avenue
The continuous line Of Grand Army vet
Grams extended down as far as the eye coult
reach.
