On the arrival Of the head OF the procession
at Riverside park the various divisions, except
companies detailed TO take part I'm the final
ceremonies, dropped out OF line, and turning
into the by-streets slowly retraced their steps
throng had gathered here, and II was with the
utmost difficulty that the police kept space
clear for the military and civic organizations
which had dropped out OF line. The regulars
took up positions on each side of the tempo,
rary tomb and awaited the arrival Of the funeral
car bearing the casket. All approaches Of the
park were narrowly guarded by the police and
none but the participants In the funeral process
sion were allowed to enter.
AS the cortege approached the men-of-war In
booming of the guns broke the death-like still
ness which prevailed on all sides.
The body arrived at the grave at 4.45, and the
burial rites of the c. A X. were performed. DIR.
Newman then followed with the reading of the
burial services of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and the ceremonies at the grave con-
cluded with salute of II guns by the light ar
tillery, FIFTH artillery, and bugle taps by Bugle
Krouse, OF Battery III, Fifth US. artillery.
Little Julia then laid on the coffin wreath ITO
Gran Hha ar1 Of hon he
remains within the tomb, and at $50 o'clock
placed them within the steel case, the sealing Of
both leaden lining and steel case then being
performed as indicated above.
The family entered the tomb, remaining only
few moments. They then sought their car
riages, and when entering, the seventh and
twenty-second regiments in line on the bluff
fired three volleys toward the river, after which
battery F. fifth artillery, fired three salvos from
the knoll toward the hotel The family car
riages drove away.
The naval vessels in the river opposite Gen.
Grants tomb had their ensigns, flags and pen
pants at half-mast. The fleet was composed of
the Despatch, Powhattan, Omaha, Swatara and
Alliance. The first mentioned was Rear Ad-
miral Jouett's flagship The presidents flag
was displayed at half-mast on the flagship un-
I'll sunset. All the vessels had their yards,
gaffs and lower booms cock billed. On the fore
and miZZen-masts of each vessel the starboard
yard arms were topped, up, and on the main
Tue port Ndru-urtllS were UOpptu just
as soon as IL was learned that the procession
had started the Despatch fired 81 minute guns,
and as soon as the Despatch had ceased firing
the Powhattan and other vessels of the fleet
fired 81 minute guns each In succession. AT
sunset the ships hauled down colors and square
yards.
Though, OF course, not so imposing or i'm
pressive as the funeral procession on land, a
silent but effective demonstration of respect
| for the memory of Gen. Grant was made by
the shipping in the harbor All classes OF
crafts participated, and even the canal boats
and oyster scOws displayed signs of mourning.
All the ferry houses. freight and railroad de-
pots, and ocean steamers and ferryboats along
the river front had their.f flags at half-mast, and
! the vessels at the Brooklyn and
Jersey City wharves showed the
same marks of respect The coasting and
river steamers without exception obeyed the
rule OF the day. The transatlantic fleet
which sailed for Europe steamed down the bay
with lowered ensigns, signal flags and pen
nants-a mark ofrespect shown TO the memory
Of very few public men.
