Of the twenty -four horses, sixteen men OF
Meade Post, Philadelphia, Of which General
Grant was member, were almost directly
in front Of the team of black leaders and
the David's Island Band preceded them.
A signal was given and the line of coaches
with clergymen moved off the plaza on to
Broadway.
The band stood waiting at the head of
the funeral cortege. Colonel Beck adj
horses before the coach. "Move on" were
his words of command, with uplifted sword.
The leaders stepped forward lead by col
ored men, and in an instant the black line
of horses had Strengthened theirA traces
and the wheels beneath the remains were
moving. The hour was 9:47. The band
played a dirge, the tramp Of the regulars
and honor guards beat upon the pavement,
thousands beneath trees and crowding
sides of the square looked silently on the
black funeral car rolling over the curb into
Broadway.
The black corridors of the City Hall were
silent and General Grants last journey was
begun. Then, at 9:52, Mayor Grace, Comp.

in front. The members of the Common

did also the Police Commission. They fol.

of in carriages, and when it was 10 O'Clock
the police lines were withdrawn and the
people streamed across the plaza without
hindrance.
BROADWAY CROWDED. 49,
All night long, carpenters, with saw and
hammer, were busy in Broadway, and
| when, this morning, the sun climbed up
| out of the sea and shed its brilliant light
| upon the dark corners and alleys of the
city, it revealed the presence of hundreds
of hastily reviewing stands from
| which the great procession could be seen at
prices ranging all the way from 81 to $40 q
head. The decorators, too, had not been
idle. On tho fronts Of many great ware
house were displayed emblems Of mourn
| ing which were not there the night before.
The reviewing stands were located in all
sorts Of places. Nearly every empty stand
along the route had been gObbled up by the
| spectators. Some of these were rented
| outright, while others contained numbered
seats, to be had at the small sum Of five dol
lars each.
When at length the hands of the great
clock Of Trinity Church approached the
hour Of 8, Broadway presented an ami
mated spectacle. As far as the eye could

poured its load into the great artery Of
travel. Bronzed faces from the country.
white faces from city counting rooms and
| Offices, and dirty faces from the tenement
districts were In the crowd. Rich and
poor, rogue and rascal, dignitares and
nonentities iostled each other on the curb.
stones and sidewalks. Everybody seemed
to be good -natured and took the jostling
and jauming as matter Of course. The
police tried to keep the people of the
street, but it was hard wor k. There were
more who wanted to pass along the walks
than there was width of passage to con-
tain them.
Madison Square was long astir and
troops of sightseers were trailing up
Twenty third street as early as half-past
7 O'Clock, when an officer on horseback
dashed up to the ladies' entrance of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel and, dismounting, took
his stand at the door. The pearl.grey sash,
denoting an aide of General Hancock was
across his breast The officer was Colonel
Hodges, Of General Hancock's staff. He
was followed shortly by a mild-looking
to be the Marshal Of the Presidential and
Gubernatorial carriage party, Lieutenant
Colonel Gillespie. Their presence attracted
an enormous crowd to the draped entrance
to the hotel on Twenty third street, and
the police were soon called upono to clear
the sidewalk.
The crowd then surged around toward
the main portal Of the hotel, which shortly
became impossible. Inside an increasing
throng Of gold.laced and uniformed men
blocked every hall and corridor. In the
main hall General Sherman, tall, erect and
smoking Q big cigar, was the center Of an

friends. The party were all In full uni.
form, and attracted universal attention,
that tagged only for moment when Q file
Of attendants Of the Japanese Minister en-.
tered. The big marble hall was completely
choked with humanity long before o'clock.
| In the big parlors, upstairs, all was stir
aud hustle. While the President and his
Cabinet Ministers were at breakfast In one
end of the building, and the Grant family
quietly preparing for the pageant at the

delegations gathering and getting ready,
here, there and everywhere. Badges,
sashes, and military orders found way for
the members In the seemingly inextricable
confusion Of swarming humanity. In. q
quiet little parlor of the ladies' parl6r,
facing the square, group Of serious men,
most Of them gray-haired and old, but
nearly all erect and of vigorous physique,
were putting on broad silken sashes OF
white and black. They were the pail
bearers, and were . striking group.

Confederate General Buckner, from whom

man, similarly attired, at the other end OF
the room, whose gray hairs formed strik.
ing contrast to the leonine name and fierce
black mustache Of General Logan, with
whom he was talking, was the famous
General "Joe" johnson, the bravest of the
brave, who succumbed to General Grants
sword. Hamilton Fish was not among the
pall-bearers. He was sick, and the Presi.
dent had appointed A. ]. Drexel, Of Phila.
delphia, in his stead. At the last moment
1t was said that Admiral Worden had been
appointed pall.bearer in place Of Admiral
Rowan.
At half-past 8 O'Clock Colonel Hodges
summoned the pail bearers to their car.
