They numbered about sixty Along the

TIE COMING PAGEANT.
NEW YogK, Special Telegram, Aug. s.-The
great plateau extending over that portion oil
New York from the eastern boundary OF Cen
trial Park for miles up the Hudson river, to
what is known IA Manhattanyille, and OF
which the Riverside Park Is the western
boundary, suddenly found its scanty popula-
ton quadrupled before noon, and every
cross street and every avenue crowded
Riding along the Elevated railway on the
West side, and overlooking this portion OF
the city, IL seemed as though some invading
army had landed at the lowest point ON
Manhattan island and was driving the
populace slowly but surely into the
n elds or into the river. Every
street was stream of humanity
ON elevated trains in overcrowded street
cars and hastily improvised wagons, ana
along the dirty streets Of this unfashionaDie
section of the metropolis nothing was seen
but moving masses of women and men
Every point of land was covered by tho
moving tide Many had fled 20 the unblast-
ed rocks apparently TO avoid the coming
flood of people. For miles behind was the
apparently victorious army Strange
glimpses OF moving columns, broad flashes
of scarlet coats and gold lace, the tramping
OF many horses, che rumble OF artillery
wagons, the blaze Of trumpots and roll OF
drums told OF the coming pageant
THE BLUE AND THE oBEY EsrgTsxp
Following this apparent joining Of hands
between the North and the South came
similar unbending between the First Massa-
chusgtts regiment and four companies Of
Virginia troops All differences between the
two bodies were amicably bridged when the
hero died and again the men who wore the
blue and the men who wore the gray frater-
nized az evenly as though they all had fought
for one common cause Whenever an organ
ization from the South passed along the line
II was elapped and cheered The New Jer-
soy troops made n fine showing They were
divided up into two brigades. In the first
brigade were tho FIRST, Fourth, Fifth and
Ninth regiments, the First and Second batal-
Ions and Calling company In the Second
brigade were the Third, Sixth and Seventh
regiments and another Gatling gun COM
pany. after that came another evidence OF
the fraternizing feeling between the North
and South. A detail Of the Fourth Massaohu-
sets regiment had become separated from
the main body. One OF the bands Of the
Southern troops lost the company they were
playing for in the confusion, and met the
Massachusetts boys They quickly found
each other out, aud the Nertherners marched
UP Broadway singing TO the music OF the
Southern band The band belongs to tho
stanton Grays, and is known as the stone
wall band" As the procession passed the
Fifth Avenue hotel the Grant family, with
tho exception of Mrs Grant, who is at Mount
McGregor, assembled at the windows over
looking the street and viewed the line. The
features of Col. f. ID. Grant so well known to
nearly every one in the line, were especially
prominent Ho stood with uncovered head,
and as the veterans passed, they dotted their
hats in RESPECT to the son Of their old COM
manueE
Instead OF attempting TO cover the whole
front of a building with cloth, IL was gath
cred into masses around cornices and pillars,
and over doorways The favorite way OF
treating panels, which were sometimes trl-
angular sometimes obloug and sometimes
square, was by fluting and plating the fold
running from the center outward A fine
example OF this use of mourning was seen
at the Fifth Avenue hotel The great front
of the buildings stretch of grayish white
stone-displayed no black save about and
pboye the front entrance. There the marble
pillars were covered with rich looking black
cloth, which also was spread over the cornica
and balcony above The general color OF
the building greatly heightened the effect of
this concentrated mass OF black The HQff-
man house, Just above, and the other hotAls
on upper Broadway were all draped
with tasteful displays The use of
drapery was most universal in the business
part of the city. Wall street was lined with
black from end to end The sub-treasury
was especially beautiful Black cloth
coyered the pillars Of the porticc and panels
OF shirred muslin hid The ahutmcnts and the
statue Of Washington in front Heavy holds
of black cloth, hanging from the wide cor
nices of the Mutual life Insurance building
q, Nassau street, the great Mills building rs
well as the Fields and the Equitable build
ings, were notable examples OF the skillfnl
use of draperies on large scale. The porch
of Trinity caurch was draped with flags
covered with Grape, and black cloth over
hung the entrance 10 Grace church The
Union League club displayed great number
d Gags shrouded with black on both its
fropts The University, the Union, the New
York, and the Aanhattal climbs also displayed
many mourning embloms
THE LAST RESTING PLACE
1t was the extreme northern end of the yard,
broad, rolling plateau, i've hundred feet
above the Hudson, embracing twenty or
thirty acres OF new ground, that was the spot
selected for the final ceremonies 1t was a
beautiful spot The Lowell was broken by
numerous knobs topped by waving pines.
At the base of the hrst of these was the tomb
itself, The worllmen had just completed the
interior and the implements for making the
final fastenings were lying ON the sward
behind it In front was the heavy copper
covering for the casket and the soldering
irons were already in the FIRE. There
gere two knobs further to the
right ais on the further one OF
these was this elaremoat mansion,
ITS large porches completely enshrouded Ia
mourning Long tables had been set here
for the refreshment of distinguished guests,
but for the most part they were unused.
Through the tree tops on the high bluffs in
'front.' sf al could be discovered the tall
masts OF the naval deet anchored under the
shelter of the shores Far away the light
and shade played upon the ripping waters,
and the white cottages along the distant
shores Las, like snow banks in the sun At

were everywhere. They represented him at
all periods of his life, from lieutenant to
recent years The absence OF drapery on
many Of the private residences along Fifth
avenue was noticeable IL was due TO the
absesoa III the householders from the city
There were many signs Of mourning to-day
aside from the decoration or buildings
There were black bordered flags on many
street cars; and black plumes nodded above
