SCARED faces. These were the dead hero's 8
comrades, who shared his dangers on the
field OF battle and had marched beside
his victorious banners over many a
round, and now were walking with HIM
to his last resting place. They were old
men mostly. but kept up the youngest.
All had badges veiled with Grape and
wore bows of Grape on the left arm. The
tattered banners were yelled in black,
and many posts carried as distinctive
badges sprigs of myrtle or evergreen on
their breasts. The procession seemed un-
ending stretching southwark rs far as
the eye could see The streets all the
way TO the tomb were packed with peo
pie, and Ss the eighth column approached
the tomb the reverheration of guns from
men of war were heard and the troops
broke column from the left, marching to
the right or east side of the rond. After
forming line arms were presented and
the catafalquc slowly passed.
The crowd on Fifth avenue remained
on the sidewalks with remarkable per

the corner of Fifty seventh street, where
the line turned to the west the crowd
swelled from the side to the open way
and blocked the thoroughfare on twenty
occasions. There was some trouble
when the catafalque reached that point.
Everybody was more interested in the
approach of this than in any other part
The procession was watched for blocks

plainly visible as far as about Fiftieth
street. As it neared the corner, the
crowd naturally ewelled TO tho highway

their clubs to make the spectators recede.

pie were standing ten and twelve deep,
and some of those in front had raised
their umbrellas to keep off the sums rays.
Some women stood with babies in arms
and fathers had hoisted their little ones
to their shoulders. The distractions
were numerous and those at the rear
were becoming indignant, but as the
catafalque came up annoyance was for
gotten and only respect felt. As il was,
the leaders of the horses were ordered to
make q sweeping turn, and that was the
only way in which the interested gather

fell back from the horses as though q
spirit had appeared and ordered their re-

their reverance every man raised his hat

After the President, Cabinet, Judges of

Scenes and Incidents at New York on the
Day of the Funeral.
After the last person at lis Saturday
morning had viewed the remains OF Gen.
Grant the undertakers took charge Of the
casket and screwed down the lid, con-
cealing forever the face of the dead Gen
eral The dead was then left in charge
of the guards. The huge floral offering,
Gates Ajar," had place at the head of
the casket On the casket rested a sim
pie wreath of oak leaves made by the
Generals grandchildren while in Mt Mac
Gregor from leaves which grew in the
forests and f1uttered in the mountain
breezes while the General was dying, ON
the afternoon of Thursday, the day he
died. Little Julia, his granddaughter,
and Josie. DIR. Douglas child, had gath
cred the oak leaves and knit with inno-
cent fingers and loving hearts the wreath
which to day is the only tribute which
touches the Generals casket. The little
ones, their Offering finished. had taken il
to Col. Grant, whose eyes filed as his
daughter said: Papa, Jose and | have
made this for grandpapa Please. won't
you give it to him!' The Colonel then
placed the Oaken wreath on the casket
and there it rested in Albany and still re.
mains as the children's offering.
As dawn broke strains of dirge music
crcpt on the morning air, and the blue
coated veterans of the Meade Post OF
Philadelphia, five hundred strong, came
tramping through the plaza and heavy
gun doomed toward the sea. the chimes
OF old Trinity meanwhile pealing mourn.

from the time they took their places un-

garden of bright flowers. If some land
scape gardener could have exercised his
skill over three miles of territory he
could not have produced more brilliant
picture. The bright scarlet of the artil-
lerymen, the golden uniforms of the reg
ular officers, broad acres of the white
and silvered uniforms of the Seventh
Regiment, backed by rows of furled flags
and the deep blue uniforms of the regu
lar troops, came slowly over the hill like
the unfolding of panorama.
AT 6:1O Gen. Hancock with his staff,
came riding down Fifth Avenue. As he
swept past the Fifth Artillery the bugles
sounded the advance, and the battery
also went down the Avenue. forming in
double column in front of the Hoffman
House, the guns, limbcrs and caissons
reaching up to nearly Twenty fifth
Street Back of them, as far as the eye
could reach up the Avenue toward
Murray Hill. the street from curb to curb
was compact mass of troops brightly
uniformed. When at last, by Gen Han
cocks order, the bugles sounded the
shrill aud sharp command for the march
to begin. and the rumble of the artillery
began. the roll of the muffied drums the
musical clatter of the thousands of
horses hoofs the cadence of the feet of
the marching men and the undulations
the shining battalions, as far as one
could see, sounded the first grand note
IN the great national requiem for de
parted hero. 1t was nearly : o'clock
when the head of the procession reached
City Hall Square. Then Gen. Hancock
rode into the plaza and to the front of
the City Hall. There he dismounted
His staff saluted, and drew up in line op-
poSte the main entrance. Then
came several troops of regular artillery
and the members of U. s. Grant Post
OF Brooklyn. assembled the funeral car
reverently, lifted the sacred burden and
bore 1t into the building. During their
progress the Twenty second presented
arms, band played a dirge and a bugle
rang out from the steps with mournful
notes. AS soon as the purple covered
casket with its silver trimmings had been
placed beneath the canopy, thirteen
members of the Grant Post took their
position. six on each side and one at the
head. They stood like statues. their
gaze concentrated on their charge.
Sharing their watch were seven members
OF the Loyal Legion. Gen. Hancock
then delivered the remains to the munich
pal authorities, in whose charge they
would be until 10 o'clock on Saturday
morning.
The waiting crowd of people were
then formed into a long line, the entrance
gates were opened. and the public was
permitted to pass through the hall in
two lines and take last look at the dis
tinguished dead. Between this time and
Saturday morning, while the remains
were lying in state. over $50, 900 people
avaiied themselves of the opportunity of
gazing upon the dead Generals features
