tho Second battery wheeled into line with .
precidon Of step and measure of discipline
that 10 seldom equaled. Quickly following
came tho Second brigade Of Gen. Louis Fitx-
gerald, with the Second battery In tho lead,
and then the grey haired veteran guarda
Col Austin and his star were -
GRAY HAIRED AZ THE VETERANS
who came after them on foot, and with he
roic front and marching step to the sound of
martial music. the governors foot guard,
volunteers Of tho old One Hundred and
Sixty fifth Volunteers, and tho Tenth WASH
ington Continental Guard, the four patriotic
Italian organizations. with their cleaning
suits and jaunty hats, and Capt Williams
three companies Of colored veterans, made
way for the younger men who followed them
in the third division. Two brigades from
Pennsylvania were in this division, and Maj.
Gen. Aolineaux had cause to show in his
manner that he was proud Of the men
marching behind him. while Christensen and
Gen Brownell, the brigade commanders,
marshalled their men in splendid order.
Pennsylvania's quota soon came, and a. the
First regiment stepped forward with tho
regularity Of clockwork the crowds lining
the sidewalks could not suppress burst of
applause Following came the Grey Invincl-
bles. tho colorcd company. They numbered
forty-eight and showed great profiol cncy in
drill Immediately following the passage of
/ tho Donnc cv1x nd oA
street came scene which was repeated
from Madison square along tho entire line
to the place of interment, such as is not
often witnessed Behind the colored In
| vincibles came the we'll known Georgia COM
pany, the sGate City Guards, Of Atlanta.
They numbered about sixty. Along tho
route which the guards passed through were
! many Grand Army posts, awaiting the time
when they could take their positions In the
| line. They were clleered again and again
and the most positive proof Of goodfellow-
ship was given.
THE COMING PAGEANT.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Aug. 8-The
great plateau extending over that portion Of
New York from the eastern boundary of Gen.
tral Park for miles up the Hudson river, to
what Is known as Manhattanville, and of
which the Riverside Pork Is the western
boundary, suddenly found its scanty popula-
| tion 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, 1t seemed Us though some invading
army had landed ut the lowest point ON
Manhattan island and was driving the
populaos r;owly but surely into the
fields or into tho river Every
street was q stream of humanity.
ON elevated trains in ovcrcrowdod street
cars and hastily improvised wagons, and
along the dirty streets of this questionable
section OF the metropolis nothing was seen
but moving masses of women and men,
Every point of land was covered by the
moving tide Many had fled to tho unblast-
flood OF people. For miles behind was tho
apparently victorious army. Strange
glimpses of moving columns, broad flashes
of scarlet coats and gold lace, ths tramplng
of many horses, the rumble of artillery
wagons. the blaze of trulnpets and roll of
drums told Of the coming pageant.
THE blue AND THE GREY ENTwINED.
Following this apparent Joining of hands
between tho North and the South camo q
similar unbending between the First Massa-
chusotts regiment and four companies of
Virginin troops All differences between tho
two bodies were alnicably brdgcd when tho
hero died and again the men who wore the
blue and tho men who wore tho gray fratcr-
nized az evenly as though they all had fought
| for one common cause. Whenever IN organ
ization from the South passed along the limo
| 1t was clapped and chcered. The New Jcr-
| sey troops made fne showing. They were
divided up into two brigades In tho first
brigade were the FIRST, Fourth, Fifth and
Ninth regiments, the First and Second batal-
| ions and Gatling company. In the Second
brigade were tho Third, Sixth and Seventh
regiments and another Gatling- gun COM
pany. After that came another evidence of
the fratcrnizng feeling between the North
| and South A detail of the Fourth Massachu-
sctts regiment had become separated from
| the main body. One of tho 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, and tho Northcrncrs marched
up broadway singing to the music Of the
Southern band The band belongs to tho
Staunton Grays, and is known rs the @Stonc-
wall band" As the procession passed tho
Fifth Avenue hotel the Grant family. with
tho exception Of Mrs. Grant. who Ia ut Mount
McGregor, assembled ut the windows over
looking the street and viewed the line Tho
features of Col F. D. Grant. so well known to
nearly every one In the line, were especially
prominent IIo stood with uncovered head,
and Us the veterans passed. they doffed their
hats in respect to tho son of their old CON-

Instead Of attempting to cover the whole
front Of o building with cloth, 1t was gath
and over doorwaya The favorite way Of
treating panels. which were sometimes tri-
angular, sometimes oblong and sometimes
square, was by tiuting and plating the fol DIS
running from tho center outward A fine
example Of this use of mourning was seen
at the Fifth Avenue hotel The great front
of tho building-a stretch of grayish white
stonc-displayed no black save about and
above the front entrance Thorc the marble
pillars were covered with ch-looking black
cloth, which also was spread over the cornice
and balcony above. Tho general color of
the building greatly heightened the effect of
this concentrated mass of black. The Hoff-
man house. Just above. and the other hotels
on upper broadway were all drapcd
with tasteful displays The use Of
drapery was most universal IN the business
| part of tho city. Wall street was lined with
black from end to en6. Tho sub treasury
was especially beautiful Black cloth
covered the pillars of the portico and panels
| of shirred muslin hid the abutments and the
statue of Washington in front Heavy folds
of black cloth. hanging from the wide cor
nices of the Mutual life insurance building
on Nassau street, the great Mills building, as
well as tho Fields and the Equitable build
ings, were n notabie examples Of tho skillful
use Of drnperies on large scale. The porch
| of Trinity church was draped with flags
covered with Grape. and black cloth over
! hung tho entrance to Grace church. The
Union League club displayed great number
of flags shroudcd with black Oh both its
fronta The University, the Union, the New
York, and tho Manhattan clubs also displayed
many mourning cmblemA
