TEE LAST NIGHT.
Preparing for tho Interment-CIosing
the Coffin.

The final ceremonies attending the removal
of the body of General Grant from the New
York city hall, where it had been lying in
state, to its temporary resting place in River
side Park, began with military promptitude,
General Hancock taking his place at the
head of the great column assembled to do
honor to the dead commander of the Union
armies promptly at o'clock. The scene at
the moment was most imposing and impress
sive, at once grand and solemn. The skies
smiled upon the pageant, and the sun bright
ened every CLEAN of gold or steel with the
magic of his rays.
All night long tho preparations for the
great event went forward ceaselessly. AT the
different headquarters officers were busy
completing the necessary details; in the
streets the police were beginning to form
their lines in the city hall the guards stood
rigidy around their sacred trust; and along
the line of march, especially in the upper
part OF the city, the noise of hammers and
saws disturbed the silence of night, as men
labored eagerly TO complete the booths and
stands which were let to sightieers at great
profit With early morn the human tide
bepan TO set from all directions toward the
line selected for the funeral procession. The
people poured into the city in conyerging
streams from Brooklyn, from New Jersey,
from Staten Island, from Westchester county
aud Connecticut, TO say nothing OF the
strangers who journeyed from more distant
parts.

INTRODJCTORy.
From Mount NcGrcgor TO New York
"A Brief Kesunte

The most extraordinary funeral pageant
ever witnessed in America eliminated in New
York on the Sth with the laying away of
General Ulysses S. Grants remains in the
temporary tomb at Riverside Park. The
uation's last tribute to the dead Union COM
mander comprised series of most impress
sive ceremonies, beginning with the funeral
services under the immediate supervision of
the Grant family, and the funeral sermon by
Rev. DR.. Newman, at Mount McGregor;
next the removal of the remains to Albany,
where the body was viewed in the State cap
itol by thousands; the transfer of the body in
the heavily draped funeral tram down the
Hudson on the fifth; the arrival of the re-
New York, and then the magnif-
cent procession through multitude
of spectators to the City Hall, where the
body was placed in the rotunda and during
the next two days and nights viewed by
constantly passing stream of humanity, which
stretched at times for three-quarters of a
mile up Broadway and aggregated 250,O00
people. Then on the Sth occurred a ceremony
which in magnitude and impressiveness is
probably unequaled in the annals of civic or
military displays-the final transfer of tho
generals remains to the tomb awaiting it at
Riverside Park. a vivid and detailed ac-
count of the wonderful ceremonies of tho
closing day is herewith given.

At o'clock A. NJ, the iron gates of the
City Hall were closed against long column
of people still trying TO see the face of the
dead general. Then the policemen filed
through. This left the crowd outside unre-
strained, and it struggled up the steps and
pressed Its faces against the iron bars. Order
was restored, but men and women still hung
as near the entrance as they were permitted
The police officials saw the earnestness of
their desire, and again the gates changed and
opened, a single line formed, and hurrying
line came through. Almost on run they
were driven past the coffin. Then the halls
were cleared of all save the guards and police
men. In military style the officers of the
Seventy-first regiment were relieved. A new
set of men occupied the position of the Grand
Army members. A host Of policemen were
discharged from further duty.
The scene within the dark walls became
impressive as the night went on. The hollow
square of Grand Army men stood as still as
ever. Erect and perfect in bearing were two
officers of the Seventy-first, one standing at
the coitins head and the other at its foot.
Meanwhile. the cofiin's lid had been put tenn

The Mayor was formally greeted by Col
onel Beck, who had been directed to receive
the body on behalf of General Hancock. The
clergymen then took up positions at the head
of the casket and at a word from Captain
johnson the bearers lifted the caslet from its
resting place The little procession then
moved down the steps, the clergymen leading.
Next came Drs Douglas, Shrady and Sands.
Then came Captain John H. johnson, OF
u. S. Grant Post. At his right was Com.
rade Downey, of Wheeler Post and

the bearers from U. S. Grant Post consisting
of twelve men, six on each side. On the right
were Comrades Tebbetts, Mackellar, Mackel-

were Comrades Carwh, Howatt. Macdonald,

men reached the foot of the
steps leading to the catafalque they halted,
and separating, five on each side, bowed their
heads as the casket was carried past them.
During this time the only sound heard was a
dirge played softly by band. Not word
was spoken as the car was started to Broad
way. Captain johnson reversed his position
and stood Immediately at the rear of the
| funeral car, and two files of the U. S. Grant
Post fell into line Immediately afterward
At distance of ten feet each side of tho
bearers were the two companies of Fifth bat

As the funeral car turned slowly into
broadway from the Park plaza, it was joined
by the twelve pallbeareIs, who Immediately
preceded it in carriages. There
were two in each carriage, and
| the carriages were driven two
abreast. In the first at the right sat General

| in the first at the left were General Sheridan
and General Buckner. In the second at the
right We're Admirals Porter and Worden; in

TtIE EsNE OF MARCH.
Some of the Most Striking Features
of The PrOCes.iOn.

The column was five hours almost 10 min
ute IN moving over the crest of Murray Hill.
This was the most favored spot in the whole
town at which to see it. The grade of Fifth
avenue above Madison square gradually rises
till Thirty-seventh street is reached, then the
Belgian pavements as gradually slope away
to lower level, and view is presented of
the magnificent avenue to the north and to the
south that is unsurpassed. Thousands of
New Workers who knew its advantages
sought the spot at an early hour and secured
positions along the sidewalks, on the lamp
posts, in the trees, and even'on the arms of
the tall telegraph poles, The people looking
out of their windows actually discovered the
walks filling up at O'Clock in the morning
three hours at least before even the head of
the procession could pass their way.
The crowds swarmed into the avenue as
the hours wore on, and it was black with hu-
man beings, josting one another between the
curbings andpresenting barrier to the escort
column that appeared impenetrable. But
when a squad OF mounted men in the familiar
police uniform rode into sight far down at
Madison square the barrier commenced to
crumble. The policemen stationed in the
cutters massed themselves and moved with
the power of ponderous battering rams
against it. Its sides yielded first, then its

But it was a most orderly crowd There was
apparently no noisy element in it except the
vendors OF programmes and Grant morial
badges After the great black funeral car
appeared on the plaza conversation even was
carried on in lower tones, and despite the
eagerness OF all to get as good a sight as pos
sible Of the ceremony, there could be seen no
violent pushing or crowding which usually
characterizes gathering of the kind.
1t was evident that the great throng, COM
posed as it was of the most widely different
elements, was of but one thought-that OF
showing respect and reverence for the
heroic dead. AS tho great, black funeral
car and its precious burden moved from its
position many heads We're uncovered and
bowed until it had passed. The throng
around the carriages of the pall-bear
ers, while they were waiting the sig
nal to start. was particularly large
and filed with respectful curiosity. They
edged as closely as they could to the carri-
ages containing the distinguished generals of
the South and North, sitting side by side,
and seemed pleased to notice the evidently
cordial terms upon which they were. The
objects Of the crowds interest seemed not at
all annoyed and frequently smiled, when the
voice of an over-curious questioner could be
heard asking policemen 10 point out one or
the other.
