10 o'clock the police line, were with
drawn and the people streamed across
the plaza without hindrance. The last
scene there was ended.
All night long carpenters with saw
and hammer were busy in Broadway,
and when this morning. sun climbed up
out of the sea and spread its brilliant
light upon the park corners and alleys
of the city, it revealed the presence OF
hundreds of hastily erected reviewing
stands from which the great procession
could be seen at prices ranging all the
way from 81 to $40 head. The decorat-
ors, too. had not been idle on the fronts
many houses were displayed en-
blems of mourning which were not there
the night before. Reviewing stands
were loaded in all sorts of places nearly
every empty stand along the route had
been gobbled up by SPECTATORS. Some
of these were rented outright, while
others contained numbered seats to be
had for IS each. The speculatiug fever
even got hold of the newsboys, Several
of whom stuck notices in their
caps to the effect that seats from
which TO view the parade could be
procured. When at length the hands of
the great clock of Trinity Church ap-
preached the hour of 8, Broadway pre-
sented an animated spectacle. As far
as the eye could reach the sidewalks
were thronged with people, every train
and every steamer poured its load into
the greag artery of travel. Bronzed
farmers from the country, white faces
from the city counting rooms and Off

districts, were in the crowd: rich and
poor, rogues and rascals, dignitarieS and
nonentitIes jostled each other on curb
stones and sidewalks everybody seemed
to be good natured, and took the jost-
ling and jamming as matter of course,
The police tried to keep the people off
the street, but it was hard work. There
was no change in the order of the fu-
neral procession. The different organi-
cations moved according to the pro-
gramme sent in these dispatches on
Thursday and Friday nights.
INSIDE Fifth Avenue Hotel the lobby
and corridors were blocked by an in
creasing throng of gold laced and uni
formed men In the main hall General
Sherman, tall and erect, was the center
of an admiring throng. He stood in
group of naval officers chatting pleasant
" with old friends. The party were all in
full uniform and attracted universal
attention, that tagged only for mo-
ment when file of attendants of the
Japanese Minister entered. The big
marble hall was completely choked
with humanity. While the President
and his Cabinet ministers were at
breakfast in one end of the building,
and the Grant family were quietly pre-
pairing for the pageant at the other end,
committees, organizations and delega-
