Gen. Grants Remains Viewed.
New YORK, Aug. Cat 6 A. NJ. the in
speotors ordered the iron gates open. Ten
or twelve hundred people had jammed up
against the officers, who barred the chan
mel at the edge OF the fountain circle, but
when the gates swung open the officers
ceased to hold the people in check, and the
stream began to flow past the remains and
through the building. In the first minute
only "a persons passed the casket. This
rate of passage would never answer
with the dense crowd waiting outside.
They were hurried through at the rate Of
101 q minute. Then the pressure was in
creased to 104 q minute. The procession
was almost q lock step. The hour from
6 to z o'clock was employed by working
men and women, boys and girls in viewing
the remains. After 7 o'clock the line
changed as to it's personnel. There were
less women and girls. The police were re.
inforced at s O'clock. Details under Ser
| geants and roundsmen had been arriving
and reporting to the inspector from 7
O'Clock. At 8 O'Clock there were 487 men
on duty. The guards at the casket were
Fastening the people at the rate of $50
per minute. At IL O'Clock between
30,0 900 and 81, 900 persons had passed the
casket and looked toward the remains,
though many coming rapidly in from the
bright sunlight were scarcely able to dis
tinguish them in the sombre shadows OF
the black draped corridor. The floral
offering OF the Board Of Aldermen was set
up during the morning beneath the
rotunda dome, where the light streamed
down upon it. The central column rose
ten feet and was fianked by stands of c%olors,
while the base was a bed of ferns and
| palms, among which was placed huge rows
of white buds. An incident was occasioned
by the attempt of 81 old lady, who came
up in the line, to stop and kiss the face of
the dead General. She was reminded
hastily that such a proceeding was in bad
taste; besides two plates of glass prevented
any demonstration of the kind.
A Legal Technicality.
New YORK, Aug. Incorporation Coun-
sci Lacombre to-day sent to Mayor Grace
a communication regarding the resolution
in reference to the assigning of a plot of
ground in Riverside Park for Grants
sepulchre. The Mayor had asked the
Corporation Counsel whether if he, the
Mayor. approved the resolution would il
be legally operative. The Corporation
counsel holds that the land referred to is
not an absolute fee, but fee in trust for
certain purposes. The land thus acquired
cannot be given way by the city, nor il it
were held in fee simple absolute could it

sinking fund. The Commissioners only
could convey it. but a provision states
that they must sell it at public auction.
He says he is Of the opinion that il the
resolution was signed by the Mayor it
would be legally opposed to effect the ces-
sion of the ground proposed. The Park
COMMISSIONS had no power to grant The
right OF a sepulchre.
