NEW YORK, Aug. T. When the city
hall gates were shut, at l o'c lock this
morning, and when the shuttle Of foot
steps had ceased, the undertaken and
embslmers came. The face Of General
Grant WAS scanned by them through
he double plates OF glass Then the
undertaken observed that dust had
settled on the lower plate Of glasa, aud
no removed the top plate that he
other might be cleaned. Surprise was
expressed that such an accumulation
of dust should have been possible
through the fine close joints made by
the closing of the face plate. The glass
was cleaned and polished, new top
plate replaced and the lids of tho cas-
ket fastened down. The royal purple
velvet that covers the casket had be-
come dusty with rising particles from
all the shuilling oii the
thousands who passed Through
the day. Carefully IL was
brushed and cleaned Of dust and the
undertakers and others went out. The
body had not been touched by them.
As early az 4 O'Clock there were
some thousands rammed back by the
$50 policemen then on duty. Between
and O'Clock the crowd had become
throng, and the line reached from
the fountain along Park Row to Cen
tre street, turning the corner OF Cham.
bers street. AT the same relative
hours to-day there were thousands
more In the stream than yesterday,
and the fact was due TO tho belief and
experience that the carly ones had, yes
terday, the least time to wait.
The st. Paui's bell was tolling the
hour Of O'clock when the iron gates
were thrown back,
The first to pass through were, as on
yesterday, women, Of middle age,
and each could not appreciate
but that the day and the romans were
at their disposal. Several hands and
voices reminded them otherwise with
not little suddonnsss. The solid
stream had again commenced flowing
across the plaza to tho entrance. The
human stream was flowing Just AZ
| though 100000 had not shuilled over the
same stones yesterday. After 10 min
utes the entire line was stopping, step
ping, stopping from away above
Chambers street.
Midday passed and there was no
diminishing OF the constant trail OF
people SO anxious to sec the almost un.
recognizable face OF the dead general.
Az | O'clock the line reached up
Broadway to point near Canal street.
The tide was flowing past the remains
NJ about the rate Of 100 per minute, as
yesterday, and at Up. m. nearly $4,000
persons had viewed the body since the
gates were opened at q O'Clock this
| morning.
Lieutonant- Colsnol Smith, of the
Seventh reg nent, this afternoon was
siezed with u tainting lit, while sitting
in the aldormanic chamber. PhgHl-
clans were called and restored him to
consciousness.
