ana yellS OF here they cOme,n went up
every time a delegation came out. The
Grant family were quietly gathered i'll
their pariors, overlooking the square
and strangers were. rigidly excluded
from the hall leading to their rooms.
Mrs. Grant had not arrived and it was
announced that she would not attend
the funeral. but had concluded to stay
at Mount McGregor. She was reported
by DR.. Newman to be still week and i'll

take carriages for their position in the

Mr.. and Mrs. U. S. Grant, Jr., Mr.. and
Mrs. Jesse Grant, Mrs. Cramer, Mrs.
Dent, Miss Cramer, General Crog-
well, Stephen L. Morarity, Senior
Romero, and Mr.. w. ]. Arkell. Mem
bers of the party who from time to time
appeared at the windows, as the head of
the column began to move up past the
hotel, the band playing as they passed,
were objects of general attention on the
part of the multitudes gathered on the
square.
AT 900 o'clock President Cleveland
called his Cabinet together. and ar
rangements were made for the order in
which they were to leave the hotel to
take their places. The hands on the
clock pointed to five minutes after ten,
when General Hancock and General
] Shaler rode under its windows to the
head of the procession. The sun was
reflected from the maze of glittering
gold on the uniforms of their staff, as It
trooped behind followed by the regulars
who in passing reversed arms, while the
bands played mournful dirges along the
line of the avenue. When the troops of
the first division of national guards
were drawn up the guns were Shout
dered as the General passed. The regi
stretched southwark from near
a continuous line on the east side of
Fifth Avenue and inside streets; Second
Battery, Captain Earl, mounted but
without guns, were occupying the ex-
treme right on the west side of the ave-
nue.; continuous lines of Grand Army
veterans extended down as far as the
eye could reach, At 1910 precisely the
! Grant family came out of the ladies'
entrance of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and took their carriages. Colonel Fred
! Grant and wife rode with Mrs Sartoris,
| U. s. Grant, Jr., and his wife and Senior
| Romero occupied the next carriage to-
gether, Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Grant the
third, and the Cramer family the fourth
Carriage. As the carriages received
their occupants they rolled away to-
wards the avenue and remained there
closely wedged in and waiting their
turn in the line. They had
been waiting more than a quarter of
haco I'D

with Secretary Bayard, and the four
horse carriage that followed received
| Vice President Hendricks and his priv
ate Secretary. Ahead of them had gone
number of carriages, following the
Grant family in the following order:
Mrs. Rawlind Holman, daughter of
General Grants friend and first Secre-
tary of War; the Generals old staff in
| four carriages; his ex-Cablnet officers
IN four carriages; detachment from
Wheeler and U. S. Grant Post, G.. A. r..
in four carriages; Mrs. J. w. Drexel and
members of the Aztec Club, survivorsof

representatives of different departments
of the national government. Next
came Governors of States, with their
stats and the representatives of cities.
The catafalque passed Twentythird
street at l o'clock sharp. The hum of
expectation that had preceded it was
stilled as it passed by, and all heads
were uncovered, many heads were
bowed, and an old negro woman who
somehow had been pushed forward to
| the curb, and stood there wedged in, es
saved vainly to kneel with tears stream
ing down her wrinkled face. She was
held fast by the crowd, and could not
stir. On a.single telegraph pole on.the
corner of Broadway and Twenty-third
streets were perched not less than
| twenty-eight spectators. As soon as the
catafalque had passed, the carriages con
tanning Col. Fred. Grant and his wife,
and his sister fell in, and the mourners'
coaches fell quickly in line, without con-
| fusion. Both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Hendricks had tired of the long wait,
and after sitting in their carriage,
stared at by the curious crowd till half
past eleven, retired to their rooms in
the hotel. They observed the parade
from their windows and did not come
out till the catafalque had passed the
hotel. Their carriages had remained at
the door. Secretaries Endicott and
Manning, whose carriage followed the
Vice Presidents, remained in their seats,
and other cabinet ministers who rode in
4 pairs did the same.
Almost the last carriage had wheeled
into line at Twenty third Street, when
there fell in behind one containing an
officer with broad gold band across his
breast. Two crutches stood up IN the
carriage beside him, and proclaimed his
name, as the gold scarf had announced
his rank. He was Major General
Sickles. Following behind the crippled
veterans carriage, there trod seem
ingIy endless army with banners.
without show or gold or glitter, but
with armless sleeves, the limping gait
and SCARED faces that stirred mems
minds as they passed with deep and
strong emotion. These were the dead
hero's comrades, who shared his dam
