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 casket 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
at his left was Comrade Ormsby, OF
the same organization. Next came
the bearers from U. S. Grant Post, consisting
of twelve men, six on each side. On the right
| were Comrades Tebbetts, Mackellar Mackel-
vie. Brodie, Collins and Barker. On the left
| were Comrades Carwin, Howatt Macdonald,
| Squires, Knight and Gwellin Immediately
following came the guard Of honor from 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 the
| bearers were the two companies of Fifth bat
: terry
As the funeral car turned slowly into
Broadway from the Park plaza, it was joined
by the twelv5 pallbearers, 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
Sherman with General Joseph E. Johnston;
! in the first at the left were General Sheridan
! and General Buckner. In the second at the
right were Admirals Porter aud Worden; in
! the second at the left were General Logan
and ex-Secretary Boutwell,; in the third at
the right was Mr.. George Jones with Mr..
! Oliver Hoyt; in the third at the left were
Mr. Geo. w Childs and Mr.. A. J. Drexel, who
| had been appointed as a substitute to cxSec-
rotary Hamilton Fish, illness preventing the
latter's attendance. AS the stately funeral
car turned into Broadway, Meade Post took
up position directly following it. The
funeral car and its escort were upon Broad
| way by sharp 10 O'Clock.

INTERIOR OF THE TEMPORARY TOME.

But it was most orderly crowd. There was
apparently no noisy element in it except the
vendors of programmes and Grant memo rial
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 sight as pos
sible of the ceremony, there could be seen no
violent pushing OF 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 the great, black funeral
car and it's precious burden moved from its
position many heads were uncovered and
bowed until it had passed. The tmong
around the carriages of the pall-bear-
ers, while they were waiting the sig
nal to start. was particularly large
and filled 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 to point out one or
the other.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-08-08

At I 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 a 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 coftin's head and the other at its foot.
Meanwhile, the coffin's lid had been put tenn
porarily in place, and the undertakers had
come. The lid Of the coffin was removed and
brushed; the gold plate with its inscription
was FURNISHED; the silver handles were rub
bed with chamois skin and the lid was re-
stored. Then the panels were placed again

From Mount N9c(srcgOr to New York
"A Brief Resume.
The most extraordinary funeral pageant
ever witnesseiin 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
natlon'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 rom ilns 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
mains on the afternoon Of that day in
New York, and then the magnif-
cent procession through multitude
of spectators to the City Hail. where the
body was placed in the rotunda and during
the next two days and nights viewed by a
constantly passing stream Of humanity, which
stretched at times for three-quarters of a
mile up Broadway and aggregated $4,000
people Then on the Sth occurred ceremony
which in magnitude and impressiveness is
probably unequaled in the annals Of civic or
military displays-the final transfer of the
generals remains to the tomb awaiting it at
Riverside Park. A vivid and detailed &C
count of the wonderful ceremonies Of the
closing day IS herewith given.

REMOVING THE BODY.
z he Last solemn Service at the City
Hall-The Car Drawn Up.

Hall-The Car Drawn Up.
The night wore on without any incident
of note, the morning came, and at $50
General Hancock and staff trooped slowly
front to the City Hail. At this time l2O
members of the Liederkranz society filed up
to the steps, and led by six instrumentalists
sang with impressive effect 'Chorus Of the
Spirits from Over the Water" by Schubert,
and the "Chorus of the Pilgrims" by Tam
dered in German. At the conclusion Of the
singing the choristers looked through the
barred gates at the black catafalque and the
casket of royal purple. Soon after that the
original G. A. r. guard which served so
faithfully on Mount McGregor, filed in under
command of John H. johnson, senior vice
commander of Grant Post, G. A. r., Brook
Ign. :,
At $40 A. NJ, the guard of honor marched
across the plaza in front of the city hall and
halted in front of the closed gates. It con-
sisted of two companies of the Fifth artillery,
of forty men each, under command of Col
onel W. B. Beck That officer assembled the
steps, and as he turned, the file separated,
one company marching up the steps at the
east and another at the west, extending their
line in double file from the gates to the
plaza. At the right stood tue David's Isl
and band. Five minutes later the funeral
car was slowly drawn up before the steps,
