The day broke on the mountain and
passed without event. AT 10 O'Clock
when the train arrived at the summit
Col. Fred Grant was one OF the passen-
gers upon it. He proceeded at once
and alone upon his arrival, tC the cot
tage, bis brother Jesse having
remained behind. The Colonel imme-
diatelv repaired to his mothers apart
ments, where the family gathered to
hear the result of his trip to and con-
ference in New York. He detailed his
movements and explained that
there seemed to be reasons for
the choice of burial spot in some other
than Central Park. Riverside Park had
at the time Of General Grants death
been suggested as q spot for the inter
ment, and it seemed best to ne Colonel
after seeing and hearing all, to change
the place Of Sepulture 10 Riverside
Park. The matter having been thus
presented to the family, a conclusion
was reached in accord with the Colon
al'S suggestion and he at once dictated
he following dispatches:
MOUNT MCGREeoR, July 25.
=. A. Grace New York:
Mother takes Riverside. The temper
