Mrs. Hancock also received tele-
grams Of coincidence from the govern

mains. The funeral procession will

Quoted by the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix
and his assistants. There will be nC
military music whatever in the pro
cession and the only troops in line
will be those from Governors island
The staff of the late general viii
follow the hearse. The ceremonies
at the church will be of the
simplest character possible. There
will be no address. and the services
will be similar in character to those
held at the funeral OF Wm. II. Wander
bilt
The body will be takeu to Jersey

the funeral party to Philadelphia. The
train will arrive at Philadelphia at

character.
Ger. W. D. Whipple, who is now the
highest military officer stationed at
Governors Island, has received large
number Of applications from military
and civic bodies for permission to take
part in the funeral procession. 1t is
probable that none of these will be ac-
cepted, as the procession will not be a
formal one.

after passing suitable resolutions
and eulogizing Gen. Hancock, the
Kentucky legislature adjourned till to-
morrow, as token of respect to that
distinguished soldier.
The Chess Contest at St. Louis
Results In a Tie--To be Decided in
, New Orleans.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 10.-The chess
match was resumed again to-day, under
about the same circumstances as before
and with about the same audience
as on previous days. Mr.. Stei-
nitz, however, expressed him
self as feeling remarkably well,
having recovered from the attack of
insomnia which he has been suffering
from since before he left New York,
and he thinks that he shall remain in
good condition during the remainder
of the contest.
The game to-day is pronounced by
experts as the best yet played, especi-
ally on the part of Steinitz, who, dur
ing the last half of the game, played
not only brilliantly but aggressively
and deservedly won the admiration of
the spectators.
Mr.. Steinitz having won the game,
the contest is closed and will be re-
sumed at New Orleans.
Both players will probably remain
here week, then leave for the Cres-
cent City. The contestants now tie
each having won four games. There
were thirty-nine moves in the game
to-day. Time, three hours and thirty
FIVE minutes.
