A shower of Roses.

When the band had played dirge.
Quartermaster Sergeant A. w. Bogia of
the Old Guard, pulled the rope that de-
tached the fastenings and the flags that
covered the monument fell to the
ground. just at that moment the mem
bers of the Woman's Relief corps threw
shower of roses upon the grave. This
ended the simple ceremony. Col
Michael Sheridan and number of army
officers witnessed the ceremony. Mrs.
Sheridan, who is confined 20 her room
by sickness, was unable TO attend. Later
in the day, however, after the unveiling
ceremonies, the children of Gen. Sheri-
dan visited the cemetery and added their
flowers to the heap that had been thrown
upon the gallant soldiers grave.
The monument is plain, broad granite
shaft of sharp and strong outline, upon
the face of which rests the bronze
medallion of Sheridan. 1t is erected by
Mrs. Sheridan. in memory of her hus-
band. Soon after the generals death she
consulted with Samuel Kitsen, the
artist. who undertook the work OF de-
signing a memorial in granite and
bronze, fitting to the character of Sheri-
dan. The bronze medallion shows
Sheridan in bas-relief, framed in laurel
and palm wreath, with the headquarters
flag for background.
At , O'Clock there was a sharp shower
of short duration. About o'clock the
rain fell in torrents, and the heavy
shower continued until Z O'Clock. 1t eff
fectually put an end to all outdoor ex-
ercises and deprived the many
excursionists wlio left the city this morn
ing of the anticipated pleasures of the
day.
