Immediately behind them came the
veterans of the Grand Army, many Of
whom had fought under Garfield at
Chickamauga after his title of Colonel
had given way to that Of General. Not
man was missing Of the James A. Gar
field Post from the old home at Mentor,
and these too, as they carried life-like
picture Of their patron saint between
the battle flags came in for large share
Of enthusiasm. No posts from outside
States figured in this division, but in
that Of the Union Veterans Union,
which was next in line, there were good
sized contingents from Pittsburgh and
McKeeaport. The Sons OF Veterans
brought up the rear Of the frst division
proper.
Governor Campbell and staff, mounted
on magnificent specimens OF horsefesh
appeared in the second division, which
was devoted TO the National Guard.
The places OF honor at their head had
been assigned TO the Sheridan Ssbres,
Of Pittsburgh; the Washington Infan-
try, Of the same city; the Jackson Rifles,
Of jackson, Mich, and the Third Regi-
ment Of the West Virginia National
Guard.
There was break between the second
and third divisions, but when the First
Cleveland Troop, with detachment Of
sailors and marines from the United
States steamer Michigan, came into
view the cheering was renewed with
will. This was the special escort to the
President and distinguished guests.

Morton, occupied the first carriage,
drawn by four horses, while in the fol-
lowing vehicles we're ex-President

Kinley and Townsend, Ex-Governor

large number OF other distinguished
guests. The scenes which marked the
progress OF THIS division were repeti-
tion OF those accorded the veterans at
its head. Cheers ran from block TO
block like volleys Of musketry, while
handkerchiefs and flags were waved by
the hundreds. The President respond
ed to the ovation by re peatedly raising
his hat and bowing until his neck
was stiff and his right arm tired.
The fourth division was composed Of
five sections Of Knights Templar under
the command Of Captain General M. J.
Houck. and as they marched along with
martial tread, their white plumes way-
ing proudly in the air and their swords

CLEVELAND, May 31.--In the presence
OF vast multitude and with all the
pomp, ceremony and selemnity befitting
the occasion, the memorial erected by
the contributions of grateful country
in honor of James Abram Garfield
canal boat boy, school teacher, soldier,
statesman and President--was formally
dedicated yesterday. OF the tens Of
thousands that were gathered upon the
green sward Of Lakeview Cemetery
there were many that had journeyed
from far distant points to pay their last
tribute OF respect to the memory of the
second OF Americas Presidents to meet
his death by the bullet OF the assassin.
Two-thirds of the States and Territories
were represented in that throng. Upon
the platform the nation itself, in the
person of its Chief Magistrate and three
of his constitutional advisers, lent rec
ignition and countenance to the event,
while over all and as pathetic side to
the picture, the widow and children OF
him whom all had met to honor looked
down upon the scene with mingled feel
ings of pride and sadness.
Cleveland looked much as did the
Quaker City at the dawn OF the mem
Orable celebration OF July 4, the centen-,
nial year. The already abundant dec-
dtAtions Of Thursday had been largely
added to during the evening and night,
until flags innumerable and acres OF
bunting floated in the breeze. Those
who had predicted fair weather upon
tAe report OF the signal service that
storm was inevitable were not disap-
polluted. When the sun rose the sky
was cloudless and there was every
promise OF a dry, hot day. Even at this
carly hour there were crowds Of people
upon the streets. Many Of them, in
fact, had sat up all night on the benches
In the public square and on doorsteps in
order that they might secure vantage
spots from which to view the procession
