in sympathy.
Up 10 80 o'clock the church was KEEP
closed to the public, rs the greater part OF
the space within had been reserved for the
funeral guests, and even then in order TO
prevent q crush only the small side door on
Stockton street was thrown open. very

cf the sacred edifce was fully occupied, and
during The half-hour which followed there

THE CHURCH DECORATIONS.
The ,arly corners had a good half hour to
wait before tie religious ceremonies began,
which they utilized in a quiet insl ection OF
the church interior. The center of interest,
OF course, was the catafalQue, surrounded
by a multitude of fiofal tributes, among
which stood the silent sentinels of the mill
tary arm Of the State posted as guard of
honor. Unfortunately, the solemnity Of
the occasion was broken in upon at this
lime by the management of the committee
IN charge. who up 10 the last moment were
occupied in placing and replacing the floral
emuems, so that they. the committee, flor
lists, sodiers ana undertaker's assistants
were at times in a tumble of confusion,
which a little ordinary foresight would have
prevented.
Aside from the set pieces, which entirely

THE FLORAL TRIBUTES.

which place was given in the veStibule.
This was a bunch OF coarse foliage, tied
with violet ribbon, which was placed i'm

created considerable adverse comment. 1t

OUTSIDE SCENES.
Long before the hour announced for the
opening OF the doors large crowd OF peO-
pie gathered in the vicinity of Grace
Church. A squad of forty police officers, in
charge of Sergeant George Harmon, who
was assisted by Sergeants Sharp, Whitman,
Johns and MOnahan. kept the streets clear
sidewalk The Chief Of Police was also
present overseeing things.
At quarter of 2 o'clock the door on
Stockton street was opened to admit the
general public. A grand rush was made
from all sides for the entrance and a Jam
was the result The twelve officers on duly
on the steps had hard work to keep the
crush back to some extent In less than
five minutes all had entered that could find
standing room in the space left for the gen.
eral public and the doors were closed.
A rush was then made for the yeStry en-
trance higher up the street, but here a
watchful guard of policemen and detail
from the Third Infantry Regiment kept out
all except those who had tickets or who
were otherwise entitled to enter. A num-
Der Of well-kn0wn pickpoekets mingled 10
the crowds that tried to or did obtain en-
trance but they were closely watched by
the police, and as lar as is known no one
was despoiled Of his valuables.
The crowd was driven back again and
again to the sidewalks, and there they stood
in the drilling rain; men, women and chill
dren, looking at one another and nj Major
Charles Stanley OF the brigade staff who
