which had prevailed for several days
past, and which in great dogrcc was
responsible for tho abandonment OF tho
plans for 4 military funeral, had passed
away and tho day dawnod fine and cold.
At $3.50 o'clock 4 detachment Of artil-
lery with gun carriage drew up ut tho

sonagcs. The rear of the procession was
brought up by the pcusautry. The
whole route from the church TO the sta
ton OF the Great Eastern railway was
lined with spectators who, ms the pro-
ccssion passed, joined in the rear. A
guard OF honor from the Norfolk volun-
teers, with guns reversed, met the cor
tege at the station. The whole scene
was ono OF great solemnity.
The route from Windsor station to
the castle was lined with guards. Be-
hind the soldiers there was IN immense
crowd OF people who patiently waited
