Tho Richmond Light Infantry Blues
and the Ivnchburg Zouaves, their guests
o,,,orded the grave OF President Davis
in HOLLYWOOD yesterday at the close VI
Tho ceremonies until the crowd dispersed
and n detail from Lee Camp reHeVSu
them. The two companies aIter"S 10
marched to Gettysburg Hill. where they
fred the customary sal-te. The BiuSs
afterwards escorted the Iouaves 10 tnei
armory. where a collation. was selse.,
and then finally accompanied theiI sue 81
to the depot. from where they iei'
home on the night tram ,.a
Ger.ral Fitzhugh Lee when ne VleWeu
tho casket was accompanied by Miss
Elise Williams.
Among those on the stand at the grave
was Ex-Governor Lub5uck, OF Texas, VINO
was also aide to Mr.. Davis lie 1oilo"eu
the dead chieftain in and out OF fortune,
and tells most interesting reminiscent
history Of Mr.. Davis.
PHOTOGRAPHERS abounded along Frank
lin street. and many shots were taken as
the procession moved by.
Among the visitors from Ashlard were
the Kelley students at that town.. TheV
were "cbaIeroned" by the physician IN
charge of the institution, Dr. }. L. Maae'
and were dined at the American HOTEL
Many Of the Randolph-Macon students
were also in Richmond
The salute which was fired by the How
tiers on CANDLES Hill announcing the
arrival of the train was not generally
heard throughout the city. The wind was
evidently blowing from the north, and the
sound was heard by the Manchester citl-
zens. The first gun of the fifteen-minute
salute was fired at o'clock A. NJ. on
the Capitol Square. The Grimes Battery
began, and continued the firing until ~
A. NJ. and the cannon were then used
bv the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues until
2 o'clock. The Howitzers fired the salute
at Hollywood.
The fakir with photographs and medals
was a numerous parsonage on the streets
yesterday.
The Lynchburg Zouaves attracted very
general attention along the entire line OF
march. They are one OF the best-drilled
companies in the State.
The Ambulance Corps OF the First Vir-
ginia regiment of infantry were thor
oughly equipped yesterday to attend sick
ness or injury. but had no serious cases
to attend. Several guards were made
sick by being out in the sun, but rapidly
recovered.
The First Virginia regiment, and espe-
cially the guard, should be given con-
siderable credit for the part they took
I'm the ceremonies. Most Of the men or the
regiment were up all night Tuesday ana
the guard were forced TO do sentlnel
duty. II Is a great pity that the resl-
ment had not a more attractive UNIFORM
than the fatigue" worn in the parade.
The Blues made a splendid appearance.
Their attractive uniforms and their ex-
cellent marching made a deep impression
on all visitors to Richmond. The Heu-
tenants in command were: First Lieu
tenant, Clarence Wyatt: Second Lleuten-
ant. Henry #. Vaughan; Junior Second
Lieutenant, Frank NJ. Woon.
Too much credit cannot be given the
Richmond police for the manner In which
with Inadequate numbers they restrained
and controlled the almost resistiess
crowds who surrounded the funeral scene.
Among the most interested and con-
snicuous figures at yesterdays ceremo-
MES was General George w. Jones, OF
Dubuque. Ia, a contemporary OF Mr.
Davis in the United States Senate and
comrade in arms in the Black Hawk
war. Although elghty-nine years Of age.
he went from his far Northwestern home
10 New Orleans and escorted the remains
TO this city. travelling in all, nearly three
thousand miles to pay this last tribute to
his old friend.
The Richmond Light Infantry Blues
took the Lynchburg Zouaves to supper
and afterwards marched with them TO
their train which they took for home,
over the Norfolk and Western railway,
last night.
The Stonewall Band, under the skillful
leadership of Bandmaster ProshO. at
tracted great attention in the march.
The electric cars on one Of which I rode
back from Hollywood, were dangerously
packed with people. standing two deep
even on the outside platform.
Pickett-Buchanan Camp, of Norfolk,
made a handsome appearance, having
about 100 men in line.
The A. F. Hill Camp of Confederate
Veterans. of Petersburg. commanded by
