The divisions we're assigned diff
ferent positions along the lire of
and as the procession moved
along they fell in with beautiful
precision and in admirable order.
The manner in which the procession
was managed by the Chief Marshal
was most admirable and every thing
moved with the smoothness of well
regulated machinery without jar or
hitch. The band discoursed soft
requiems at intervals as the process
sion moved along. The streets we're
literally lined with people on each
side and the windows and every
other possible vantage point were |
filled.
At tie Capitol the grounds were |
filed with people. The head of the |
procession moved around and en-
tered the north gate, the other di-
visions entering the other gates and
all converging at the center.
TEN THOUSAND PRESENT.
The throng about the Capitol was
immense and tie lowest estimates
placed the number massed there at
ten thousand people.
The western entrance of the Cap
itol had been appropriately decora-
ted and draped by the ladies and the
funeral car stopped there and chant
was rendered by special choir of
young ladies selected for this occa-
sion, who stood in the pcrtico just
overlooking the spot where the flu
neral car stood. The choir was un-
der the dictatorship of Mr.. William
S. Primrose.
Chief Marshal Kenan announced
that prayer would be offered by
Rev. DR.. h. M. Marshall, rector of
Christ Church, and while the vast
multitude stood with barred heads
the impressive invocation was pro-
nounced by DR.. Marshall as fol-
| lows;

high and mighty Ruler Of the Uni
