would let hD and asked the policeman sta
toned there to lay little bunch Of violets at the
door Of the tomb for him. saying: He helped
make me a free man. boss" The story also says
that the policeman did it. If ne did. he showed
more care for the service Of citizens than some
of the Park police did. The order which was
preserved excellent. and the general re-
suit of the work OF the police was perhaps all
that could be eXpec ed, but come OF them showed
much more delight in getting people out of
places where they had 40 technical right to be
than they showed in getting others into the
places where they had every right TO be. But no
doubt, even the Park policemen had their
troubles. They said they did. when they hap
pened 10 be confidential and good-humored for
a moment
AT 10 o'clock the space where people could
stand to the procession or anything else was
pretty well taken up. but the stands were still
comparatively empty. One reason for this. OF
course. was that those who had numbered tick
cts felt that they could come and find their
seats waiting for them whenever they liked. and
another was that the reserved seats were even
more exposed to the wind and even more uncom-
Portable than the standing spaces
But by this time people were assembling fast,
and the stands quickly filed up. In the back
seats at the top of some Of the high ones the
wind must have blown hurricane, but the peo-
pie stuck to their places for time, and then,
when they began to get partially satisfied with
| the spectacle and wholly tired with the wind
they came down. and the crowds began 10 melt
off the top and flow down TO the bottom.
Those who stood patiently along the West
Drive were looking eXpcctantly for the Presi-
dent. Half a dozen times they thought that
they had caught sight Of him and raised cheer
but they always disappointed The mistake
arose from the announcement that the President
would come by exactly the same route the
procession, but he was brought up the East
Drive instead and even while many the CEN
trail stands were looking for him In one drec-
ton, he came behind them and took his place
On the speakers platform.
THE STANDS WELL FILLED.
BY this time. 1880 o'clock all the stands in
front OF the tomb were filed and those which
were so far away that there was no hope Of
hearing the speeches from them were nearly
so. AS tic exercises went on and the time for
the arrival Of the procession approached. those
filed too, and by the time that the head of the
line reached the reviewing stand they were full.
But at the same time the stands in front of the
tomb became almost empty. except around the
edges These stands. having no pitch toward
the driveways, afforded view Of the parade
except from their edges. They had dense
fringes of people, therefore. but few In the
middle.
A large chorus from the Peoples Choral Union
and the Oratorio Society of New-fork' with
band, were seated on the stand across the East

President McKinleys speech in full was as

welfare Of the Nation, here finds its earthly coro-

of the President upon the scene. For many
moments he waited. bowling his thanks. before
the opportunity was given to him to begin his
address. Although adjured by many voices in
the crowd, and especially 10y friends in close
proximity to him, to keep his hat on, the Presi-
dent, apparently fearless of the clustering
wind. persisted in speaking with his head I'M

which was easily heard at a long distance

their places were chilled worst. Those who
fcreeaw the danger and brought winter over

there were many who appeared to have como
expecting a summer day.
To the eye the scene was perfect. The monu-
ment rose majestically above the masses Of peo-
pie the simple dignity of its architecture relieved
only by few palms fastened with purple bands
to the columns on its front. The ccors Of spring
were all about In the trees and the grass and on
the shores across the river. Up the river was
the familiar view of the Palisades. always best

was lost in misty distance miles away. Down

smaller vessels, busy with trade or pleasure.

The feeling that the dead rest better in beau
tiful places Is one which touches the living only.
It is for the living. too, that monuments are
buiIt TO INSPIRE their lives with the memory OF
the lives and the deeds Of the great and the noble
dead But whether the choice concerns the
living or the dead it would be hard to find in any
country q better spot for the resting place and
the monument of the hero Of a nation than the
one where the Grant Monument stands. 1t has
the most beautiful river Of the world before II.
and Il looks down to whore the ships come in
from, all the nations Of the world that learned
IN honor the hero almost as much as his own
country did There is a burial place Of other
heroes further up the river, spot or perfect
beauty, where Grant learned to be a soldier, and
there he might have been buried, too, but his
tonbs here has around II the greatest city OF his
country and II was here that he wished 10 lie.
The tomb of Grant is IN ths most beautiful. the
best and the most truly fitting place that could
be chosen for It, Some such thoughts as these
must have been in the minds Of many who went
10 that tomb yesterday, even before the President
brought them TO the minds Of all who heard his
voice.
RAISING THE FLAG.

were at the place q little before the time ap-

and indeed till some time beyond that. for they
were not all there till the moment for the ap-
pearance of the procession. OF course, those
who had no seats reserved for them on any OF
the stands came earliest. They wandered about
and inspected the monument and the stands
and gazed long at the warshps, and then. after
the crowd began to be more dense, they sought
out positions where they thought that they
