New YORK CITY (SpeciaD.-The dedica-
tion of the monument on Riverside Heights
to Ulysses Simpson Grant. General-in- Chief
of the Armies Of the Union, and twice
President OF the United States, marked an
epoch in the history of the country, for on
that day brave soldiers Of the gray united
with gallant veterans Of the blue in honor
ing the memory of the man who, great in
battle. was greater in the hour Of triumph,
when, under the apple tree of Appomattox,
he returned lhe sword of Robert E. Lee,
the Southern chief, and bade him and the
remnants of his heroic army godspeed in
the work, of rebuilding a country made
desolate by grim TSr.. q.
New York City has had tye' "Grant
Days" the first when to solemn dirges and
amid emblens of mourning the remains OF
the great commander were borne to their
Temporary tomb. The second has just been
observed under surroundings in violent
contrast to such scenes, for the great me-
tropolis put herself in gala attire, the
tramping hosts marched to lnspirlting
martial strains, and all made joyous fete
Of the dedicatory ceremonies. The deco
rations, especially along the route OF the
parade. were elaborate and picturesque,
striking ARRANGEMENTS Of flags, bunting and
portraits Of Grant appearing on both pub
lie and private houses. The best feature OF
the decorations was that they were not con-
fined to the line Of march, but were CON-
mon throughout the town. Even in the res
ldence sections, including the so-called
tenement districts, more or less pretentious
displays Of flags and bunting were made.
The hotels, theatres, business houses and
other buildings put out their colors, and
The day decorations were augmented at
night by brilliant electrical displays. The
theatres were especially lavish in their dis
play, and the large hotels followed closely
with handsome colorS, artiStically ar
ranged Office buildings and buildings
belonging to the great corporations caught
the infection and covered the grim and
busness-like outlines of the buildings be-
hind patriotic clouds Of bunting. On most
Of the buildings the favorite decoration
was a photograph Of General Grant as
centrepiece and then bunting reaching all
over the bnilding.
The first fpublic function in connection
with the dedication occurred at sunrise
when the enormous flag which is forever to
float alongside the tomb was hoisted by G..
A. R. Veterans. Then occurred the formal
ceremonies at the tomb, after which fol-
lowed the land and naval parades. The
days observances were concluded at night

that it soon became miserable rout. The
Turkish cavalry were close behind the flee
ing army and used their rifles. sabres, and
revolvers indiscriminately, killing many Of
the Greeks.
The Athens correspondent of the Daily
Mail, telegraphing under date OF yesterday
gives further details Of the battle Of Matt. He
says that, after performing prodigies of val
or, the Greeks were slowly forced back by
overwhelming numbers. Their spirit, how
ever, was not broken, and they shouted
as they were driven back: "Hurrah!
Hurrah! War to the Deathl" When the
history Of the campaign shall be written,
nothing in it will be more splendid than the
deeds Of the rear guards. They sacrificed
themselves like heroes as they slowly and
mournfully fell back. The battle was lost,
but not the honor Of Greece.

correspondent OF the Temps telegraphs

continuance Of the war, in view Of the fact
that the army is intact and the naval supe.

This correspondent adds that the spirit
OF the Greek Army at Pharsalos is ex-
cellent. The change in the general staff
has made an excellent impression. Prince
Constantin will remain with the troops in
Thessaly, the dispatch continues, but he
will do 80 merely as a matter of form, and
will not have farther influence in the
councils of war. The correspondent does
not believe King George will go to the
front.
