two feet above the grade line. On the In

these piers are connected by arches forty
feet in span, the crowns being fifty feet
from the main floor. These arches and
piers carry the weight OF the superstruct-

The interior of the tomb is white tits
finished mainly in marble, with the sections
under the dome and arches in polished

"War," Death" TRUTH and Peace"
are modelled in relief between the arches Of
the dome. The crypt where the sarcopha-
gus rests is reached by flight of steps
from the main floor OF the tomb They
give access to a circular corridor that runs

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
Events Not on the Program That
Filled the Public Eye.


New York. April 27.-Nowhere along the
line of march was there such a scene of
excitement as in the neighborho1d of the
grand stand. As the afternoon wore on
the wind whiried round and round, filling
the air so thickiy with dust that at times
it WAS only with the greatest difficulty
that the spectators could see across the
drive.
The air was thick with flying papers,
ana every horse that passed became al
most unmanageable. There was great.
danger OF a panic. Horses pranced about,
scattering spectators on both sides of the
drive. Dust-covcred riders tIied TO check
the prancing animals, but in each instance
had it not been for the poli~e, a bad
accident might have occurred. Horse after
horse tore past the grand stand, with one
or two policemen clinging TO the brilie. the
rider shouting and men and women trying
torush out of harm sway. Theunfavorable
Conditions became aggravated as the day
advanced, the wind increasing aud the
weather becoming colder, and long before
the parade ha passed half the Sea t. on the
stands were empty, and the crowds on the
drive tegan TO thin out and get way from
the dust and piercing wnid, which came in
cutting gusts across the river from the
Jersey Heights.
As the Twenty-ttird Regiment or Brook
lyn passed the reviewing stand the band
played America" The crowd took it
up and began 20 sing It. The President
aud others ON the stand applauded. The
band of the Forty-eigflth Separate Com
pany played Come Hither, We Say so,"
as IL passed the stand.
