few will be in a position to see both,
the bulk of the people are debating
which one they will concentrate their
attention upon.
1t will be an all-day affair to see
the land parade. 1t is estimated that
there will be 100000 or more in line,
and, even if they pass at the rate of
10000 an hour-an exceptionally high
speed-it means eight hours and a half
of continuous marching. AS the
pageant will be made up of every kind
of civic and military bodies, from regi-
ments of schoolboys to the old veter-
ans of the North and South, some con-
fusion is bound to result, and it is
quite probable that the rear sections
will not get started before nightfall,
long after the dedicatory ceremonies
at the tomb are over.
National Guard regiments from
many States will be in line, these
troops alone furnishing $4,000 men.
The War Department has ordered 2,7O0
regulars to participate in the parade,
or more than one-tenth of the whole
standing army. This is the largest
number of regular troops assembled in
one place in the East since the war.
The regulars will include companies of
infantry, cavalry and artillery, West
Point and Naval Academy cadets.

tives of foreign Governments and the
members of the Grant family will oc-
cupy the speakers stand.
Directly in front of and facing them
is another stand for Governors of
States, members of Legislatures, con-
tributOrs to the monument fund, city
officials and other specially invited
guests. These people will sit facing
north, looking at the tomb.
Off to the east is a long stand hold
ing 10000 people, who will get a fine
view of the proceedings, and the Presi-
dent when he reviews the marching
columns will move over to the edge of
the roadway and stand facing the TO-
600 across the way.
The three stands hold 1900 people,
but if they held fifty times that num-
Der they would not accommodate all
the applicants for seats. These stands
are so arranged that they cut of the
public's view of the two principal sides
of the mausoleum. Some dissatisfac-
ton exists on this account, also be-
cause many of the old vets who fought
under Grant, and who are too feeble
to march, have been unable to obtain
accommodations In the stands They
will be forced to take their chances
with the multitude, and that means a
world Of crowding and but little seeing.

beneath the center of the dome and a
few feet below the main floor. A pas
sageway circles about the crypt on the
main floor, and a gallery above also
affords a view of the sarcOphagus.
The general plan of the lower part
of the interior is cruciform, the four
corners being piers of masonry and the
greatest dimension being 70 feet. The
decorations, in high-relief sculpture,
are mathematical of the career of
Grant, his birth and death and his
military and civil life.
The sarcophagus containing the
body is of MOntello porphyry, dark
red granite quarried at Monticello, Wis.
1t was cut from a single block Of gran
tie and weighs in the neighborhOOd of
five tons The cap is also one piece,
and weighs a ton. The die is feet
91a inches long, 4 feet 315 inches wide
and feet 315 inches high The cap
is 9 feet 6 inches long, 3 feet wide and
10 inches high. The die rests upon
two pillars of the same material, while
the whole is to set on a foundation Of
dark Quincy granite 10 feet 10 inches
square by ? feet inches high.
The sarcophagus occupies but one
half of the foundation, the other half
being reserved for a twin sarcOphagus
which in time will hold the body of
Mrs. Grant. Just before the general
died he expressed the wish that his
wife be buried beside him. Work has
been begun on the second sarcophagus,
but it will be year or more before it
is completed.
There are two collins in the sar-
cophagus holding the generals body.
The coffin containing the body rests in
a cedar casket. At the time of the
Grant funeral. twelve years ago, these
collins were described as follows:
1.-The coffin is cloth covered, metallic
and is 6 feet long. banded with solid
silver frames and portals. The metal
lie part which is inside the cedar is of
highly polished copper, One-eighth of
an inch thick. The top is of French
plate beveled glass, opened full length.
The inside of the coffin is lined with
| light cream satin, beautifully tufted,
with an elegant pillow. on which in
raised letters on an embroidered rib
bon are the initials Z. S. G. The
handles are of solid silver. specially
designed for the coffin. The outside
box is of imported cedar. highly pol
ished and decorated with handsome
mountings, and is lined heavily with
lead The cedar portion Of the coffin
is covered with deep purple plush.
The coffin is perfectly alright, and
practically indestructible."
When General Grant died his body
weighed less than 100 pounds, how
much less the doctors in attendance re-
fused to say. The generals burial suit
was of black broadcloth, with a Prince
Albert coat. The body wore a low
standing collar. with a black neckde
tied in a plain bow knot. In the shirt
bosom was a single plain gold stud
On the feet were white stockings and
patent leather slippers. On the little
finger of the left hand was a plain
gold ring which the general had worn
for many years.
OF the two pageants, the land and
the naval it is problem TO say which
promises the most in magnificenee

of the kind ever attempted in the

Marines and blue jackets from all the
warships and the Navy Yard will be in
line. The Governors of many States,
their military STATS, G. A. R. posts and
scores of civic societies, commercial
and labor organizations will swell the
line to tremendous lengths
General GrenvilIe NJ. Dodge, grand
marshal of the parade, has made elab-
crate arrangements for speedy work
on the part of marching troops. Gen
eral Dodge was chosen for the office
because of the long friendship existing
between him and Grant He is one of
the oldest living corps commanders
under Grant, and was one of the chief
subOrdinates in the campaign of the
Middle West.
The dedicatory ceremonies at the
tomb will be brief General Porter

he will turn the mauSoleum over to the

On April %, 1922, Ulysses S. Grant
was born. in a little house scarcely
more than a shanty. The mother who
bore him lacked what would be deemed
to-day the crudest of luxuries. The
child came into a home which poverty
had long held in its fercest grip. No
Teasing or jubilation welcomed the
coming of the babe. The father knew
that there was one more mouth to feed.
one more body to clOthe. The mother
felt that another burden had been
added to her responsibilities.
That was the beginning of Ulysses

marching columns will be hundreds of
the StOut-hearted veterans who for
four years fought Grant with all the
bitterness of human energy. They,
too, cherish the memory of the soldier,
