charge of the arrangements. While the
services were being conducted in the

the Seventh, Sixty-ninth and Seventy
first, marched down Madison avenue and
took positions in readiness for the parade.
The Second Battery, Captain Wilson com
manding, lay on Thrty-first street, and 4

door ready for the coffin. Upon the ca1s-
son was draped large American flag and
eight horses were attached, each near
horse having a rider In spite of rain at
the time of the services large crowd
collected but it was kept in check by
detachment of mounted and loot ponce.
The troops were lined along Madison ave-
nue. in company front formation, and all
orders were given by bugle calls. 1t had
been the intention of Captain Wilson to
have the same caisson that was used at
the funeral of General Sherman. but it
was found that that caisson was in the
United States arsenal and was kept as a
memento. One of the battery calssons
was therefore used, and that will be kept
in a similar way, large silver plate be-
ing placed upon it marking the occur
renee.

concluded the coffin was carried out 70

from the surrounding military posts ana

services. The funeral parade passed
down Madison avenue to Twenty-siXth
street. to Fifth avenue, to tue arch, where
it wheeled and went directly down Twen-

arrival at the ferry the different reSl-
ments left for their armories.
