WAS NO EUL0CY
To-Day Over the Remains of
 Roger Wolcott.
IT WAS THUS HE WISHED IT.

Exercises Were Simple and Solemn | Remains Were Inferred in Mount 1 Auburn Cemetery. Boston, Dec 24.-Rogar Wolcott, ] thrice governor of Massachusetts, looked upon as a statesman of rare ability and q citizen honoreu through out Massachusetts, was buried to-day at Mt Auburn cemetery, after services at Trinity church, which included only the simple Episcopal ritual and few hymns which were the favOriteS Of the deceased during his life.
 Hunderds of eminent citizens gath cred in Boston's most beautiful relig- iouS eiitice to do honor to the dls- tinguished dead while outside the brownstone structure thousands thrCnged unable to gain adlnittance, but willing to stand beneath the somber sky during the moment in which the last words over the body were being spoken.
 Within the dim precincts of the church the service was read by MT Wolcott's pastor, Rev Howard \. Brown. of Kings chapel. The funer- al would have been held from Kings chapel doubtless, had that editice been more capacious, but in view of it's somewhat limited proportions, the use of Trinity was rendered to the family and was gratefully accepted
 Three hymns were sung and after the service the body was borne through the midst of silent multitude by classmates of the deceased and was carried to it's final resting place in the quiet of Mt Auburn.
 There was no eulOgy. no words of praise of the career of the dead, but tribute was paid by the silent pres ence of statesmen. the juriSts, national, state and city officials, numerous dele gati0nS from patriotic, historical and charitable institutions of which Mir Wolcott had been member, and by .he great body of people which came together during the hour of the final service
 Had the church been ten times the size it would not have held the great multitude who wished to do reverence to the deceased. Several hours before tn doors of Trinity swung open the waiting crowd had assumed almost un- precedemed proportions. and Coply square was filled with men and women.
 Only a small portion. however. of this great concourse actually reached the galleries which alone were not re served and so five minutes after the doors were opened, every seat was taken and the doors swung to again 
 different society delegates, as well as national, state and city dignitares be gan to arrive but so well had been the arrangements planned that nearly all found their allotted seats with prompt ness
 Within the church hung the long festoons of Christmas green. used yes terday, the scent of the rose and the violet from the abundance of floral tributes pervaded every nook. Sel- dom has Boston seen such an elabOr- ate array of wreatheS. crosses and broken pillars and other offerings. as this morning was banked in the chan eel of Trinity. By a quarter to l: o'clock everyone of the TOO or more seats were occupied and still an ap uarently endless line of waiting citi ems stretched away from each door Those who entered the church were cared for by a large staff of usherS Twenty of these ushers had served CT. the staff of Mir Wolcott during tht four years that he occupied the eXecu tive chair of the state, while sixteeI others were among his persona friends of q younger generation. Tn Ushers were Governor WOlcOtt's staff General Appleton. General Carter, Gen eral Guild. General Wellington an Coionels Chappelle Bradley, Robins King, Frye, Scutter, Morgan, Dexter Converse. Locke.
