Work began promptly in removing
the decorations from the various pub
lie and private buildings of the city.
The taking down of the bunting was
no doubt hastencd by the overhang-
ing clouds. which threatened to give
further showers last night. Confed-
crate flags still hang triumphantly
from the cross wires of the car COM
pany, and the spectacular decorations
along the route Of tho pardue still
float in the wind.
Lost Their Tickets.
A large number Of the visitors called
at headquarters before leaving the city,
and the business of yesterday was
much interrupted by the Inequalities OF
the day. A number of small matters

was given to each case, and wherever
1t seemed Necessary home transportation
was provided. Though there have
bei,n number of reports of lost tick
cts and lost pocket-books, and in some
cases of robbery, there has been, con-
sidering the size of the crowd, COM
paratively little pocket-picking. Two
hard-looklng citizens, who could give
no reasonable account of themselves,
were run out of Camp Gordon on the
opening day, and the police have held
sevral others as suspicious characters.
There is no definite way of cstimat-
Ing the great concourse of people who
witnessed the unvci'ing of the Davis
Monument. but all authorities agree
that 1t was by all odds the largest
crowd ever assembled In Richmond on
similar occasion. General Stephen d.
Lee, an expert in such matters, places
the number at from $4,000 to 100000.
On the memorable day in 1890, when
the r. z. Lee Monument was unveiled,
there were much larger number of
survivors of the Army Of Northern Vir
GINA here, although it is probable that
the Army of the Tennessee and the
Trans Mississippi had as many men in
line on Monday as on that memorable
day. At the Lee unwilling there was
also a much larger military section Of
the parade than on this occasion, the
