all filth will be carried away during
the winter months, and the surface
will be of such density that little
dust will accumulate during the sum-

CROWDS IN QUEENS CEMETERIES
ButsFew of the Old Heroes Gould Stand
Fatigue of Visit.

Thousands Of visitors crowded the ceme-
teries in the borough Of Queens yesterday,
and the ranks of the visiting Grand Army
posts were almost lost TO sight I'm the crush
of civilians. Instead of stepping TO the
music of bands the greater number OF
veterans rode to the cemeteries in coaches.
Grandchildren OF the gray haired heroes
did the decorating of the graves in many
instances.
Many of the local Grand Army posts in
Queens held memorial services in their
home villages, but many members had to
forego a visit to the graves of comrades
on account OF the fatigue it would have
caused. The few that came tried TO make
brave showing, and their scant numbers
and halfine steps caused the younger gen.
Grafton, which looked upon the occasion as
a sort Of holiday. to pause reverently as the
little groups marched past.
