In o'conneII Street.
In the vicinity Of College Green and
in O'Connell street great crowds had
assembled for we'll over an hour be.
fore the time announced for the
start of the funeral procession. 1t is
difficult to give an estimate of the
numbers assembled on this portion of
the route with any degree of accuracy
but at least 10000 people assembled
between College Green and the Ro.
tunda. The streets were densely
packed on both sides, and all the win.
dows were crowded with spectators.
Every vantage point was availed of,
the base Of the O'Connell monument
being particularly crowded. The
tramcars held up at the Pillar or in the
side streets afforded hundreds of PEG.
pie an excellent platform from which
to witness the procession. Only a
comparatively small number Of police
were present, and the duties of those
were very light. The crowds were
most orderly, and, despite the i'm.
mense numbers, there was no jostline
or crushing. or the slightest indica
ton of any kind of disorder.
1t was about half-past three when
the head of the procession came
across O'Connell Bridge, and for over
an hour the different sections were fl
ing past. All the time, the crowds

moved to enthusiasm by the files oil
