battalion units, equivalent to two in
fantry companies to the unit. The
rhythmic tread of these solid blocks Of
fighting troops, with bayonets glisten'
ing in the sunlight, presented mar
tial picture never to be forgotten.
Stretching along the east side OF
Central Park from one end to the
other was a grandstand 21A miles long.
In it were some $4,000 relatives Of the
9th. The other $4,000 seats we're fill
ed with wounded soldiers from the
army hospitals, federal officials, gov
nors of this and other states members
of the legislature, mayors and official
delegations from up state cities.
Ten o'clock came. To those far down
the avenue came the faint notes Of a
bugle. New York's Own" was on the
march again, for the last time togeth.
er.
Through the marble arch of the city
raised in recognition of the deeds Of
Washington, drawn by eight black
horses, came black caisson covered
with the Stars and Stripes, upon
which rested a simple wreath. The
catafalque symbolized 1872 men kill
ed in action" or died of wounds" Be-
hind it marched a squad OF twenty
four honor men bearing huge banner
upon which blazed star Of gold for
every man that had fallen.
AS the crepe-swathed gun carriage
moved slowly past men uncovered and
women sobbed, unashamed.
But the funeral hush was quickly
broken. Subdued at first as though the
thropgs were reluctant to break the
church-like stiffness, came the sound
of cheers. Higher and higher rose the
shouts until they blended in a mighty
roar.
The wounded were coming. The mo-
tor cars in which they rode made up
heart-wrenching cavalcade which
seemed to have no end. Empty Slew
es and turned up trouser legs, crutches
and bandaged heads told of men who
had looked into the land of shadow
from which the comrades they left
over there will not return. But on the
faces some drawn and haggard from
suffering, there was no sign of grief.
They laughed and cheered and stuck
in their hats the flowers that women
tossed to them. They had gambled
with death and won.
Beneath the arch rode Organ and
his staff. Behind them swept the
