turned to Broadway today.
Banked by flowers anc
floral offerings, the casket
containing the body of the
dead promoter was borne into
the Pennsylvania Station in
the baggage car of the Florida
, special.
Just as had been his lot in life
Richard found crowds in death. And
in substance, it was the same crowd
that assembled around him in Jersey
City in New York, in Philadelphia,
in Chicago, the scenes of his greatest
promotional efforts, that sorrowtully
saw his homecoming today.
The terminal was jammed when
the great bronze $4,000 casket in
which the sports kings body rested
was carried from the train. They
were all here, the gallery gods, the
ringside seaters, the main eVenters,
the preliminary boys, the managers,
the writer's, the sparring partners,
the trainers, the seconds. in brief,
the same figures that were seen at
every fight staged by the master pro-
moter.
There were numerous celebrities,
men of big affairs and big purses, in
the crowd also.
Whale On Hand
Police Commissioner Grover A.
whaIen himself was on hand to see
that 40 of his finest officers handled
the throng with the gentility and re-
straint the occasion demanded.
Outside the station, 100 mounted
uatrolmen rode at attention ready
to escort the body up Broadway for
is blocks to Madison Square Gar
den. Richards own temple, where
his remains will lie in state until to-
morrow.
Previously it had been planned
to allow the body to lie in state
at the Garden this afternoon as
we'll as tomorrow. but on second

only the promoters family and
intimates to see the remains TODAY.
