Gnus From tlio Fleet in His Hudson, Oppoilte Itlvcnlde l'nrk When the first beams of tho mornincr touched tho bold shores of the North river. the men-of.war lying still and dark in tho snaaows ol tno blult oc Ulversluo Park be came suddenly stirred into life. The shrill sound of tha boatswain's call echoed from ship to ship and tha hills returned ochoos of the reveille which came from tho bugles ot the scarlet coated marine buglers. Pennants and ensigns fluttered up Into tho sun light, stopping at half mast, as if the men at tho balvards had not-tho heart to hoist them further. Tho yards of the ships were square and straight, and oven vtith tho Hags half-masted tbo fleet had a trim, ship-shape air. But suddenly all down tho lino of vessels tho yards wero 'cock-bllled." Then indeed the fleet looked mournful. With tlio yards all pointing in different directions, tho flags and pennants hanging idly half way un tbo masts, nil jauntiness was gono and grief was expressed by the vessels as no other inanimate object can express it. At tno loroor Admiral jouett's temporary flagship, the Dispatch, the Presidents flag was displayed at half mast, tho Admiral's own flag being half-masted at tho main. As soon as the sun roso a gun was lirod from tbo jiisparai, ami at intervals oc nan nn liour all day long that gun kept up its steady and monotonous boom. Tuirs from tho now yard wero alongside tho vessels early in the morning, nnu xus uiue-jaci:et3 nnu marines who wore to march in the funeral procession wero transported down tho river and landed In tlio lower part of ths city. As soon as tlio head of tli3 funeral procession left the City Hall tho Dispatch fired a saluto of twenty-one guns. When tho saluto from tho Dispatch was finished tho Powhattan took It up, nnd so on down the line until all ships had salutod. Ths na val brlgudo had drawn so many men from the fleet that the shins were comDaratlvelv deserted. A few sallora sitting about, a marine orderlv or two marching no and down tho dock with 6tea ly tread, nloft tho weary nags ana tue tangioi net-worK ot dis placed yards such was thepicturoon board. There was m sound but tho booming of the guns, and in tho intervals of stillness might bo heard the quiet flap of a sail as some mer chant vessel went up or down tbo river. Tho hills above Yonkcrs, tha stately Pallsados nnd the green slopes ot Riverside Park basked in the sunlight us tho plucld river camo flow ing out of the nurplo obscurity to the north ward and ran like a stream of silver between the emerald borders. A peaceful sadness brooded over everything. liven tha sound of the cannon was a sound ot peace and not ot war. Tho thunder of tho national saluto which rolled alonir tho lino when tho funeral procession started from the City Hall had nothing of tho sound ot exultation in It but seemed rather tho salvo et vale of some grand chorous. Bv noon tho nsrject of the slones of River side park had changed and they wore black with people. But somehow tho presenco of the vast crowds on tha shoro only mado the peace nnd sorrow of the fleet seem mora complete. Tnen tho head of the funeral col umn reached the park nnd helmets and uni forms and bright bayonets gleamed along its creii, uuc smi cue sorrowful look ing fleet lay motionless on tho glassy tide anl from tho Dispatch every half-hour a tongue ot flams leaped forth, a wreath of smoke was blown away ami me sounu oi a c&unon rouoa irom snoro to shoro and died away In sobs far up among i Is.

An Immeuto Tlironx Wuldur ! n tlonlly All Day In tlio Sun. Beforo tho dew was olf tho grass people living far up town began to pick out choice situations for viewing tho final ceremonies in Riverside Park. Rather than struggle with the crowds In the streets downtown thoy pre ferred to wait all day hi tho sun nnd get a f;ood look at tho closing scenes, Whole fuml ies, bringing lunch with them, took posses sion of shade treos on tho blult and sat down full ot complacent satisfaction, feeling as sured that once having passed tho boundary lino ot tha park, the police would never tako the trouble to drivo them nil out again. Iu this they were sadly mistaken. Before 0 o'clock Capt Beatty sent his gray coatod policemen arouud tho park with in structions to send everybody not fortlflod with a permit beyond tho sidownlks skirting tho eastern limit of tho drive. Tho disap pointed early comers begged, pleaded, and entreated, but tho policemen had strict orders and were Insxorablo. Thus a long line of people, with their toes on the inner edge ot tho pavement, was formed from tho east crest of the bluff nt tho end ot the park as far as tho eye could reach down the drive, First It was n single line, soon It doubled, then it trebled, until the shoals of new arrivals that camo tramping across tho meadows in tho rear, wending their way through the dusty streets and taking short cuts over fences and ncross private yards, swelled It to an army. ah lootsteps tenuou to tna same point tlio tomb on the hilltop. It was marvelous to see Uie pooplo como. Mon and womon wero hurrying on foot, drag King crying children along by tha hand n though they had not n minute to lose, although tho body of tho great man whoso coffin they were all out on purpose tos;o had not yet left the City Hall. In cnbs, In carts. In 'busses, In lumbering trucks, In horso cars, or any thing that would run on wheels, tho inultl tudo kept coming, the number ot persons that rodo being invariably determined by the capacity of tho vehicle and not by tho physi cal endurance of the horses. As tho lino stretched further nnd further down tho edgo of the drive toward Seventy-second street, policemen were stretched out In front ot them, a few loet apart, it was a remarkable slgnt even for a Now Yorker, to see a straleht lino of blue coats and brass buttons nearly threo mnes long stemming back as eilectualiy as a tone breakwater sets a limit to the tldo tho turbulent, pushing crowd of human beings behind them. Woo to tha man or woman that tried to cross the sidewalk. At tho street corners the thoroughfare was kopt open, but no vehicles wero allowed to roll Into the park drive, nor could the wagons como to a standstill at the street lino. By 10 o'clock, when tho first gun from tho warshlpson the river announced to tho crowd that the great pageant was on its march, even people In tno rear could not And places to stand between 122d and 127th streets, so they began to broaden out tho lino down to ward the city almost out ot sight of the tomb. At any time, however, till tho fu neral procession enterod tho park good places wero not liard to find along tho lowor end of tho drive. The mlnuto guns on tho war ships had been marking tho steady progress of the procession for two hours beforo tho men working on tho tomb dropped their tools and left everything In readiness for re ceiving the body. So many llttlo details, not considered In tho hurry and bustle ot prelim inary preparation, remained to be attended to that the workmen never ccnso.1 their labors through the night, nnd continued right on till noon, with the exception of a brief rest for a hurried breakfast Tho little Runic cios3 that hurmounts th? cntranco to tho vault, instead of twlng left nn olive-green color, tho same as the iron gate, was finished olt In maroon and gilt Tho largo letter "G" on tho gate was gilded also. Tho carpenters' were luo last men to nun work, niter put, In? down a platform 125 feet long dlroctly front ing the tomb and about fifty feet from It, amply provided with wnts for distinguished guests at the ceremonies. THE CI.OMNi; CEItEMONIES. llefitiGfitl ami Impressive Services fit tlio Tomb. Amid buglo calls and tlw rapid shouting of orders, tho rattlo of musketry, the roll of drums, the prancln? of horses, immense bod ies of troops deploying into IJno and into col umns, long rows of bayonets glistening Uko streaks of burnished silver, tho boom and smoke of cannon rising from tho river, a great display of uniformed soldiery was soon massed around tlio tomb. It was a sight that thoso who saw it will never forgot Tho various regiments and bands, moving hero nnd halting there, formed a kaleidscopo of tho most brilliant colors. Tho Seventh regiment skirted tho bluff facing tho tomb, and tho Twenty -second con tinued In an even lino boyond them. Tho mariues fringed tho alrlve and crept up tho hill toward the hotel. The nrtillery men filled up a bend in tho plain to the right The regular infantry got behind the treos on the highest point of land in tho park, where thero is some talk of putting tho permanent tomb. The veterans filled in va cant places ns closo ns thoy could conveniently et to tho tomb, nnd yet leave room for the Istingulshed civilians nnd mourners. Gen eral Shaler and his stair, General Hancock's aides, and numerous others on horseback drew up within easy hearing of the vault and ad ded by their soldierly bearing to tbo magnifi cent Bpectacle. Meanwhile tho ratafalquo bad come to a halt closo by tho tomb, und the most promi nent men In the country wore getting out of carriages to bid a great hero farewell. Drs. Douglas, Bhrady and Sands stood within twenty feet of the bier of him over whom they bad watched so many anxious hours. The Rev. Dr. Newman and the llttlo group of clergymen of various coeeds who had been Invited to participate by their presence waited, with uncoverel heads, close nt hand. President Cleveland nnd tho membors of his cabinet, ex-Presidents nnd ex-enbinot officers, distinguished generals, judges and diplo mats, governors of States, heads of depart ments, and mayoisof great cities, were all dividing o!f into groupi and drawing cioer and clour nround tho tomb. Soon after tho black horses somewhat dusty from their long journey camo to a hs.lt soino members of tho U. S. Grant Post nscendo I tho cloth-covered steps to the top of tho cata falquo and roverently lifted down tho purplo coflln. while the immense crowd looked silently on with bonis uncovered. A path was voluntarily ojwned through tlio groups immediately surroundinj the vault, while the pall bearers stood reverently around tbo rod cedar casket hi this order: General William T. Sherman, United States army. Licut-Ucn. Philip It Sheridan, United States Army. Admiral David D. Porter, United States Navy. Vico-Admlral Stephen C. Rowan, United States Navy. Oen. Joseph E.

Georgo Jones, of New York. Oliver Hoyt of New York. There was hardly a sound, except tho roll of drums In tho distance and the tread of np iiroiehlng troops, nbllo tho cotlln w.is lowered Into the coso and the undert ikur scrawod on the lid. Then the wreath of oak leaves that tho dead general's grandchild Julia and Dr. Douglas' llttlo daughter made In tho woods at Mount McUregor was placed upon It This wraath, with others put on afterward by tha Meado Post, wont into the tomb with tho body. Thoro was another pnuso nud another open ing In tho groups a minute later when tho memuers or. ueuerai urant s lamuy waikeu very slowly from tholr carriages and halted although not at all demonstrative, crief at I tho hour of final parting touched tho hearts of thousands who witnessed it. A cluster ofclouds tempered the fierce rays .of the sun from the bared heads ot those gathered around the coflln as the Meado Post, i of Philadelphia, joined the group near tho i rollln and began the beautiful ritual of the Grand Army of tho Republic, Tho entire , Post hod oxiiected to participate in this, and there was gnwt disappointment when General Hancock decided to allow onlv twenty members to como near tho grave, Forming In open order around the body, tho post took position, with tho commander at tuo ueaa ot tuo comn. me cnapiaiu nt luo foot, tha officers and past commanders In the rear of the commander, und the post in the rear ot tho chaplain, and tho colors wero brought to tho front. After n prayer by tho chaplain and a dirge by tho band, Com niauder Reod said; "Ono by one, as tho years roll on. wo aro called together to fulfill tho last cad rites of respect to our comradus of tho war. Tha present, full ot tho cares and pleasures ot civil llfo, fadoj away, and wo liok back to tho time when, shoulderto shoulder, on many battle fields or arouud tho guns ot our men-of-war, we fought for our dear old flag. We may indulge tue hope that the spirit with which on land and sea hardship, privation, and danger were encountered by our dead heroes may never bo blotted out from tho hlstorv nr memories of tho ceneratlons to come a spirit uncomplaining, obedient to tho behest of duty, whereby to-dny our na tional honor Is secure and our lovod ones rest In peace under the protection ot mo uear oia flag. May tho Illustrious life of him whom we lay In tho tomb to day prove n glorious incentive to tha youth, who, In tho ages to como, may bo called upon to uphold tho desti nies of our country. As tho years roll on wo, too.shnll have fought our battles through and belaid to rest,our souls following thelong col umn to the realms aboro, as grim death, hour by hour, shall mark Its victims. Let us so lfvo that when that tlrao shall como thoso wo leave behind mnv say above our graves, 'Hero lies the body of a true-hearted, bravo nnd earnest defender of tho Republic.'" Comrade Moore laid a wreath of evcrgreon upon tlio coffin as a symbol of undying lovo from soldier comrades, nnd Comrado Welder slielm placed a full blown whlto roso beside It ns a synlbol of unselfish devotion. Com rado Sellers followed them with a laurel svreath, saying! "Last token of affection from comrades In arms, wo crown these re mains with n symbol of victory." These slmplo ceremonies wero followed by tho following mldrcss by tho Rov. J. A. Sayers, Grand Army Chnplaln-iu-Chlef of the Department of Pennsylvania: "Tho inarch of another comrado Is over, and he lies down after it In the house ap pointed for all the living. Thus summoned this open tomb reminds us ot tho frailty ot human life and the tenure by which we hold our own. 'In such an hour ns yo think not tho Son of Man cometh.' It seems well wo should leave our comrado to rest where over htm will bend the arching sky as it did in great lovo n hen ho pitched his tent or lay clown weary by tho way or on tbo battle field for an hour's Bleep. As be was then so he is still In the hands of tho Heavenly Father, 'God glveth His beloved sleep.' "As we lay our comrade clown hero to rest let us cherish his virtues and strive to emu late his example. Reminded forcibly by tho vacant place so lato filled by our deceased brother that our ranks are thinning, let oach one be so loyal to every virtue, so truo to every friendship, so faithful in our remain ing march, that wo shall be ready to fall out hero to take our places at tho great review, not with doubt but in faith; tho merciful Captain of our salvation will call us to that fraternity which, on earth and in heaven, may remain unbroken.

Bishop Harris stood near tho coffin with nn open prayer book, his white hair and striking toa tures making a complcuous feature in tlio group, and began to road the Methodist Epis copal burial service, "I nm the resurrection nnd tho life." As he began tho sun came out from bahlnd tho clouds and some considerate person sheltered tho bishop with an umbrella. Several persons who listened to him wero visibly nuocteu wnon tbo bishop read very touchinglv tha linos bezlnnlnir "Oh. death, whero is thy stlugl" Dr. Newman, with services nt Mount McGregor, nnd she pro tears coursing down his cheeks, read from ferrcd to havo that as the remembrance of tho Scriptures, and then led in tho Lord's , their lost parting.

Thero was a slight creaking, ns of rollers, which soon ceased, and the listening mourners know that tho old hero's mortal remains had reached tho end of their long journoy. The men standing noar tho gate drow back and let tho beroaved children stand looking in at tho entranco ot tho tomb for a moment, their heads bowed In grief.

As the last gun of tlio presidential saluto was flrod tho Seventh and Twonty-second regiments of tho Nationnl Guard, si hich was formed in double column on tho wostern boundary of tho park, faced about nnd begnn their march from tho ground. Back of theso regiments stood u crowd that extended from tho line of gray aud white to tha edgo of the bank that overlooked tha Hudson. As tho inarch bejan four sentinels took position about tho vault, one at each corner. Thoy wero selected from Battery II, Fifth United States Artillery. Tho Federal forces followed thoso ot the National Guard. For hours tho immense crowd had stood outside of this lino without a thought of ven turing beyond it. When the rear ranks in their desire to obtain a glimpse of what was occur i Ing iu the, to thorn, charmed circle, would push forward tho inner ranks would make tho most deorato efforts to prevent the lino from being broken. The officers in consequence wero put to comparatively little trouble In keeping the space clear, Their presenco on the ground seemed to be sulll c:lent. Tho moment they retired from their osltlous tho same idea seamed to possess each ono of the waiting thousands. Thero was a wild and sudden rush from all sides to a common center. For hours thou sands of men and womon had stood patiently in the Bun, buoyed up with tlio hope of wit nessing not only tho funeral ceremonies of General Grant, but ot examining as closely as posilblo tho tomb to which his remains had been consigned. Now that thei o seemed to bo no obstacle to the fulfillment of this de sire, the imaginary lino was wiped out In an Instant. The huge stands that faced tho front and rear of tho vault were deserted almost as quickly as if their occupants had been hurled to tho ground against their will. Mostot the carriages had left tho drive. Tboso which remained wero uuahlo to movo for fifteen minutes. Tholr drivers could do nothing but try to quiet their frightened horses. Tho crowd that had occupied tho grounu ou tuo eastern uounuary oi mo park i surged around and past them In a solid mass nnd then swept across the open space, be yond which lay tho tomb, with tho rush of a mountain torrent For hours men and women Died past the tomb. The inner door of oak was thrown lack. Tho outer door of Iron lattice work wa3 closed, but through tho liars tlio Interior of tho tomb nnd tho caskot which contained tho remains could bo plainly seen. No ono was allowed to stop, or even to hcsltute In tho hasty march, ns those in front wero sub jected to a constant and heavy pressure by tho30 in the rear. Those who passod tho tomb had simply an opiiortuulty of casting n fleeting glanco at its intorlor. Few probably saw the casket, as thoy had little Idea of what to expect But tho fact that they hod looked at the spot whero General Grant's body lay seemed to satisfy everybody. The crowd ot jicrsons eager and curious to peer Into the tomb pressod cn in seemingly endless line until 0 o'clock, when Captain Beatty, of tho park police, ordered his men to closo tho passageway made by their lines, and to remove tho crowd from tho vicinity of tho tomb. Thero wero then remaining not less than 4,000 persons within sound of a pistol shot, fully half of whom had not had a chanco to pass in front of tho tomb, and nearly allot thoso who had not passed wanted to do so. Tho pollco acted with dispatch, nnd within fifteen minutes thoy hid cleared a space for ono hundred feet from the entranco to tho tomb In front, and also tho chained enclosure on tho slopo nbovo and behind. After this tho gatherine dwindled fast, nlthouzh enough yet remained t3 make a largo crowd, probably 2,000 per sons. A group of men had been waiting for nn hour or longer under a treo just back of the tomb. Ono of them kept his hand on nn Iron machlno about tho slzo ofa haycutlerand resembling a hnycuttcr In Its scoop nnd wheel. Another stood nta barrel filled with soft coal. Several boxes lay near. Tin men wero all from tho Franklin Iron works, of Troy, whero tho steel case was made. Thotr apparatus like a hay cutter was n portable blast furnace, tno wheel propelling tho fan benoath tho scoop In which tho coal was to burn. Tho boxes contained tho fifty wrought Iron rivets that wero to be put In tho steel case and that wera to fasten it to its stono foundation, with the tools for that work. When tho crowd was clearod away the men carried their apparatus within thotomb. Thoblastiurnaeowassetup and started between the steel case and the door. All of the men worked Insido tho tomb. Tho riveting began at about 0:45. It was a small place for so many men, and work proceeded slowly. By 0 o'clock, howover, tho work was over and tho workmen emerged. The tomb was then closed and loft to tlio caro of Cap tain J. A. Fessenden, with Battery II, Fifth Artillery, who havo pitched camp under tho trees In sight of tho tomb, oipocting to ro main thero at least thirty days. Captain Beatty als detailed n squad of men to tbo neighborhood for tho lilglit The crowd that watched tho beginning ot tho work of tho men with the rivets grew rapidly less after sunset anil had dwindled to 1(M or so when tho tomb was closed. Many of tho lato arrivals wero well dressed ladles. THE H.VT FAiUII.V. Their I.mt Tribute Mnnr Expres sions ot Sj-inpnilij.
