services under tho immediate supervision of
tho Grant family, nnd the funeral sermon by
Rev. Dr. Newman, at Mount McGregor;

whero tho body was viewod in tha Stato ciii

of spectators to the City Hall, whero the
body v as placed in tho rotunda and during
the next two days and nights viewed by a
constantly jossing stream of humanity, which
stretched at times for throo-quarters of a

Tho final ceremonies attending tho removal
of the body of General Grant from tho New
York city hall, whero it ha 1 boon lying in

6ido Tnrk, began with military promptitude,
General Hancock taking his place at tho
bead of tho groat column assembled to do
honor to tho dead commander of tho Union
armies promptly at U o'clock. The sceno at
tho moment was most imposing and impres-
Ire, at once grand nnd solemn. Tlio skies
6mllcd upon the imgoant, and tho sun bright
ened ovcry gleam of gold or stool with tho
uiaglo of his rays.
All night long tho preparations for tho
Sroat event went forward ceaselessly. At tho
liferent headquarters olllcers wero busy
completing tho necessary dotnlls; in tha
streets tho liollco wero beginning to form
their linos; In tho city hall the guards stood
rigidly around their sacred trust;- ond along
tho lino of march, especially in tin upper
part of tho city, tho noise of hammers und
saws disturbed tho silence ot night, as men
labored eagerly to complete tho liooths and
stands which were lot to sightseers at great
profit. With early morn tho human tide

lino selected for tho funeral procession. Tho
people lioured into tho city in converging
streams from IJrooklyn, from Now Joisoy,
from Staten Island, from Westchester county
nud Connecticut, to say nothing of tho
strangers who journeyed from more distant
parts.

At 1 o'clock A. M., tho Iron gates of tho
City Hall wero closed against a long column
of people still trying to see tho faco of tho
dead general. Then tho policemen filed
through. This loft tho crowd out.ldo unre

pressod its faces against the iron bars. Order
was restored, but men nnd women still hung

Tha police olliclals saw llio earnestness of

Seventy-first regiment wero relioved. A now
set of men occuplod tho jiositiou of the Grand

Impressive as tho night went on. The hollow
square of Grand Army men stood as still as

officers of tho Seventy-first, ono standing at

Meanwhile, tho coffin's lid had liceu put tem

But It was n most orderly crowd. There was

eagerness of nil to get as good a sight ns pos

violent pushing or crowding which usually
characterises a gathering of the kind.
It was evident that the great throng, com
posed as it was ot tha most widely different
elements, was of but one thuught that ot
showing respect and reverence for tho
horolo dead. As tho great, black funeral
car and its precious burden moved from its
position many heads were uncovered and
bowed until It hail passed. The throng
around tho carriages of the pall-bear-crs,

New Yorkers who knew Us advantages
sought tho spot at an early hour ami secured
positions along the nuowaiK?, on tno lamp

the tall tilegrnph ioles. The people looking
out of their windows actually discovered the
walks filling up at 7 o'clock iu tho morning,
three hours nt least before even tho head of
tho procession could pass their way,
1 ho crowds bwnrmol into tha nvenuo as

when a squad of mounted men lit tho f amll lar

Its parts being wedged into the crowd nl

away tho remnants, and the granite blocks
wero cleared for the column, now becoming
distinctly defined in the distance.
It was 10:30 when Major-Gonoral Wlnflcld
Scott Hancock rodo past on his black horso,
with his staff clattering at its very heels. Be
hind them, as far a3 tho eye could measure
thoavenuo, wero massed tho regiments ill
their brilliant uniforms, thoir guns glisten
ing in the sun, their colors draped, and
their slow steps keeping time to the music of
many dirges for the dead. Compnnies of
United States regulars were at their head, the
batteries ot tha Fifth rumbling over the
f ranlto road In advance of the rest The in
antrymen swung along behind with their
machlno-llke tread. The faintest of taps
wero sounded by tho muflled drums. Tho
bluejackets wero the subject of many admir
ing comments from tho crowd. They
presented a very attractive appear
ance in sixteen files front, clad in
blue brooches and whito lesdnzs. whlto
shirts with broad blue collars, and whito caps
with black bands. Although they presented
n steady front, theft- marching showed thoy
w ere moro familiar with tho rolling motion of
a ship than the slippery surface of the pave
ments. The marines were mistaken by many
for land soldiers. Their uniform was in
marked contrast to that ot the blue-jackets,
it consisted ot white trousers, blue coats with
bright yellow epaulets nnd whlto helmets,
Uko several companies of the bluejnekots,
they were armed with rilles. The Marino

Perhaps tho most nttractivo feature in tho
eyes of the crowd was tho bluejacket battery
of artillory, with it3 oight small ship's guns.
There was a gap in tlio column which re
quire I a long time to fill. The last whlto

Twenty-second, tho Ninth, Twelfth and tho
