WHERE HEROES LIE. Under Bright Skies ThousandsGather in the Cemeteries. —_—— FLOWERS FOR PATRIOT DEAD. The Grand Army's Impressive Tri- bute to Their Fallen Comrades. ELOQUENCE, FLOWERS AND POETRY. ———— In all the twenty-five years that have closed over the civil war and softened its memories into the “gentle tear of recollection” no brighter or fairer day bas dawned than that which now warms the narrow homes of the fallen heroes of the republic, while thousands of friends gather to do them honor, ail know- ing that every blade of grass that grows or flower that blooms above their graves 18 a mute witness to deeds of glory they have done, Dering the night the many statues im the parks and avenues of the city were gaily decorated with flags and floral wreaths by the several Grand Army posts, and at an early hour this morning the city took on its usual Memorial day appearan At Grand Army Hall # vast crowd had gathered to witness the formation of the procession and the departure of the several detachments to Arlington, Soldiers’ Home, Rock Creck and Congresssonal cemeteries, where formal exercises were held by the surviving comrades. As the de- partments were closed, picnic parties were slip- ping out of town in all directions for quiet excursions, while quite a number of soldiers and civilians went to Gettysburg, Fredericks- burg and other points, In the absence of the President and cabinet, whowent to veland yesterday, the White House suspended opera- tions for the day and the politicians deserted the hoteis. THE VETERANS IN LINE. Parade of the Grand Army Posts— Scenes Along the Route. ‘To the strains of martial music and under the flag which they had fought to defend the vet- erans of the Grand Army marched today to Arlington Cemetery. The weather was auspi- cious and the bright sunlight and soft balmy air had an inspiring effect. In accordance with } the annual custom the members of the Grand Army posts assembled at Grand Army Hall on Pennsylvania avenue this morning and then formed in line according to the number of the posts. Most of the veterans wore the blue sits and military slouch hate, which are the distinctive feature of the Grand Army uniform. On their breasts were worn Grand Army badges, and many of them car- ried bouquets of flowers to place upon the graves of their comrades, As the lines were formed it was noted that here and there stood a man wit) only one arm, and then one whose cane supplemented the cork leg. Ax one of the veterins jokingly suggested. “It would take several of us to make one complete man.” However, the veterans stepped along briskly, and their military training was evident from their appearance in the line. TRE SCENE ON THE AVENUE, The avenue in front of Grand Army Hall presented an animated appearance for some time prior to 10 o'clock, which was the hour fixed upon for the procession to start, ‘Lhe posts were ranged in line as fast as they marched to the place of meeting and the move- ment of the various bodics and the flutter of flags presented a picturesque scenc. People passing along stopped to Jouk upon the specta- | cle and by the time the procession was ready | to move the side walks were massed with in- terested lookerson. The arrival of a body accompanied by a band playmg a lively tune would create a stir. Department Com- mander M. Emmett Urell and Assistant Adju- tant General J. C. 8. Burger, mounted on horses, dashed hither and thither, giving direc- tions and seeing that the line was being formed with the military precision which the old veterans love. The special escort of the Grand Army posts, the Old Guard, Capt. James M. Edgar commanding, was early on the ground, and later the John A. Loy Camp, No. 2. Sons of Veterans, Capt. Chas. Conrad commanding, marched to their place. | As they filed past the line of the Grand Army posts the veterans looked upon the trim. manly figures of the young men with considerable interest, ‘They saw there the men who will take their places and keep alive the patriotic order which the founders of the Grand Arm¥ established. Logan Campcarried the beautiful silk fag which was presented last evening by the Ladies’ Aid. THE MILITARY ESCORT, About 10 o'clock the military escort of the Grand Army, the Union Veteran Corps, third battalion National Guard, left their armory and marched up the avenue, preceded by ths National Guard Baud, They marched at once into position at 15th street. and then the order for marching was given by Commander Urell. The line swung out in the avenue promptly, aud ata good marching step proceeded up to 15th street, and then in front of the Treasury building to the avenue again, and out to the Aqueduct Brid, where the military escort stopped and the veterans proceeded to Arling- ton Cemetery. ORGANIZATIONS IN LINE. The various bodies in line were as follows: National Guard Band; third battalion National Guard (Union Veteran Corps), Maj. Thos.

AT CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY, Representative Mason Has Something to Say About Richmond’s Celebration. Congressional Cemetery never looked pret- tier than it did this morning as the lines of boys in blue filed in to decorate the graves of their heroes who lio buried there. The grass seemed more than usually green ana the trees cast a pleasant shade over the mounds, the lawns and the graveled paths. The bodies of nearly five hundred of the soldiers of the war are buried in this historic cemetery and there was a large concourse of people who came out to do reverence to the memories of the dead.
