Tney were followed by Hancock's staff and regulars, who upon upLxrunching the hotel reversed arms, ond the bands played mouraful dirges. On the east side of Fifth avenue the regimenta of the First division were drawn up, and on the west side of the avenue the Grand Army of the Republic organiza ions extended down as far as the eye could reach, Between these files passed the long procession with VEILED FLAGS AND MOFFLED DRUMS, and arms reversed in eadness, The great silent throng watched it pass in silenca, Tho streets were literally packed and not a foot of standing room appesred, The Twenty- second regiment of state troops made & con- tinuous file facing tha hote'; to the north of it, the First aud Second batteries held the avenue as far as Twenty-eighth street.

Tattered banners veilod in black were conspicuous, and many posta carried a8 distinctive badges, eprigs of myrtle or evergreen on their brensts. The procossion seemed unending, stretch ing southward as far as the eye could eee The streets all the way to the tomb were packed with people, and as the right of the column approached the tomb, the reverbera tions of guns from the men-of-war were heard, and the troops broke column from the left, marching to the right on the east side of road, After forming line arme were present- ed, and the CATAFALQUE SLOWLY PASSED, . The crowd on Fith avenue remained on the sidewalk with remarkable persistency until the long parade had pnuer[ There were a fow cases of prostration in the ranks, but so far a3 known none were fatal, Regimental ambulances were called into requisition for slight causes perhaps a half n dozen times, At the corner of Fifcy-sevonth street. where the line turned ~ to the west the crowd swelled from the sides to opon a way aad blocked the thoroughfare ont wenty occasions, There was some trouble when the catafalqno reached that point Tiveryboly was more interested in the ap- proach of this than in auything else. The procession was watched for blocks away, ita conspicuons height makiog 1t visible as far as about Fiftieth street. AS IT NEARED THE CORNZR the crowd naturally bulged to the highway, sndthe officers had to threaten them with their clubs to make the spuctators recede, and it was a difficult procsss, The peopls wern standing eight and ten deep, and some of thoso in frimt had raised their umbrellas to keep off the sun’s rays. Some women stood with their babes in their arme, and fathers had hoisted their lit- os to their shoulders, tructions were pumerous, and thoee at ar were becoming indignant, but as tho catafalqus came up the aunoyance was fo gotten, and only resvect was felt, As it wa tho leaders of horses wero ordered to make a sweeping turn, and that was the only way in which the interested gatherivg conld be diiven back, People fell back from the horses as though a SPIRIT HAD APPEARED, and ordered their ratreat. With a sponta nioty that told of their reverenca, every man raised his hat as the first horse cama abreast of him, and remained uncovered until the body pas-ed him, After the presidont, the cabinet, judges of the supreme court, senators and members of the house of reprentatives, governors and their staffs, ex-presidents, foreign mi ters, diplomatic officers and representativ of 'the army and navy had passed the procession had bagun to break up, Vet- ecan and civic orgauizations left Fifch avenue by any of the streets between Fifty-third and llj‘ll.y-uinth streetsjand gradually fell out of ine, AT THE TOMB.
