THIRD DIVISION.

Closely following the Second Division came the Third Division.

This division was led by Colonel Frank E. Howe, Grand Marshal, and his aids, J. A. Stevens, Jr., and Major James R. Smith, mounted on splendid gray horses, and wearing mourning-scarfs of black silk over the shoulder. They were succeeded by the band and drum

The rear of the division was brought up by the Cadets of Temperance, and the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance, in full regalia, and numbering about four hundred men.

THE FOURTH DIVISION.

The fourth division was composed exclusively of the Masonic fraternity and other orders. If the nearly total absence of the usual regalia hindered the lodges from presenting the imposing appearance which such a large body of men arrayed in the brilliant insignia of their order would undoubtedly exhibit, yet, attired in uniform black habiliments, and aided only by simple, unpretending mourning badges and sprigs of acacia-the emblem of immortality-worn by them, their appearance was striking in the extreme, and appropriate to the mournful occasion.

This division was headed by General Hobart Ward, Marshal, and his aids, and a brass band, and were followed by the lodges of the Free and Accepted Masons of New York, Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Harlem.

These were succeeded by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, headed by their band and banner, and which consisted of the Grand Lodge and nineteen subordinate lodges, numbering altogether one thousand members. The next was the Independent Order of Red Men, in front of whom was borne three massive links of a chain draped with crape, followed by their banner also covered with black. The eighteen lodges composing this sub-division numbered about fifteen hundred men.

The fourteen lodges of the Bnai Bareth, or Sons of the Covenant, came next, preceded by their band and banner, and numbered about fifteen hundred members.

The Free Sons of Israel, consisting of nine lodges, with their

band, succeeded them, and were headed by a very large white and black banner, with the word "Lincoln" in the centre, and around it the words, "The father of this country is dead; the nation mourns for him."

The next in order were Abraham Lodge, No. 1, O. B. A., numbering about forty-eight members; and the Sclavonic Union Society, A. B. Zaremba, Master, consisting of about three hundred members. These, again, were succeeded by the order of Bnai Morsch, which carried two beautiful colored banners, and numbered about four hundred persons. The Chebra Anshe Emuno, Martin Stark, Presi dent, numbering one hundred members, followed; after which the only order in the procession which wore the full regalia appearednamely, the United Brother's Lodge, No. 1-with red scarfs, red aprons, and other insignia of their Order. This lodge was about one hundred strong.

THE FIFTH DIVISION.

This Division was composed of Irish societies. Green and gold, mingled unhappily with the solemn badges of the grave, were the devices which each man wore in the ranks.

The United Sons of Erin, with a banner heavily draped, numbered about one thousand men, each wearing the green collar tipped with gold, and, in some instances, draped.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians, in strong force-numbering, perhaps, two thousand men. They were headed by a splendid drum corps, and the melancholy notes of "The Blackbird"-which are familiar to every Irishman-played on the fife and drum, was their funeral dirge.

The Society of the Immaculate Concption.

St. Peter's Temperance Society.

Next the cadets of St. James's Temperance Society, followed by that body in large numbers. The cadets numbered one hundred and thirty-one boys, dressed neatly in green jackets and red capes, with green trimmings.
