THE LATE MR STOREY.

AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL. Press A ssociation—Copyright. Sydney, October 7. The route of the funeral of Mr John Storey (Premier of New South Wales), from the Cathedral to the railway station was, for several hours before the cortege moved, lined with dense crowds. After an impressive service at the Cathedral conducted by the Dean and Primate of Sydney, the procession, which was headed by the Fire Brigade Band and three thousand marching unionists, left for Field Mars cemetery. At the railway station special trams were waiting for those marching to the Cathedral, where the body lay in state. It was visited by many thousands. It was one of the largest and most representative funerals held in the State, four motor cars being necessary to carry the floral tributes. Members of the Federal Labor Party were absent, the secretary telegraphing that they were unable to attend owing to the critical position in the House of Representatives.
