PRESENTATION SPEECHES following
were the remarks made by Capt q. ". Cut
ter. on presenting First Lieut.. Baden of the
Presidents Mounted Guard, with the beauti.
full silver cup won by him at the recent target
match of the officers of the company:
First Lieutenant Baden The very pleasing
duty has been conferred by your Captain upon
me, OF presenting you there amidst your com.
panions in arms with this beautiful silver
cup, as trophy of soldierly skill in the use of
your arms. An emblem Of hospitality, and
fitting monument of the artistic skill of your
noble city. Its uses are best known by the
weary soldier upon the scorched ard arid
wastes over which, in The service of his coun-
try, he is frequently called to march; and in
the hour of victory, which under the proyi-
dence of God We have been allo we'd 80 often to
celebrate
ltschaste and exquisite workmanship is not
only characteristic Of the place where it was
made, but is in strict accordance with everv
feature mat characterize your company which
has been long considered one of the proudest
ornaments of the City of Washington. Your
Uniform, while it varies but little from the
standard set up by our most experienced Off
GERS, Is adorned by taste peculiarly your
own. With Captain, not only beloved BY
yourselves, but whose kindness Of heart high
senre o. honor, and gentlemanIy bearing, has
won for him the abiding affection of all who
have the honor of his acquaintance. With
strict subordinaion and the finest discipline
in your ranks, you bear the proper anne, and
although I am conscious that the hour is for
ever distant when the Chief of this generous
and patriotic land will here have need of any
other guard than the affections and self-re-
spect Of magnanimous people, yet he is by
tss Constitution made the commander of the
army and navy, and, if occasion should re-
quire, has right to place himself at your
bead and lead you to battle May that neces-
sity never exist but if it should the inspira-
ton of this moment gives assurance to my
heart that the ''Old Guard would become the
"Legion of Honor and this cup, sir, which
have the honor Of now placing in your hands,
would often brim, with "bip, hurrah ~ to the
ti.tories which would link his name with
the heroes of the world
To which Lieut.. Baden replied
Fellow-Soldiers: receive, with soldiers
gratitude for myself and my companions in
arms, this beautiful emblem of fraternal re.
gard, to be cherished and preserved with a
soldiers fidelity, as long as the organization
of the Presidents Mounted Guard shall exist
which, from my heart / hope will be much
longer than my life may last.
10 be settled by the 8 fate Of war" but / feel
no anxious concern In regard to the event, for,
gentlemen, although "Our numbers are many
our hearts are but one" Wherever you find
this cup hereafter, l am confident its rich and
beautiful form will always be ready to over
TOW with the pledge Of hospitality, as the heart
Of its present recipient now oyerfows with the
abiding emotions this moment has inspired;
DONNA YALERY GoxEz's CoxcERr-This
iadys concert will be repeated on this
evening, at Carusi's Saloon, and Judging from
the very select and enthusiastic audience that
attended on monday evening last, we may con-
ddently predict full and fashionable house.
Mdle- TONERS talent is of the first order,
and we might say positively that she is one of
the brightest stars in the musical armament.
Her voice is one of the richest and sweetest
we ever heard In singing tho celebrated va
rlauons OF Berlot, her yocalization of each
note was most perfect and distinct. Her com.
pass OF voice is great, and her low notes are
very powerful and rich. After hearing Son.
tag, Grlsi, Alboni, We did not think Donna
Gome1 would please so much. Sho is Younger
than either of them Mdlle Urso, female yio-
Ilnist, is wonderful performer. She has
even more power on the violin than most gen.
1iemen performers, and her touch is positive
and more graceful. Mons. Wolouski. the
pianist did wonders that evening on his ia
u
was most graciously received by the audience.
we hope to see crowded house this evening,
"a II Is the last concert they give in this city.
