Union Band under the leadership of FRED.
PIscHEL, discoursed sweet music as the pro
cession moved through the principal streets
and to Millions Grove, where the usual ex-
ercises for such occasions were Rad-Rev.
Mr., BCRNARD officiating as chaplain, CALVERT
SPENsLEr reading tile Declaration of indie
pendencc, and T. ScoTT ASsLEY delivering
brief but well prepared grafton. The exer-
cises we're interspersed with music by the
Glee Club and Band, to each of which much
credit is due for the admirable performance
Of their parts.
Excellent Dinners were served up both in
the Grove and at Lenahans Hall, to which
ample Justice was done by the hungry crowd.
