BosToN, June 19.-Such a sight as I have
seen to-day. just try to realize for moment
the spectacle of ten thousand bright and happy
little Whitehead angels, chanting til cir hymns
of praise. The sight was heavenly one And
then there was the rumbling bass of the big or.
gan; the immense crowd of auditors, larger
than the entire population of the largest city
tia wilderness Of violins, cellos and brass in.
struments; the grandeur of the occasion and a
hundred other immensities which combined to
make the scene magnificent.
THE CHILDREN --.s,.s.ons u
the Grammar and large delegation from the
Girls High and Normal schools There were
nearly ten thousand of them. They came to
the Coliseum in horse cars and omnibuses, in
trailing professions and in knots Of three and
four. The day has been aholiday for them all,
consecrated by music and hallowed by the sub
iect of its creation. 1t was some minutes be-
fore even the potent and familiar wand of Mr..
Eichberg could quiet the noise and hustle of
the youthful throng. Then quiet was finally
produced, the great organ struck the sigma,
note and the chorus from their seats The
programme was then proceeded with as fol-
lows: % aliH sI9D i&t4aat siaoHs
