LEXINGTON, April I9.-FollowinR is a summary
Of the GRAFTON delivered to-day by George William

1--WE are fortunate that we behold this day the
heavens beaming benignly over US. The earth bios
SONS with renewed life. and our hearts beat ~joyfully
together with one emotion Of fliSl gratitude and pa
triotic exultation. Citizens Of a great, free and
prosperous country, we come together 10 honor the
men, our fathers, who, on this spot and on this day
one hundred years ago, struck the first blow Of the
contest which made this country independent. Here
beneath the hills they trod, by the peaceful river on
whose shores they sowed and reaped, proudly re-
membering their valor, we come 70 tell their lofty
standard, TO know if we are their worthy children.
And standing re~verently where they stood and fought
and died, to swear before God and each other, in the
words of Him upon whom in our day the spirit Of
the Revolutionary fathers visibly descended, that the
Government Of the people, for the people and by the
people, shall not perish from the earth This an
Gent town, with its ~neighbors to share its glory, has
never failed fifty to m this great day Of
Its history. Fifty years ago, when some Of the Con-
cord soldiers were still living; 20 years ago, when
still a few venerable survivors fingered, with prayer,
~elOquence and song. they renewed the pious vow.
But the last living link Of the Revolution has been
broken. Great events and a mightier struggle have
absorbed our own generations; yet we who stand
here to-day have a sympathy with the men at the
Old North Bridge, with those who preceded US here,
which earlier celebrations could not know. With
them war was a name, a tradition"
