Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-06


| May each bright, glorious, cleaning star
| OF Gods own setting, still be there!
| We come again people free,
With hearts to holy Freedom true;
| o, glorious baaner, unto thee
Our oaths we here renew.
| .. idol of our hearts deslresl
| y, sacred symbol of our sifes!
triumphant still, through doubts and fears,
| Q, thrice bap aptized in bloSd and tears;
| While Planets blaze or ocean rolls,
| TO lave and kiss our sacred shore,
TO guard the with our lives and souls,
10 Keep thee pure forevermore;-
Whatever treemen yet have done
| Or patriots still may do or dare,
Here, in The sight of Freedom's sun,
With bended heads, all rev'rent bare,
Beneath thy folds, we swear! we swear!
After another musical selection by
the band, Gen. .Volney E. Howard de-
livered the grafton, which occupied
about thirty minutes time. We regret
that we cannot give an abstract of it,
as it was logical aud eloquent.
Patriotic music by the band was fol-
lowed by prayer from the Chaplain,
Rev. Mr.. Edelman, which concluded the
ceremonies at the grounds.
The line of march was again formed
and the procession followed the pub.
lished route to the place of beginning,
lutes and cheering.
