The grand Centennial tea party, given
under the auspices of the "Nonpareil

place a few evenings ago at the Town
Hall, and all admit that it was splen-
did success. For many years our viii
lage has been noted for her brilliant en-
tertainments, but the "CentenuiaW

grandest ever witnessed in the village.
Never were the social, intellectual,
musical and patriotic more happily
blended.
Il The exercises opened at precisely 8
O'Clock P. M. The first thing on the pro-
lgramme was the singing of that grand
old National air, "America," by the en-
tire audience. The deep tones of the
organ, blending in the most beautiful
harmony with hundred voices. rem
> dered the performance very Impressive.
The lady members of the Club wore
Martha Washington costumes, consist.
ling of caps, capes and aprons, which
> added much TO the novelty and interest
, of the occasions. The stage and hall
were also very tastefully decorated
Behind the Presidents chair hung, in
large size, the portraits OF George and
Martha Washington. On the walls were
: to be seen, in large figures, ''1776-l876,' p
indicating most appropriately and sig
nlticantly the flight Of hundred years
. since the great Declaration. On the
right of the stage nung in graceful folds
. 1.-The American flag, which appeared more
' beautiful that night than it had ever ap
peared before. Well might it be called
q the "banner of beauty and glory"
The "CentennIap supper was gotter
up with the most exquisite taste, IL
o which the present anu the revolution
:, ary era were neatly contrasted. W.
have seen nothing equal TO IL for years

lar ia f.h. "A and
u plemepted by the most stirring nationa
d airs-sueh as ''Star Spangled Banner,

One of the most interesting feature
G of the occasion was the speech Of th
. venerable and distinguished X. III. Va
8 Rensselaer, in response to the toast
"Our Pilgrim Fathers-may their virtue
Il and sacrifices remain fresh in the mem
!. ory of their descendants torevermore.
+ This speech was made about IL o'clock
q and made deep impression. Mr.. V. i

guest was the connecting link betWee
the present and the Revolution.
I'll About half-past II O'Clock the Club at
