The responses to the several toasts,
were eloquent and appropriate and
received with applause. The music
by the band and the choir, was admir-
ably rendered and gave the highest
satisfaction to all who had the pleas
ure of listening to it. The move
ments OF the cavalcade would have
done credit to trained horses, and be-
ing handsomely caparlsoned, with
flags to each horse, the effect was very
fine in the escort. The masters, with
members, of the several oranges Of the
neighboring towns were present, in
Guiding a very large delegation from
South Woodstock. The best order
prevailed during the day and great
credit is due the gentlemen who had
charge of the arrangements The fir
ing of a national salute at shutdown
closed the celebration.
