AT a golden wedding in New York
thirty grandchildren and great. grand.
children Of the aged pair marched into
the room, two and two, the larger first,
then the smaller, until the rear was
brought up by toddlers of two years.
Each child carried a bouquet of flowers,
which decreased in STA, as did the bear.
ers, until the last two bore each a single
blue violet. Filing past their grandpa
rents, each child presented the flowers to
them, the boys to the grandmother and
the girls to the grandpapa, and in max.
ing the presentation, each recited a verse
of a poem descriptive of the occasion.

Last evening Miss Cameron appeared in two
OF her favorite roles and to say that she did
hnely in each is but doing her simple Justice
The bill of the evening was Honeymoon" and
Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady" In
the first piece as Juliana Miss Cameron ap-
peared to excellent advantage, and her efforts
were warmly received by the audience. She
received very good support by the company.
Mr.. Gossin showed much good taste in the
manner in which he dressed and played the
part of the Duke. Mr.. Armstrong was very
good as Rolando, although at times he showed
disposition to overact. Miss Williams was a
very pert Volante, playing the part with much
spirit, Mr. Mccall as BalthazaI and Mr..
Theodore as Jacques were good. The others
do not call for special mention.
The Duchess of Miss Cameron In the second
play was one of the best of her impersonations.
She dressed the part very deliberately and with
her usual good taste. Mr.. Gossin proved yery
effective as Ruy Gomez and his make up was
excellent. Mr.. Mccall was good MARQUIS
and Miss Hardy was passable as Leonora. The
play was not sufficiently rehearsed to run as
smoothly as could be desired and several of the
support forgot their. lines in both plays
The same bill will be given this evening and
the defects of last evening will be remeded.

GOLDEN WEDDING.-The golden wedding of
Stephen and Clara Matilda (Benson) Thurston
was celebrated at Searsport Tuesday, in the
presence of great company Of relatives and
friends. Seven of their twelve children, all
who are living, were present. Two of the
daughters, Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. McGilvery,
are residents of this city. The only living son
is Stephen Thurston, formerly of the firm Of
Loring & Thurston of this city, now of Chi.
cago. Out of twelve grandchildren ten were
present The house was thronged with visitors
through the afternoon, and the presents were
many and valuable, including $1,000 in gold
The wedding supper in the evening was
attended by relatives only. Three original
poems were read, one by Mr.. Ira Berry of this
CITY, Appro pirate remarks were made by
several of the guests.
Mr.. Thurston is one Of the best known Con
gregational clergymen in the state. In 1926
he was ordained pastor of the Congregational
church in Prospect, new Searsport, and re-
maiDed the faithful pastor of this church til
S66, when he was elected Secretary of the
Maine Missionary Society. He retired from
this office last June on account of failing
health. Ia 1856 he received the degree o.
Doctor of Divinity from Colby University
Since 1860 he has been trustee of the Bangor
Theological Seminary, and is row president Of
the board Since 1866 he has been a trustee O.
the Maine Missionary Society.
1t is a remarkable fact that this is the second
golden wedding in the family. The fiftietf
anniversary of the wedding of David an6
Prudence (Browp) Thurston of Winthrop was
celebrated Oct. 81, 1867, at the residence O.
Mr.. Brown Thurston in this city
