All the available space at the Library
was occupied at an early hour last night by
persons anxious TO witness the long looked
for Inauguration. when the Lane Library
was announced to be free circulating
library, accessible to all persons above the
age of ten years. The short but appro-
pirate ceremonies commenced with
prayer by the Rev. J. X. Gaff. followed
by music. Superintendent Brown then
delivered an Introductory address. in which
he spoke of the edevelopmentof of intelligence
and the benefits derived therefrom, of the
Indebtedness which we are under to our
ancestors for the noble library we have,
composed of works from the most learned
and accomplished authors. VIM. Huber,
Jr., then read poem entitled "Let there be
light" one oflthe many original productions
OF this yonng poet. Its hearty reception
by the audience is sufficient praise. After
listening to music, J. L. Martin, ESQ.,, de-
livered a historical sketch, in which he
said. 'The Lane Free Library owes its ex,
istence to the munificence of Mr.. Clark
Lane whose name it bears. The building was
erected on ground of his own at MIR. Lanes

addition to this, for more than year he
bore the expenses of operating it, and of
keeping it supplied with the leading Amer
lean and English scientific, literary and
news periodicals." The building was be-
gun in April 1866 and formally opened to
the public Oct. Goth of the same year. On
the oath of February, 1868, deed of con-
veyance of all the library property, includ-
ing books and fixtures, to the City Council
for the nse of the public. was executed.
The total number of volumes in the
library at present is 9,249 1T is to be

interest in the Lane Free Library, now that
it isa circulating library. and that, through
their generosity, the number of volumes
will, before long have been doubled"
