Andre, O'Donovan's statue of Paulding on the remodelled monument was unveiled. It represents yeoman of the period in rustic dress, with musket in hand, the body in a listening attitude as if Andres approach had attracted his attention. MT. Bauer's bGs=Teaef on the front of the monument is copied after Mir. Durand's celebrated painting of the cap ture At II o'clock the procession formed on the grounds of MT. Lewis Roberts, a short distance from the town, where it presented brilliant spectacle on the greensward, with the bells ringing in the background, and the towns in sight across the broad expanse of the Hudson. It was marshalled by General James Husted, and led by Battery c, Unitsd States Regulars, under command of Major St.
 Clair. The Minnesota's crew of four hundred
 boys with their gunners and troop or trum- peters followed and after them came the Colt Guards of Poughkeepsie, whose scarlet uniforms and jaunty appearance attracted general attention. Gilmore's band escorted the Twenty-second New York, and this was followed by the Sixteenth Peekskin battalion and the Seventy-frst New York regiment. There were also in the ranks many local com panies and municipal societies, military schools, &c., each attended by it's band of music The fire departments of seventeen neighboring towns, with their engines and trucks gaily decorated, made fine display. The houses along the route were profuseiy ornamented with flags, notices and pictures
 of the three heroes. Although the crowd
 was immense there was little disorder. ,fhe New York police inspired general respect, and owing to the proclamation of MT. Bayles,
 the village president, prohibiting the sale of liquor, there was no drunkenness At the monument the procession was reviewed by many distinguished guests. Among those
 present were John Jay, W. B. Dodge, Cyrus
 W. Field, Judge Noah Davis, Clarkson N.
 Potter, Judge Dykeman. F. F. Havemeyer,
 J. Hilton Scribner, Waldo Hutchins and Ham, ilton Fish, jr. The procession was half an
 hour in passing. The visiting companies
 were vociferously cheered at every street cor
 ner It is estimated that fully 50, GOO people
 witnessed the parade, Gnd there was great en-
 thusiasm.
 The procession marched to the park,
 where speaking took place. The formal cer-
 emonies were opened by President Bradley, of the Monument association, who announced that Hon. S. J. Tilden had been designated to
 preside. MT. Tilden stepped forward and delivered a few brief remarks. Prayer was offered by Alexander VanWert, the son of one of Andres captors. Mir. Tilden then in- troduced the orator of the day, Hon. MT. Depews. His address was an eloquent re- view of the events leading up to and follow ing the discovery of Arnold's treason. The audience dispersed at the close of the ora tion. At p. m. 8 third salute was fired l from the hilltop, and the festivities wound l up with grand display of fireworks, grand pieces representing revolutionary scenes.
