Glad tribute here we bring glad voices raise, Loud let our anthem ring, tuned to their prise. Love will it's garlands give, wet with it's tears. S. shall their memories live on through the years- 50 snan the triumph grand, won by their might, Hold firmly Freedoms land to God ana right. R1orp0 Long let pure fragrance cling round where they Stil shall their voice heart though thunder roll, Freedom to us their word Soul answering soul. 1-Poem .....-.....-....-..... John W.

 AIR, "Auld Lang Syne."
 Shall forget those far-off days
 Which mad- us comrades all
 Shall we forget how swift the feet
 That duty's call?
 Shall we forget the hnnored dead
 That sleep beneath the sod,
 Who gave their lives for liberty,
 Our country and our God
 No, here we pledge fraternity
 With every human life
 That sang the songs of vict'ry won
 Or fell amid rhe strife
 And when at last answer here,
 AS death each name shall call,
 We'll leave these ranks with charity
 And loyalty to all.
 
 quartette consisting of Messrs. Parmele of Dwight Place church choir, P. w. Bush of Center church choir, and Messrs- Feist and Langdale. The Arion Singing society sung finely their various selections. MT. Plunkett presided with his usual ability. The oration by Judge Harrison was worthy the occasion and listened to with marked atten- tion throughout. There were many passages of eloquence and the address ahounded in lofty patriotic sentiments and allusions to points of special importance in the history of the government and the growth of civil liberty. fine tribute was paid to the mem- ory of the dead who fought that the nation might live, and the lesson was drawn that the true secret of vigorous national life was a lofty spirit of patriotism. Point me- said the speaker, nation alive with loyalty and pa triotism and I will sb ow you 8 strong and vigorous national life. A united Germany is the growth of this spirit of union and patriot ism, and patriotic Irishmen yearn for the day when Ireland shall be free and independent. Judge Harrison was warmly applauded. The poem by Mir. Storrs was well received, and was worthy tribute to the occasion. The affair was 8 fine success.
