THE RECEPTION.

In the evening grand reception and Camp
fire was held at the Academy. The exercises
were opened with prayer by Chaplain-in-Chief
Foster, of the Grand Army, and then Mayor
Low delivered an eloquent address of welcome.
He said
The story of your warliSe deeds is written in his
tory. All men know the splendor of your record,
how, through reverse and disaster. you persevered
to success complete and enduring. Gettysburg
will remain forever of the pivotal battles of
history. The superb success of Appomattox, not
more notable for its victory than for the magnan-
imous terms granted by your great commander,
tremendous applause cemented for all time the
bonds of strength and of sympathy which hold
together the American Union. Each revolving
year shows your achievements not less notable but
greater. The fuitage of the prosperous years since
the war, of Union and of universal freedom comes
from seeds sown upon the battlefield.
General Newton made happy response, aud
then the Hon. John Savage, author of the
Rising of the North" read the annual poem
