one TO have been the most magnificent
and imposing he ever Witnessed, and
yet this lsst one is subject TO much and
severe criticism, 30 far as the citizens Of
Portland were concerned. SO FAR as all
New England could bo utilized IN honor
Of the occasion and the Voterans, moth
lag was left undone. The beautiful
city Of Portland is one paterTe OF flowers
