A suggestion made in the daily papers by
friend of the late ex-Mayor Mcclellan, that
his grave be decorated by the G. A. r., was
carried out at Evergreen by a detail of about
twenty members Of the Grand Army, each
one OF whom had some special reason to re-
member him as the soldiers friend.
In addition to the flag and G. A. r.
wreath, splendid floral anchor was placed
upon the grave as the comrades stood with
uncovered heads.
The following invocation was pronounced
by the comrade having charge of the SER
vice:
"In the name of the Grand Army of the
Republic, we place these emblems on the
grave of him who was our friend. and the
friend and helper of our helpless ones, and
we here pledge ourselves that once in each
year at this season we will visit his resting
place, and leave our memorials of him who
is not lost, but gone before"

from Biddeford and Saco helped to add
splendor to the occasion. And there were In
addition, representatives from all parts of
the State scattered through the long line
Portlanders have never seen so many differ

the parade interesting and novel as well as a
pretty spectacle. There were brightly nick

of the enameled machines. And among the
ordinary crank machines, were the Stars,
with the little wheel in front, the new Spring
field roadster, which works something like
the Stars, but has the little wheel modestly
following the big one, and then came the
strange little sapties, which held their own
successfully in competition with the big fell

bridges and through Knightville, en- route to
the Ocean House. where dinner was to be
served. The column was now broken and
in twos and threes the bicyclists wheeled
over the pleasant shore road, many of the
visitors enjoying for the first time ride
which cannot be excelled in the State. The
roads were hard and smooth, notwithstand-

straight from the ocean gave zest to the ex-
