The mu-ic by the orchestra was very good;
they kept up their reputation easily by their
performance. The remarks by Messrs. Nc
Rride and Buell. were indicative of their
thorough interest in the work and they as
sured Lexington of the good wishes OF their
rcs,r"tiye towns. The addresses by DIR.
Gordon and Capt. Conner were very inter-
e,t,py indeed. DIR. Gordon spoke of the noble
work done by associations Ia this country and
the f,Ilo wship bet wGen members of different
churches, which had been generated by as
| sociatinns. Capt. Corners remarks were fill
of humor and yet he uttered a warning to
vnunr men against the vices of the day. Mr..
| Jacobs, the sfate secretary, spoke oil the late
| international convention in Philadelphia and
OF the good thing done there and encouraged
the members TO do Ii more advanced work
and not to yield to encouragement or de-
spondcncy. 1t was indeed an interesting
programme and kept the attention OF the au-
Gicnce throughout.
