the Glories Of the Day to a Large number

Although suddenly gotten up, and
in such time as would not allow any
one participating an opportunity foi
preparation, the celebration OF yester-
day can be pronounced In every re-
spect success. 1t Was determined
ata late hour to hold the meeting at
the Rink instead Of At the court house
as II was expected, and as the result
proved rightly 80, that the room at
the court house would be too small to
accommodate the numbers. This action
was brought about by the kindness of
Mr.. F. E. Tully, who volunteered the
use of the building for the occasion.
At 2:3O o'clock the full military band
from Fort Keogh arrived, as did also
q number of officers and soldiers from
the fort who came TO witness the exer.
cises. A number of patriotic airs were
performed In the street after which
they repaired TO the Rink. A man
was stationed at the court house en-
trance TO direct the callers Of the exer-
cises at the Rink, and soon az the lat
ter place, the crowd commenced 10
gather, until when all Were seated
there were probably three hundred
persons in the hall.
Soon the speakers arrived, and the
meeting opened with prayer by Rev.
Philip Lowry. Geo. r. Milburn, ESQ.,,
acted az chairman and addressed the
gathering apropos 10 the occasion, de-
livering o neat and effective speech.
He then intr! duoed Rev. VIM. NJ.
Weeks, who spoke with feeling upon
greatness Of the day and the monu-
