great crowd of people. Not since last

people in Sandyvale at one time.
The offerings to the unknown dead by
the Sons of Veterans were wreath OF
snow balls. interspel sed with peonies and
large Maltese cross of snow balls with a
large peony in the centre. Both were
very'bcautiful. The ceremonies at the SOL
diers' circle were the same as usually held
there. They were interspersed with songs
by the choir in charge of Rev. Chas. L. E'
Cartwright. The songs were Dropping

Flowers were strewn about the circle and
the usual three volleys fired.

tion,n after which there was a prayer by
Rev. James A. Lane. "Let Them Rest "
was sung, and the Rev. II. L. Chapman
introduced the orator, ex-Representatlve
Drummer. of Pottsville.
The oration was listened to with much
attention. The first part referred to the
great disaster of year ago. Many OF the
auditors were vislbly affected by that
part of the address. The speaker devoted
much of the remainder of his remarks to
praisiug the soldiers for their noble
achievement, while the concluding part
was occupied in deprecating the " re-
bellious spirit, as he called it, in the
South exhibited by the people of that
section in the respect they show TO the
memory of their late leaders.
Signs of rain caused the crowd to be-
gin to disperse before the Grafton was
concluded. Several OF the organizations,
which owing to the large crowd, were not
able to get within hearing distance,
marched off shortly after the speaker be-
gan. As the threatening clouds grew
blacker more people left. Several dis
tinct peas of thunder caused the speaker
to cut short his remarks, whereupon the
crowd dispersed after the benedlction had
been nrononnced.
