Historical Incidents.
Many historical and sentimental Incl
dents were recalled by the parade oE the
Marylanders. They carried four his
toric flags. which have been in fifty
pitched battles and ninety engagements
from first to last, from first Manassas to
Appomatox.
The William and Mary college stu
dents carried a standard that was the
aag of Virginia when she was a British
colony. 1t greatly resembles the last
adopted Confederate flag. The union Is
modelled after the British union jack,
and the field is white, except that at the
end are three red, white and blue bars.
On one side is Williamsburg, 1774. "
On the other Raleigh; Cave"
The students of Washington and Lee
university wore the university cap
(white and blue) and carried reed canes
with white and blue streamers. They
carried handsome banner. 1t bears
the combined coat of arms of the fam
lilies of Washington and Lee. 1t is
made of university colors, and ON it are
the following dates: 1896, in upper left

name was given the institution; 1870,

secrated by century Of universal reYerance
and the growth of a colossal empire, the re-
suit of his heroic labors, has been commem-
grated in this city by d monument in whose
majestic presence no man ever received the
suggestion of a thought that did not eXalt
humanity. The fame of the other, not yet a
generation old and won in a cause which was
lost, is already established by that impartial
Judgment of foreign nations which antici-
pates the verdict of the next age, upon an
equal pinnacle, and millions of our country
men, present here with US in our thoughts
and echoing back from city and plain and
mountain top the deep and reverent voice Of
this vast multitude, will this day confirm our
solemn declaration that the monument to
George Washington has found its only fitting
complement and companion in a monument
to Robert Z. Lee.
It is the recognition in Lee of the principal
elements of high ideal-cOurase, Will, energy,
insight. authority-the organizing mind with
its eagle glance and temperament for COM
mand, broad, based upon fortltude, hopeful
ness, Joy in battle. all exalted by heroic pur.
pose and kindled with t!le glow Of an unCOn-
querable soul; it is, besides and above all, the
unique combination in him Of moral strength
with moral beauty: of all that "a great in
heroic action with all that is good in common
life, that will make of this pile of stones a sa-
cred shrine dear throughout the coming ages
not to soldiers only, but to all helpers and
friends of mankind"
The orator then went into an elaborate bio
graphical review of the life and character OF
Gen. Lee. His marriage to the great-grand-
daughter of Washington's wife formed tie
which connected him by daily association OF
family and place with WashingtOn's fame
and character. and it may well be believed
that Lee made Washington his model of pub
lie duty.
Lees personal appearance and moral char
acteristics in his early manhood, and his ser
vices in Mexico, especially at the battle Of
Contreras were sketched lightly. History,
said the orator. will record, as Scott himself
nobly admitted, that Lee was Scott's right
arm in Mexico After leading up to the
period when it became necessary for Gen. Lee
to make his choice of which side he should
fight on In the coming conflict, Col. Anderson
said: No more painful struggle ever tore thi
heart of patriot. He had served the who'll
