A good oid.fashioned noisy anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence began in
Glen Echo at midnight sharp, first with the
ringing OF the three big bells at the gate.
Then followed firing of crackers, pistols,
guns, and the din of many mclodious voices
trying to keep up with a bugle call, and the
bum! bum! bum! of the big bass drum. All
the old boys as we'll as young Americans on
the grounds contributed their quota to this
midnight iollifcation. The jolly fellows pa
raded up and down the walks and serenaded
everybody promscuously The rallying crv
was ''Siss, boom, Glen Echo, Glen Echo
Chautauqua!" and the echoes took up and re-
peated the salutation until the merry fellows
reached the Red Cross Building, when they
changed the cry to 'Whats the matter with
Clara Barton ?n ''She's all right!n was shouted
back. "Rah, rah, rah!'
Quiet settled over camp a little before day
light. The crowds of visitors were delighted.
The Grand Army of the Republic were the
guests of the Chautauqua board, having been
invited some months ago. Right heartily did
they respond to the invitation, and between
three and four thousand people visited Glen
Echo yesterday. At 11:30 the detailed battery
from the War Department appeared, with
guns and caissons drawn by four horses each,
and the men well mounted and equipped in
holiday attire. They halted on the north
fired salute of 100 guns. The entrance to
the grounds was draped with garrison flags,
and the Ampitheatre made an equally gay ap-
pearance. The interior was appropriately
draped. The best audience of the season col
lected there by p. m, when the opening
ceremonies began.
Chaplain York made the opening prayer,
which was followed by Rogers Band playing
the Hunting Chorus" Chancellor Gillet
then called for the Chautauqua salute "to the
flag and to our country" 1t was given with
will. DR.. Gillet introduced Commander
Pipes, whose address was very appropriate
and well received. Colonel Willis, Assistant
Commissioner of Agriculture, made an appro-
ton of Independence. The audience sang
"America" to the accompaniment of the
great organ and Rogers Band, led by Pro-
fessor Boxer. Immediately after Clinton
Lloyd made an enthusiastic old-time spread
eagle Grafton,
At o'clock there was grand concert by
all the musical force on the ground. Mr.. C.
b. Hanford also gave recitation of ''The
Star Spangled Banner" which was most
effective
In the evening Assistant Secretary Willis
made an address on the governmental care of
flowers, and DR.. Elliott talked to good pur-
pose on 1.-The National Flower" After all
was over in the Amphitheatre two campfires
b'azed, one in the open field, round which the
veterans and sons gathered; and the other
under the canvas at Hotel Potomac. Speeches
numerous and apt were made at each place.
The Potomac Woman's Relief Corps were
represented at Glen Echo yesterday by the
president, Mrs. Prentiss, and the vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Wisler, and $50 officers and mem
bers
