GLEN Echo. Nd, July 6, 1901.
The Fourth has come and gone with its noise
and crowds Of Grand Army men and families
and Glen Echo has subsidized to its usual quiet
serenity. Every one united in de-
claring the whole day to be very
pleasant The amphitheater was pretty well
filled and the afternoon exercises had
none OF the dryness that sometimes charac-
terize such meetings. The speeches were by
Hon. Edwin willetts Blyndon Lloyd and A. d.
Matthews and drew forth great enthusiasm
from the old patriots. Between the speeches
there was patriotic music by the band and
solos on the organ by Prof. Baker; then
following the exercises there was a concert
by all the local talent. Mr.. G. b. Hanford re-
cited the Star Spangled Banner" which liter
ally brought down the house, and although the
rule OF no encores was strictly observed in
every other selection the audience couldn't be
stilled until he recited again, this time giving
them the Grafton of Mark Anthony over Cesar
body.
The salute of forty-four guns at noon was
fired by a battery detailed by the Secretary of
War for that purpose and as the sound rolled
and reverberated through the Virginia hills
the appropriateness Of the name "Glen Echo"
was fully demonstrated The soldiers in their
bright uniforms and clanking sabers only
added to the bright picture.
