guests in carriages. There were nearly
three hundred of these carriages in all.
The head Of the column moved a little
after 1890 o'clock, passing under an
evergreen arch which stood
at the head of North street. Across
the face of the arch in
white immortelles was the inscription:
"Olollie Stark was not widowed" and
the dates "1791' and 9TH" An
enormous crowd filled the street from
curb to curb and the advance cleared
the way sowly The houses on both
sides of the street had been decorated
profusely with flags and bunting and
stands had been erected on all the
graceful green lawns, from which the
good people of Bennington and their
friends waved n welcome to the Chief
Magistrate and his escort. The Presi-
dent was created with prolonged cheer
ing along the line and he was kept busy
continually bowling to right and left.
He rode with his hat in his hand along
almost the entire route although the
sun shone bright and the day was quite

Gov. Page then spoke briefly in &C
ceptance as follows:
Coz. Prescott: In behalf OF Vermont

Bennington Battle Monument associa-
ton, this title deed and responsibilities
which its acceptance involves.
You convey to us the title to the prop
erty, but assure you, Mr.. President, that
Vermont's interest in this monument
shall ever be something more than a
mere property interest so long as the

Bennington to-day. One part is to be in
the nature of dedication of this monu-
ment; the other, celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the admission
of Vermont into the Federal Union of
States. Each, would naturally assume
somewhat of a National character. To-
gether they make an occasion of unusual
National importance.
We stand at the point where Stark had
brought volunteers from New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts and Vermont in
August 1777, to defend the military
stores here collected and to operate in
his discretion upon the flank of the hos
tile army which, in it's southwark move
ment through the Champlain Valley, in
vaded the western borders of the terri
tory of Vermont

monies celebr9ted the anniversary of
that battle.
A movemF had been inaugurated to
erect monument on this spot, to COM
memorate the battle, and the Battle
Monument Association YHi6k had been
organized for that purpose, was en-
trusted with the prosecution of the
work.
A design was adopted. The United
States. the states of Vermont, Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire, with
liberal and patriotic citizens of the
states contributed sufficient means to
accomplish the undertaking.
In August 1887, there was another
interesting and imposing gathering on
this spot, when the cornerstone of this
magnificent structure was laid.
On that day the same cornerstone
when laid was committed by His Ex-
cellency the Governor of Vermont,
through me, to the Bennington Battle
Monument Association. receiving the
assurance that a shaft should be erected
thereon, beautiful and artistic in de-
sign, massive in structure, which shall
in the coming ages mark one of the
most important localities in our land.n

GOV. PAGES WELCOME.
Gov. Page then arose and on behalf of
the State of Vermont delivered an adj
dress of welcome. He said:
One hundred and fourteen years ago a
band of Green Mountain boys, repre-
senting what was then known as the
New Hampshire Grams, met in West

sembled:
ReSolred, That Vermont "of right
ought to be, and is hereby declared for

Fourteen years ago the sons and

with patriotic citizens from sister states.

AN OVATION TO PRESIDENT
HARRISON !
Emphatic Greetings for Other Dis
tiDgQiShGd Guests,

The ceremony of defeating the monu-
ment erected to commemorate the Battle
of Bennington crowded this compare
lively little town to overflow the 10Th.
The presence of the President of the
United States and members of his Cab
met as well as the Governors of three of
the states gave the event a more than
local interest. 1t brought people from
all parts of the United States but partic-
ularly from the New England states to
witness and take part in the ceremony.
Probably in the whole history of Ben
ningtun no such distinguished gathering
will be held here again.
At the encampment grounds around
the Soldiers Home where the interest of
the event centered during the early part
of the day, the soldier boys were reused
by the reveille call before 6 o'clock. The

buildings were covered with national
emblems. At the junction of North and
Main streets, was the browning decora-
ton of the occasion. A huge arch in
imitation of masonry had been thrown
across Main street, Across the top of
this arch stood line of little girls whose
sweet childish voices broke out into the
''Star Spangled Banner as the head of
the procession came in sight. Above
them over the keystone of the arch stood
the figure of the Goodness of Liberty.
Below them were ranged thirteen of
Bennington's prettiest girls holding the
shields of the thirteen original states.
AS the President passed under the
arch, shower of roses fell from the
hands of the young girls, sprinkled his
carriage and fell all about it. At the
same time the chorus of childish voices
struck up America"
The reviewing stand on West Main
street about q quarter of a mile beyond
the arch was soon reached. 1t was de-
signed for only forty people and only the
members of the Presidents party were
invited to enter it. When the head of
the column had passed just beyond the
stand, it halted and the Presidents car
riage was driven to the side of the road
The President left his seat, and on Gov.
Pages arm, entered the stand where he
bowed a response to the continued cheer
ing of the great crowd that swarmed
about it. The other members of the re-
viewing party took places in the stand
and the order was given to resume the
march, The President stood with head
uncovered for half hour while the pro-
cession was passing in review. When
the Odd Fellows had passed and the
head of the column of carriages came In
sight, the President left the stand and
resumed his seat in his carriage. The
head of the column had reached the
monument by this time and the militia
forces were massed on the west of the
stand which had been erected in front of
it. The second and third divisions were
massed as they came up on the east and
the carriages then drove up in front of
the stand and the guests we're escorted to
their seats.
Seats for a thousand had been pro
vided on the stand which was rooted in
with canvas. The seats were arranged
in three tiers and the orator of the day,
the President and the other speakers
who were to address the multitude were
seated on the second tier near the centre
of the stand. It took some time to IA
range all of the guests and it was after
the noon hour when Hon. WheelOck G..
Veazey, the president of the day, arose
and spoke briefly as follows:
GEN. VEAZEY's REMARKS.
There is to be dual observance in
