The singing by the quartet was ex-
ceedingly fine and was highly appre-
ciated by the audience.
The address by Rev. Mr.. Ellery was
eloquent, patriotic and most essential.
" American, and was received by the
audience with many demonstrations
of approval. Mr.. Ellery always speaks
well-knowing just what to say and
just how to say it.
Of the remarks by Rev. Routliffe of
Hancock We can truly say that rarely
ever have we listened to q more sehol=
arly, eloquent and patriotic address
ON similar occasion. It commanded
marked attention from the audience,
and we hear ON all sides, and from
people Of all denominations and par
ties, nothing but words of praise.
II. L. Bevans was at his best. His
remarks had the genuine ring of the
soldier orator, as he is. Some portions
of his speech were truly eloquent and
full Of patriotic farFar, especially
where he eulogized the character o.
his comrade, Phil. Hamlin, "who wa:
sent up to his God by bullet crash
ing through his brain at the battle O
Gettysburg"
