Ceremoniss on Washington's Birthday
Commemofattvs OF Thorn.
The Seattle Chautauqua Union may well
feel pleased with the result of its gather
ing on Washington's birthday. Chancel-
lor Stratton remarked that it was tho
largest and most enthusiastic body of
Chautauqua readers he had ever addressed.
The waving Of the handkerchiefs in honor
of Bishop John H. Vincent was an impos-
ing sight, as all in the audience rose to
their feet at the call of the president to do
respect to the toast proposed by the
speaker. The following telegram was sent
on Thursday, the 61st birthday Of Bishop
Vincent:
Our Chsutauqus union sends love. congratu.
lattons and best wishea
