CHICAGO, July 2.-Today's attend
ance at the exposition was very light,
and the grounds, except OH the lake
front east of the manufactures build
ing and in the Grand, plaza, were
sparsely populated. The day was sui
try, and about noon heavy clouds gath
cred i'll the west. threatening rain dur
ing the afternoon. This. no doubt, kept
many visitors away. There were the
usual concerts during the afternoon
and evening, but the audiences were
light and not inclined to enthuse over
the carefully-arranged and well-exe-
cuted programmes. As on previous
Sundays, the crowds were to be found
mainly i'll the Krupp pavilion, the Con-
vent OF La Rabida and the Midway
PlaiSance. The patriotic Sunday serv-
ices in Festival hall, conducted under
the auspices OF Fort Dearborn Garrison
No. 81, Regular Army and Navy union,
were poorly attended, not over 1000
people being present when Assembly"
was given at 3 o'clock by the army
buglers. The stage was decorated
With American Rags,
and TWO of the silken emblems covered
the pine table which served as speak
er's desk. From the choral balcony
hung an immense union Jack. which.
during the singing Of Nearer, My God,
to Thee" was slowly drawn aside, dis
closing draped plaque upon which
was inscribed, In Memoriam IL. NJ. S
Victoria The stage was occupied by
those participating in the exercises and
their lady friends, twenty. five Indian
boys and girls from the Lincoln Institu-
ton of Philadelphia, and a few in
vited guests. w. L. Tomlins directed
the music, which was unaccumpanied
by any instrument, and Col. E.
L. Sherley was chairman. Chaplain e.
W. Shipman. of the United States army,
invoked q divine blessing upon the as
Semblage, after which Col. Sherley in
troduced Capt. J. w. Campbell. of The
Fort Dearborn garrison. Capt. Camp
bell said Sunday service of this nature
bad been introduced by the garrison
one year ago. He thought the occasion
oppOrtune for all soldiers and sailors to
renew their fidelity to the flag by par
tlcipating III the exercises amid snch
magnificent surroundings on this 'pa-
trlotic Sunday" Immediately preceding
Our National Holiday,
July T. Nearer, Ny God, to Thee"
was then sung, the audience standing
and joining i'll the music. AS the hymn
was concluded the buglers sounded
taps" after which Col. Sherley an
nounced that the sermon of the day
would not be given. as Rev. j. p. Dorr,
chaplain of the Illinois national guard,
had not put in an appearance or sent
any word that he could not appear. He
then introduced Chaplain c. G. Bate
man, of the United States army. who
made good talk Oh the soldier as
factor in civilization. Chaplain Bate
man said the brotherhood of God was
gradually drawing nearer and the ties
binding the soldiers of one land to those
of another were getting more of COM
mon kinship.
'Ihere are more lands than one,"
said the bronZed champion, "but there
was no better warrior in the land than
the American soldier. Likewise each
nation has its sailors, but where can we
ind better material to climb the Jacobs
ladder than the American Jack-tar and
our by-gone heroes? Who has a greater
or better roster of i1oblemen than
fought for
Their Countryss Honor2
WHO is there i'll all America that will
ever forget the name of ULYSSES 5.
Grant?" III closing Mr.. Bateman said:
Here are these Indians from their
training school. They are Americans
III the truest sense of the word. We
fought their ancestors, and now they
are here to teach us that all is forgotten
and forgiven and that we are the peo-
pie. Truly the brotherhood of soldiers
and OF men grows daily, and we have
demonstrated to Us the fact that sol
dierS are q great factor in ciyiliZation'
The Indians then sang hymn. their
effort being rewarded by liberal APP
plause. After few remarks by DR..
]. Aiken, Prof. Duval'S veteran cavalry
associate, and the singing of The Star
Spangled Banner" by the chorus and
audience, the benediction was pro-
nounced by the colored chaplain, Allen
Allensworth, of the United States army.
The participants then marched over TO
Transportation building, where two
wreathS were placed upon the draped
model OF the ill-fated Victoria.
