GEN. GORDON
was the drawing card yesterday and
filed the auditorium with an apprecia-
tive audience. He was introduced at
much length by Congressman Picker
and though he spoke for just two hours
the audience did not weary. The gen.
eral in opening expressed his love for
his northern brethren and loyalty to our
common country and was eloquent IN
praise OF the heroism OF both Federal
and Confederate soldiers. From Vicks-
burg and Gettysburg on the one hand to
Greensboro and Appomatox on the other,
he followed the course of the war and
especially the ~contending armies of
Grant and Lee in the manuevers and
battles Of which he took 81 prominent a
part. His incidents OF the same, re-
hearsal OF deeds Of valor, patriotism,
camp life, companionship on the battle
field, strategic movements and magnani-
nifty OF enemies were told in manner SO
eloquent of truth and realistic picture,
that he held his audience in wrapt SYM
pathy and admiration throughout the
entire lecture. 1t was a great effort
heartily and continually responded to by
an a~ppreciative audience. Nothing,
save Bishop Fowler's lecture on Abra-
ham Lincoln has equalled it on the plat
form here.
THE AMP FIRE
as indicated in yesterdays report in an
swer to the query "Where were you
| when Lee surrendered?" was more than
ordinarily interesting. Major Picker
presided, Ada Heist, the band, the Ar
tiste company and other workers on the
ground contributed 70 the success and
enjoyment of the occasion.
