| service given under the auspices Of the
local G. A. r. and Sons Of Veterans
at the Grand opera house. The service

address of welcome, which was in short,
as follows "I welcome you, COM
rades and friends, to honor those who
now lay in their place of honor. We
may well hold services to remember
them, for as with the rest, New Haven
soldiers covered themselves with glory"

rendering of the song, "Tenting To-
Night"
Rev ]. e. Twitchell led in the Lords
