About 100 OF the members of the two

had chartered the steamer Manchester

Gunston landing shortly before 8. Some
rode and some walked across the two
miles of road to the mansion house, where

Justice Harlan delivered the principal
address. He has always bad a patriotic
appreciation for this man, who has been
somewhat neglected in focusing the light
of history. Mason was in reality one of
the very greatest men of his time. His
influence on all the colonial and revolu-
tionary leaders of his time was marked.
lie was the senior of most Of the promi
nent men, as well as the superior OF many
who are more renowned. He had the judg-
mcnt 10 criticize the Constitution, the
courage to dissent from the ma jority but
the greatness to submit to the will and
Judgment OF the majority.
Justice Harlan read the Virginia bill of
rights which Mason wrote and compared
it with the Declaration OF Independence,
with Interesting comments, tending to
establish strong influence over jefferson
on the part of the sage of Gunston. 1t was
the speakers opinion that a statue Of.
Mason should adorn the National Capital.
The address was much admired and at
its close a vote OF thanks was unanimously
given Justice Harlan, and for the cour-
tesies OF the Mason estate to Mr.. Joseph
Specht, who is at present the owner and
occupant of Gunston Hall.
Gen. Greeley, with a few words of
preface, placed the bronze marker at the
head OF Mason's grave, and after a prayef
from DR.. Childs, the party returned TO the
wharf.
A stop was made a Marshall Hall and the
pilgrims enjoyed a splendid dinner. This
was not the least enjoyable pastime of the
evening, for when the plates had been
pushed aside several relictous and pa
triotic speeches were made. The party
returned on the Manchester at IL o'clock.
Yesterdays trip was the first patriotic
pilgrimage ever made by the Washington
societies, but so successful was it socially
and so stimuiative OF patriotic sentiment
that the numerous other points or historic
interest will be visited.
