His address was simply fine, embracing all the merito- rious points that such should be marked by, and, furthermore. it brought forth many thoughts relative to the subject that had been listened to for so many years. His style of delivery and all were in keeping with the true orator, and his address was pronounced to be as fine as any ever delivered on any like occasion. It brought forth frequent applause from the old veterans and others -Jilt

district to his successor, Commander n.
Mayo Dyer. Commander Wingate will
remain in Portland for few days, and
then will 90 to his home at Maiden,
Mass, to await orders. AS he will retire
within three years he will not probably
be ordered on any very arduous service.
1t is usual for the new inspector to
come to the district month before he
assumes the duties Of the office, and make
tour of the coast with the retiring
officer; but Commander Dyer was unable
to do SO in this case.
The new inspector comes directly from
service az the Boston Navy yard. He has
served one term as light house inspector,
1887, on the Buffalo. IN. ~ district.
Although regular officer of the navy,
and standing high on the list of COM
manders, being eleventh, Commander
Dyer is not graduate of Annapolis. He
entered the navy from the merchant SER
vice in 1861 as masters mate, and had
a most gallant and distinguished career.
In 1863, for gallant ana meritorious SER
vice in the Western Gulf squadron he
was promoted to ensign and appointed to
command the Glasgow an old, blockade
runner which was turned into a block
ader and despatch boat. January ~, 1864,
he was promoted to acting master for
gallant service. In July of that year he
gave up a leave of absence to participate
in the capture of Mobile and was as
signed to the Metacomet, which, as con-
sort of the Hartford, took part in the
passage OF the forts and surrender of the
rebel feet. He received the surrender of
the Salem in person. In October, 1864.
he was ordered to the Hartford, Farra-
quits flagship; and upon the return Of
that vessel north he YVES appointed to
command of the Rodolph, which was
sunk by torpedo in Blakeley river,
April !, 1865.
April 20, 1865, he was appointed acting
volunteer lieutenant, and after the sur
render of the rebel feet in the Tombigbee
he commanded two of the surrendered
vessels, and later the Elk and Stockdale.
:. From 1866 to 1868 he was on special
duty with the bureau of navigation.
He was commissioned as lieutenant in
the regular navy in 1868. On the Ossipee,
in 1870, near Lower California, he was
publicly thanked by the Commodore for
heroism in jumping into the sea and
rescuing sailor who had fallen over
board.

men speedily armed with pitohforks and
chased the little fellow to the edge of
the pier where he fell overheard into the

In falling he cut his head quite badly,
and was rescued by some of the by
