Yesterday afternoon the Garlbaldt so
ciety of this city unveiled bust of Carl
bald and held impressive exercises in his
honor.
The bust is a beautiful work of art in
bronze and was made by Mr.. u. Fiasca-
RIM.
The society's hall on Date street near
Macy was beautifully decorated and was
adorned with American and Italian flags.
The Garibaldi guards appeared in their
brilliant uniforms and the Legion Fran
caise lent it's influence and presence to
grace the occasion. The hall was soon
filled with visitors. After brief drill by
the military companies, the bust was I'm.
yelled by President M, Magotti of the
Garibaldi society, the military companies
gave the salute and the audience gave a
hearty cheer.
Capt. Fl. Bilanlc u the Legion Fran
caise delivered an address in Fcench. He
mad fought under Garibadi III Italy, and
MS ioi'g experience under that great patriot
ana commander enabled him to pay a
beautiful tri,ute of praise to Gari5aidi's
memory. Captain bilal.de flashed ais
adddess by reading O touching French
poem "To Garibaldi.'' written by Michel
fe.dre OF Los Angeles.
Miss tec'lie rormano, the cautiniere of
the Gariba'di Guards, made neat address
III ltaii7n and presented the society with
an Amer can flag made of the finest silk.
Signor A. Mobile, the editor of La Nespa.
gave an address in italian. He euloEized
Garibaldi and claimed that his influence
had not only unfit ed Italy, but had been
one OF the most potent factors in securing
me modern constitutions of the sta es of
Europe. He believed that Garibaldi was
one OF the greatest heroes that ever lived,
and that loyalty to his teachings and his
memory was the surest test of the adj
vancement among the Italian people. Ed
ward l.. Hutchinson delivered an address in
English. He said in part:
Washington and Garibaldi stand alone as
the two purest patriots and greatest men
OF all the successful generals of modern
times. Garibaldi's work was as cosn0po!-
ltan as his heart and genius were great.
Born at Nice in 1907, he followed the sea
VII 1884, when he sided with the patriots
OF Genoa in their unsuccessful uprising.
he then fed to South America, where he
fought with the revolutionis.s OF E. Rio in
the war against Brazil. He joined the
forces of Uruguay in the war against Argen-
tine, and was so successful that he was
made commander.n-chief of the army and
hacy of Uruguay.
He married beautiful Spanish girl in
Brazil, and lived in South America till the
troubles of Italy in 1913 caused him to
join the patriots at home. He won many
victories for the Piedmantese, Neapolitans
and Sardiniaus, but the forces of France.
Austria and Rome were too strong for his
band or patriots, and he was compelled to
lee to America. His brave wife died on
the coast of Italy while they were making
their escape. Garibaldi then came to New
York, made money as a tallow GAMBLER,
and returned to Italy, where he bought
half of the island of Caprera. In the
troublesome times of 1S59-60- 65-70 and
70 he was always at the head of the patr-
| OTIS, who were striving for the uhific alton of
/ Italy until the cause was gloriousl won
In 1S7O.71 he fought in the armies of
| the French against Germany, and was
cleo ted to the French chamber of deputies.
Like Washington and Cincnnssus, he re-
signed every trust when his work was well
done. In tie closing years of his life he
was universally honored. He died al Ca
prera in 1882.
No man of this century has done half so
much for the cause of freedom, nor has the
hero of the widest romance ever had such
a varied and romantic career in so many
quarters of the world.'
After the close of the literary exercises
dancing was INDUCED in till late in the
afternoon. The music was furnished by
Mussa's band.
