The rest Of the evening was devoted
TO social intercourse, and songs OF
Comrades and Hoare Brothers. Short
speeches hy the clergymen which, by
the way, was carried out by ReVs
Chase and Kent.
This brief outline conveys but little
idea of the great pleasure and profit
of the evening, but we must leave
something for the imagination. The
Rally " Around the Flag" was Il bit of
realism which will not be the privilege
of the present generation to witness.
The sons and the daughters of the
veterans will sing the old song and
will rally around the old flag, but
there will be no veterans of the great
war to carry that flag and make it II
rallying point of song and devotion.
How they will miss the old veterans
like Mr., Gardener, who was the stand.
ard bearer on this occasion. Proudly
some of them will tell how, rs children,
they witnessed this bit Of realism.
The supper was one of which the
corps had reason to be proud; and the

theory OF party organization is that the
best men should be chosen for election to
