delegation for whom speak came to you
with message of good will and God

we have been requested by him to present

The silk flag having been turned over
to the company with the usual ceremon-
les, the band played patriotic selection
and then Mayor Cloudman, in brief
speech accepted the flag in behalf of the
company. Mayor Cloudman expressed
the thanks of the company and of the city
of Westbrook, who take pride in the or
oanization, to Gov. Cleaves for the honor
he had conferred upon the company and
the city in presenting the company with
a flag and he said the Cleaves Rifles
would ever guard this flag so that the
donor would never have occasion to regret
the gift.
The bugler then sounded tscolors'' and
the ceremony was over.
Capt Starr with a picked squad Of
men from his company gave shd& ex-
h ibition drill at the close of the cere-
mony which, considering the short time
the company has been organized, was a
very creditable one.
The Cleaves Rifles, numbering some
sixty-fve men, are composed of many of
the best young men in Westbrook and
will undoubtedly reflect great credit on
the city of Westbrook and the name they
bear.
