Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-12-22
OF WASHINGTON Mon
UMENr AT WAKEFIELD APRIL 80.
AND CABINET TO ATTEND.
Many Members OF Congress and or
the Diplomatic Corps Will Also he
Reconsideration from Rich
mond and other Cities.

ApriI 10th. under the auspices OF the
Daughters OF the Revolution, and 1t Is
expected that the President and Cabinet,
as heretofore announced in the Dispatch.
will be present. Besides these, however,
il is probable that a large majority OF
the Senator'S and Representatives., many
members OF the diplomats corps, and
other distinguished residents of Washing
ton, will do honor to the occasion by
their presence. Excursions will be run
down the Potomac from this city, and
down the bay from Baltimore, and also
from Fredericksburg down the Kappa
hammock, and from Richmond and Nor
folk by way of the James river, Chesa-
peake bay, and the Potomac.
Congressman Jones, who successfully
engineered the appropriations through
Congress TO have the monument and the
Wakefield wharf built. is taking a great
interest in the matter, as are also the
Virginia Senators and the other virginia
Representatives. The people from tne
surrounding counties on the shores OF
the bay and the Potomac in Maryland
and Virginia will flock to Wakefield on
the day in question, and will there meet
the people of that beautiful, but secluded
portion of Virginia known as the North-
ern Neck. The Marine Band, of this city
will accompany the President and CaDl-
net. and as all the excursion steamers
will have bands on board, there VIII be
no lack of music.
From present indications, the dedlca-
ton will be quite a national, imposing
and impressive event. The orators nave
not yet been selected, but Senator Daniel
will, no doubt, be one OF thm.
