HalI-Addresses by Past Commander
e. C. SWEET and Rev. Mr.. Malvern
Other Exercises Elsewhere.
Memorial Day, 1898, opened most dis
agreeably yesterday. The mercury was
fairly high and the atmosphere damp.
The result was "a mugginess that was
extremely facilitating, There were in
dications that heavy showers might be ex
pected that would interfere with the pa
rade, but, fortunately these indications
did not materialize. just before one
O'clock the sun came out. the clouds
cleared, and Portland never looked more
attractive. 1t had been feared that the
departure of the Portland battalion to the
war would detract greatly from the inn
portance of the procession. The presence
of the Connecticut volunteers on duty at
Portland Head, quickly dispelled that
ApSos 4Sp1ply aiesoN@ SSN~~ -
better military parade in years on Me-
mortal Day, if ever. That battalion of
Connecticut boys was dandy. They
were fine looking fellows, their uniforms
fitted them well, and they marched with
precision, a swing and dash that
brought forth round after round of ap.
plause. Then the High School Cadets,
the Canton Ridgely and the Uniform
Rank knights of Pythias with their
varied uniforms, added color and variety
to the pageant.
All through the day the streets were
crowded with people until it was time
to take the cars for Evergreen and fol
Forest City Cemetery. Many of the stores
draped their windows with flags and
threw ont the national banner, an(
such also was the case in the residenta
parts of the city. But Portland doesn'
DO things like any other city. Flag
were few and far between while Bos
ton and other Massachusetts, elite
are gay with bunting. Portland, how
ever, is patriotic if she doesn't put on
her flags. The J. f. Libby Co. arrange
their western window with flags in al
manner of designs, The Goddess @
Liberty waved flag and beside her
little child, evidently intended for Cub
libre, held out banner. At Owen
Moore & Co.'s in one window appro
priately inscribed $751;" was splen
did group of large framed portraits o
President Lincoln, Generals Grant ant
Sherman and fine Fpicture of the battl
between the Monitor and the Merrimac
In the other window was similar groul
including President Mckinley, Genera
Miles, Rear Admiral Dewey and til
battleship Maine, supporting the legen'
1888" The pictures were all excellen
likenesses, and, draped as they were wit
the national colors, formed an interestin
study Of the past and present.
