which had assembled at the depot. He
is the
HAPPIEST OF MEN,
and as he walked through the streets
of the city just at dusk. in company
with his brothers, Edward and Will
liam, he bowed right and left and
waved his hands to his old friends as
he recognized them. The whole city on
this occasion, which really means the
whole state, has anxiously awaited the
coming of the guest, and as ne is mere,
the success of tomorrows celebration
is assured, should weather be favor
able. Rain has been falling tonight.
and has dampened the ardor OF the
people to great extent. Admiral

brother over night, as he has elected
to remain in his

between lines of school children, each
with a flag in hand. drawn up on the
steep bank beside the railroad, so that
they were about even with the car
windows. The admiral waved his hand
and the children cheered and sung,
while several men tried to climb on the
rear platform. The next stop was made
at Essex Junction, where the train
was backed up to the station, which is
on the main line. Here a
GRAND ARMY POST

in waiting. The admiral stood on the
platform, bowed and smiled. The train
