New Britain, Sept. 19.--This city and
town celebrated to-day in the dedication of
monument to the memorial of its soldiers
and sailors who served In the CIVIL war,
an occasion for which it has waited thirty
two years. For it was in lSoo that the
town meeting was held which appointed Il
committee to Investigate designs ana tne
cost of such a monument. decade ago
the site in Central Park was DECIDED upon,
but 1t was not until the death OF Cornelius
b. Erwin in 1885 and the announcement
that he had left $4,000 to the town Tor
the purpose did the way for It's erection
make itself manifest. But after to-day $
brilliant celebration New Britain people de-
clare that the event was well worth the
waiting. The city had been preparing 1or
months for what was on all sides regarded
as the greatest day In It's history, mere
was a street parade in which 1000 people
marched or rode, II line or brilliant aecofa-
tions covering line OF march OF TOUR
miles, and which required ten days in their
erection, and speech making ny such ORA
tors as Senator Joseph K. Hawley, ms eX-
cellency Governor Lounsbury, ana Judge a.
b. Beers of Bridgeport.
The city entertained 10000 people, VINO
took advantage of the special raliroad
rates to attend the celebration The pa
rade formed ut 1880 clock. us grand
marshal was Colonel Samuel a. Moore of
the Fourteenth Connecticut, regarded as
New Britain's greatest Ciril war hero.
Brgadier General Frost and stair rode in
carriages. The governor was attended by
his staff mounted. The Putnam phalanX
was in line and was cheered all along the
line of march. Some disappointment was
caused by the absence OF the Hartford
companies of the First regiment. Compa-
MES | and Il of this city OF the regiment
were in line. Nearly 400 civil war yeter--
ans, members Of the G. A. r., marched and
they made Il fine showing. The. remainder
of the parade was made w of the local
civic societies.
1t was estimated that 10000 people
thronged the square about the monument
in Central park when the speech making
commenced.
The streets are so laid out surrounding
the monument tnat the orators were able
to make their patriotic words heard by one
half the vast throng, the largest ever gath
cred iii this city. The monument commit
tee, composed Of Henry Russell, Il. w.
Stanley and Ambrose Beattey, presented
the memorial to the town, and 1t was Tor
maly accepted by Selectman Hurlburt.
The visiting veterans and the guests were
fed in the armories and the public halls,
300 of the young ladies of the city acting
as Mattresses. The day has been made the
occasion of a return to New Britain of sons
and daughters who have not been here In
years. and the social side of the event has
not been neglected.
