the Invocation would be asked by

course of the prayer, the bishop said
'As We now commemorate the first
unfurling in battle of our national flag,
SO we implore Thee to grant that ii
may never be unfurled save in the
cause OF truth and equity. When we
look upon it from time to time, may
its blue remind US Of the truer blue

seek the more earnestly that heavenly
home in which they who have served
| Thee faithfully here shall shine as the
stars in the armament forever and ever.
Save this Republic and common
wealth from evil and designing men
and from all sin, and crime, and vice. q

The First Regiment Band, which
furnished the instrumental music for
the occasion, played an overture, after
which Chief Justice Lore made the
following Introductory remarks:
Tradition clothes the ground upon
which VIC are gathered with special in.

the Stars and Stripes were first un.
furled In battle, on September I'd, 1777.
The flag so unfurled, symbolized al

stars:
1.-The Stars and Strires were First
Unfurled in Battle at Coooh's Bridge.
Erected by Patriotic Societies and
Citizens of the State of Delaware, Sep
tember Sd, 1901.
The very handsome stone, standing
eight feet high, was enclosed in a
square, the corners of which were
marked by cannon, and The sides by
heavy anchor chains.
Here, by the "banks of the placid
headwaters of the Christiana," the
bench and bar. the manufacturing and
mercantile interests of the State, the
dread art of war, the widespread desire
for peace, the youth and beauty Of
this proud commonwealth, all these
were represented in the throng which
observed the 124th anniversary of Della
wsre's only land battle. The size Of
the gathering was all the more note.
worthy because of the unprupitious
weather.
II raiued hard before the special
train left Wilmington for the scene OF
the exercises and it rained while they
were 10 progress. At times the sun
shone 80 warmly as to make il uncom
Portable. and in this respect it was like
the September Sd in 1777 according to
the diary of British officer. mentioned
ia Henry O. Conrad's address. About
800 persons went by train from vii.
mington, the special being In charge oi
Conductor Brown and having Superin-
tendent Bannard, Trainmaster Carlisle
aud Assistant Trainmaster Hyland on
board. Gov. John Hum and his stafi
were Ia this party. When Cooch q
Bridge was reached it was found thai
many persons had already arrived by
carriages. The roadway soon became
nearly choked up with vehicles and
spectators, the latter gathering about q
platform which had been erected oppo
site the monument. This platform was
decorated with flags and bunting, and
beneath shield at its top was an en-.
CRAVING of Washington, taken from q
painting made for Masonic lodge in
Alexandria, Va. 1t is considered one
Of the best portraits Of Washington,
and was loaned for tho occasion by
Bishop Coleman.
The monument itself, which stands
OF the edge of the Coooh lawn, was al
first concealed by white cloth. Beyond
the stone was the handsome colonia
residence of j. Wilkins Coooh.

the responsible manhood unit; that is

the responsible manhood unit; that Is
all power from the people.
From that time the Stars and Stripes
have been the ideal banner of freedom !;
the flag of hope for all people, Their
Significance and power lie in the prin-
oiples and possibilities that they repre-
sent. They challenge the past, and in
woke the future as the tests Of their
fruit and promise.
We are here today, to unveil an
enduring memorial OF our devotion to
that flag and all 1t repr esents. The
thought of marking this spot was
suggested by one Of our Delaware
women a few months since. Acting
upon that suggestions, public
meeting was called and committee
appointed, under whose fostering care,
aided by the patriotic societies and
citizens OF the Stats, that thought had
grown into the granite reality now
before us.
So it comes, that our country's flag,
moulded by Washington fashioned by
the hands of Betsy Ross, and here
first raised In battle, has been chiseled
in Delaware granite, at woman's sug-
gestion; to stand for all time upon this
initial battlefield, as the token of our
love and gratitude. s1
Honored as your chairman, it is my
privilege to extend TO you all hearty
welcome and to ask your interest and
participation in the exercises.
