STO WE'S GREAT DAY.

Stowe, Aug. 20.-The heavy rain
which began soon after the close of
the soldiers memorial dedicatory ex-
ercises yesterday afternoon did not
seriously effect the closing events of
the day and large company attended
the evening concert by the Wilder
orchestra of Montpelier and the dedi-
catory ball following. The concert
was an exceptionally pleasing one and
Mr.. Wilder aud his splendid company
of musicians will be long remembered
by the music loving people of this
vicinity, 1t was after 10 O'Clock
when the grand march led by Mr. and
Mrs. H. @. Akeley began. From
that until after o'clock this morn
ing the dancing continued and more
enjoyable occasion would be difficult
to imagine, Interspersed with the
modern two-step were the French
Four" and Money Musk" of other
days SO that the dancers, old and
young, were perfectly at home in this
regard. The Wilder orchestra also
furnished music for dancing, and the
pretty opera house proved an admir-
able place for a function of that kind.
Rain doubtless interfered with the
attendance somewhat but notwith-
standing this the floor was we'll filled
with dancers, fully one-half of them
being from out of town,
Too much cannot be said of the
splendid way in which the exercises of
the afternoon were carried out. The
Stowe Band, George A. Burnham
director, was augmented by several
membe of the Montpelier Band and
I rendered fine program. @. L. Nc
Mahon was splendid presiding officer
and all the addresses were brief and
to the point. An interesting feature of
che report of H. G.. Thomas was
the cost of the building which aggre-
gated $48, 1887 including the site.
This was entirely the gift of Mr.
Akeley. Secretary Shaw was among
old neighbors and he addressed his
audience in familiar way which
| held the undivided attention OF all.
His theme was the broad subject of
the growth and greatness Of the
United States and the speaker was
frequently applauded.
Congressman ID. ]. Foster and the
Hon. H. II. Powers Of Morrisville
were scheduled to speak but the late
ness of the hour prevented it,
Following the speechmaking there
was reception in Memorial Hall,
the receiving party being composed
of Mr.. and Mrs. Akeley and Miss
Akeley, Secretary Shaw, Mr. and Mrs.
H. G.. Thomas Mr. and Mrs. @. L..
Mcmahon and Mrs. Julia A. Cakes.
} Secretary Shaw left shortly after
o clock for New York via Waterbury.

fire was rung in at 10 10 O'Clock today

was terrified at the result of his play
