OFF FOR BRoCKToN.

| pany and one for the transportation Of
the ladies who had assisted at the fair

| town hall for the muster in Brockton.
There was a goodly contingent who
started with them and the boys seemed
| confident that they were going TO bring
| home one of the prizes. One of the
pleasant features OF the oc,S sion was the
| presentation before the start OF a magni-
| ncent bouquet of cut flowers to Joseph
| eastman.
/ The presentation was made by James
Mullen. who I'm a brief but eloquent burst
of enthusiastic oratory presented the bou-
| quet 20 Mr.. eastman on behalf OF his
| friends. The presentation came as a sur
| prise TO the recipient OF the expression
| of the esteem of his associates and for
! moment he was taken back with SUR
| prise, but he rose 10 the occasion and
| in neat speech expressed his apprecia-
ton of the regard of which the flowers
were token, saying that though the
flowers might wither. his regard for
| those from whom they came would ever
| be as fresh as II was this morning.
