In the early morning many went to the center of the city to witness the Memorial day parade, and just before noon the local procession was formed, with Colonel William E. Morgan os marshall It was composed of the Lancraft drum corps, veterans of the war and navy, Boys brigade of the Humphrey Street Con- Igregational church, school children and disabled war veterans in carriages. The route of march was from Polar Star hall, over the river to Lenox street, countermarching and then to the Falr Haven cemetery, where the G. A.

Dr. Sheath, of the Grand Avenue Congregational church. It was an excellent address and was listened to by a large number of people who had assembled in the cemetery. In the course of his address he said:
 Men of the civil war, to you the question must arise, will the coming generation do for us and our comrades what we are doing to-day? It is true that out of sight, out of mind, and yet l believe that this beautiful custom will remain. It is deeply rooted in the hearts of the American people and is fostered by church, school and press, Further, the work you have wrought will never be forgotten. Abolishment of slavery, a united republic and liberty for all are due to your effort in the days of the Rebellion. Again, a race is rising whose gratitude will yet be shown. When the colored race have the opportunity they will show forth their appreciation. And then, too, there are special periods of revivication, centennials and semi centennials of historic events. These renew the obligation to those of the past who have given great service to the republic.
 God never forgets the righteous ef- forts of men. The sweet remembrance of the just shall flourish when he sleeps in dust.
 50 I have no fears. You are worthy of remembrance and you shall always have it.''
