 Twas the 27th's day at savin Rock yesterday, and the stately old veterans literally owned the place. In fact many a young man found it difficult to keep the attention of the object of his affec- tions fixed upon his conversation while the gallant old soldiers were prome- nading the walks. Many clad in their G. A. R. uniforms to which was added the brilliancy of a beautiful blue and gold bldge. And what is more, they were as pIe9sed with their impression on the young ladies as if they were eighteen instead of sixty odd years.

 After the business meeting the asso- citation adjourned to Putnam's restau- rant, where an excellent shore dinner was served a notable ract of the ban quet being that no intoxicants or ci- gars were served.
 On the speaking list Dr. Goodser was first and he made short but interest ing little speech in which he lauded the women and the part they took in the war. He finished by paying glowing tribute to the flag.
 Colonel Bostwick spoke of the dead comrades in a very feeling manner, and the veterans all rose and stood in si- 1ence in their honor.
 Mayor Cummings of Stamford spoke as follows:

 My other feeling is that of embarr- assment that I, who was born six years after Lee gave up his sword should pre- sume to speak before such an au- dience."

Dr. Bellows tried to select a text for his sermon to suit the
