SANG FOR LINCOLN.
OLD OUARTETTE AT MERIDEN
 TOWN HALL.

4 Prominent New Havener Adds a Pertinent Reminiscence From This End.
 Tine Meriden Journal said yesterday; soThe article in The Journal not long ago hv Mr Atwater upon the visit of Lincoln to this city and the announce ment of the fact that Meriden men re- called the incident of nearly half cen fury ago has brought forth some ln'el esting "reminiscences.
 "Those who attended that famous meeting and heard the great marty address will remember that one Of the features of that gathering at the town hall which took place almost torty-siN wears ago, was the singing of a quar- +ette of Meriden citizens, who used to sing a great deal together
 Al four of those singers are still ny ing Two of them are influential ciu- zens in Meriden and the others ale making their home in Harttora. All aniov good health, or did the last time word was heard of them'
 .'The Meriden men who sang Ill tnat onartette are Alfred Barker, the well known travelling man and senior part ner of Barker & Finnegan, and E. B. Everitt, the agent of the WILCOX neai T.1 Estate company. The others are VII liam K. Butler and Elisha K. Bradley of the capital city
 "The centennial committee lhnle- diately took stetps to see about re- union of the famous quartette tha' sang here in 1S60 It is proposed tc have the gentlemen sing, if they can De persuaded to do so, at some tunctloI during centennial week. The plan VII probably be to have them at the eAer' cises at the theater.
 'It is believed that this is the oldes ouartette in point of service in thu state and perhaps in the country A least, their friends make that claln and think it will be undisputed.'
 The above article from the Meridel naner was shown by a Courier repre- sentative to prominent New Havel citizen whose name appears below who recalled that 600 people went o a special train from this city to Merl dent to hear Lincoln speak on the oeca sion referred to. On the way addition to the crowd were taken on board a North Haven and Wallingford. Ther not being passenger cars enough t snare some of the cars of the trai were flat freight cars on which rail ing had been erected to keep the pass engers from falling off. But that di not damped the enthusiasm. One co respondent writes as follows:
