the same and call for the same consider
ate treatment, therefore it is to be hopet
that the good work of year ago will b.
repeated and the celebration confined t
the day instead of the night and be con
Quoted in a manner conforming to law
order and reasonable patriotism. 4
programe is now being arranged for pub
lie exercises on the Common in the after
