ceptance of the report, and the raising
and payment of the amount named, and
followed with suitable remarks for the

he offered, which were unanimously

of the granite boulder and bronze tablet
erected in honor of the illustrious and
beloved Senator Hannibal Hamlin, Vice
President of the United States and con-
fidential adviser during the first historic
and memorable administration of our
LOYAL and exalted President, Abraham
Lincoln, and having celebrated the one

desire in a suitable manner to express
their appreciation of the services of the

With heartfelt emotion we also recall
the presence of the venerable widow of
Hannibal Hamlin, which added so much
To the interest of the exercises.
The famous band of the National Sol
diers' Home furnished most entertaining
music and is entitled to great praise for
its part in the services of the day.
We also extend to Rear Admiral Henry
W. Lyon (retiredD chairman of the Paris
executive committee and his associates
