Crowded.
FINAL FORMAL CEREMONY.

| Gettysburg, Pa.-The regular army
paid tribute July 4, to the thousands
who sleep under the hills of Gettys-
burg. Somewhere down in the heart
of the tented city a bugle sang out in
silver sweet call, that wandered over
the field where Lee and Meade made
history.
The big flag before the headquarters
of General Liggett flashing in sudden
curves of red and white and blue,
glorious in the sunshine of a perfect
July day, came slowly halfway down
{ the shaft In front of the tent, Shout
ders squared, figure trim in summer
uniform of white, face toward the flag,
the Generals clicked heels together
and stood at attention.
Somewhere the guns Of the Third
Battery burst into staccato salute.
Every officer over the length and
breadth Of that wide field, every en-
listed man turned away from the
duties Of the moment and faced the
! flag, heels together, heads up and eyes
alight with the sentiment of the hour.
As the last sun of 48 sent the echoes
gathering about Seminary Ridge and
Round Top there was solemn silence
the hush Of peace Old veterans who
did not realize, perhaps, exactly what
was going on stood silent under the
spell of the universal feeling that
seemed to sweep the field.
Then the bugle spoke again in notes
more joyous. The silken flag leaped
up the staff to its very pinnacle, and
the noise that forty thousand men can
make, resumed their sway, the regular
army's tribute to the dead and to the
flag Of a reunited nation.
The five minutes silence was prob
ably the last formal mark of the semi
centennial celebration.
The President came into Gettysburg
shortly before II o'clock from Balti.

President paused for a moment TO let

Governor Tener introduced him in a
dozen words and as he rose to speak
there was another cheer
The President spoke slowly and
carefully, but the breeze that played
under the sides of the tent, the rest

the rear seats to hear and under

The President was in the tent only a
half hour. At the conclusion Of his
speech he shook hands with many Of
those on the platform and then walk
ed between lines of the constabulary
to his private car waiting on a near
by siding. He stood on the rear plat
form as the train pushed slowly down
toward Gettysburg, through the camp.
A few minutes later he started for
Harrisburg and the North.
