Yesterday morning the trains
were mostly on time or nearly so
but during the day travel conditions

several hours late. The evening
train from the north did not arrive

According to the weather reports

Col. Abbott's response was the
best speech of the evening. He is
diaident man who can rarely be in
duced to say anything in public. but
taken by surprise and deeply touch
ed by the feeling toward him shown
by those present, his response was a
gem of unassuming oratory.
Following the speaking there were
several vocal selections by the club

the occasion and composed of A. j..
