Year by year as the glad spring-time
comes, weaving her buds and flowers,
with t@e green sward creeping DER

that as We gather together in these

show honor to t-ese battle-scarred vet
Grams, W. ose eyes are growing DINNER
and whose steps are more faltering each
passing year, that We pause at the
beginning of our exercises to pay trib-
ute to those who have gone on before.
Very rapidly now tie men who helped
make history in 186l-60 are passing
from the scene Of earthly existence.
Day by day "the roll is called up yon-
der" and one by one tne grand old
heroes answer "Here."
What a train of memories springs
bidden to our minds and hearts as
We approach this silent roll. Among
t. at company today is one near and
dear to every heart, Capt. ]. W. Gary,
who fell asleep like tired child jan
uary p, 1915. For many years he
was tne loved commander Of the James
D. Nance camp Of Confederate veter-
ans. He was good and brave soldier,
high-minded and pure-hearted, and the
memory of lis gentleness and kindness
will ever be cherished in the hearts
that are saddened today with sense
Of loss.
During the year twelve of the hon
cred veterans of the James D. Nance
camp ave gone to join their COM
rades.

THE BRIDGE TO OPEN ON TINE.
Sinking and Shiftings of Fills win Not
Delay The Event.

The shifting and sinking of several
fills in the new Hanover street bridge
over the Patapsco river will not delay
the opening of that structure for pub
lie use, says Chief Engineer Shirley.
of the State Roads Commission.
The engineer stated yesterday that
the sinking of the fills had been far
less than expected and that the fills on
the Brooklyn side had not given any
trouble. The main sinking occurred
on the Baltimore county end of the
500-foot span, where the mud on the
bottom gave way and shifted to some
extent. The last shifting occurred
several days ago and Mr. Shirley said
he believed no more would occur.
Many additional tons of earth have
been poured in the places affected,
and these are now believed to be abb
solutely sure and safe from an engi-
neering standpoint. In explaining the
report that some of the piers had shift
ted Mr.. Shirley said that the shifting
was not from the bottom, but that in
stead some of the piers had swung to
slight angle near the surface of the
water and that they had to be pulled
back into place.
None of the trouble has been Sc
rious," added Mr.. Shirley, "and, in fact
the setbacks along this line have been
far less than we expected"
