sentiment pertinent to the occasion.
The Palisade Choral Society was in
order next, presenting "The Pill
glim's Chorus" by lombard, Mr..
Wilbur F. Holt welding the baton in
the absence of Mr.. A. w. Tams, the
regular conductor, who was i'll. Mr..
Holt performed his duties admirably
and the chorus was sung with fine
effect, receiving much applause.
Charles Thomas Logan, the original
pioneer, Palisades first resident,
spoke feelingly of his family's first
day in Palisade, April II, 1905. Mr..
Logan's speech was more or less hu-
morous and he had close attention.
His complete remarks are published
elsewhere.
Chairman Carson was now becom-
ing more and more interesting and
felicitous. He called on John NJ.
Hunter, who helped to lay out Pail
SADIE, and who built our roadways and
planted trees everywhere. Mr.. Hunter
has recently been i'll and was not
present. Many pleasant things were
said Of him during the evening and
no doubt his ears burned that night
in his Englewood home.

Mr.. w. Won Hartman's tenor solo
was we'll received and he made very
agreeable impression. He has a very
sweet toned tenor and in making pro-
gress is its cultivation.
Mrs. Carl Stulpnagel played
piano solo in her best style, her selec
ton being Chopin's Nocturne, which
she rendered with feeling expression.
Mrs. Stulpnagel's playing is always
appreciated.

Mr.. Vincent B. Kelly next gave a
twenty minute talk on "Palisade His
tory in a Nutshell" in which he re-
viewed all of the events as they came
along in regular order as far as he
could get at the facts, though there
were several he left out, including
the establishment of Palisades first
newspaper "The Palisadian," in
September, 1906. But this was be-
fore his time and he is excused. The
editor who is writing this report,
staggered under the blow, but for
gave it, as Mr.. Kelly had to devote
seven-eighths of his time to patching
up his political fences. He dwelt long
and in detail upon the many things
that had been done for the good of
the town by organizations he had be-
longed to, and made an eloquent ap
peal for all of them. Mr. Kelly, as
usual, made a forceful, eloquent, able
address, showing that it had been
prepared with great care, and filled
with incontrovertable facts about the
Intebroro Protective League, the
Eastern Bergen Improvement Asso-
citation and the many reforms they
had worked out. He made a tender
allusion to Arthur w. Tams and
characterized him as the friend of
Palisade, regretting that he was i'll
and unable to be present. At the
mention of Mr.. Tams' name the
audience gave demonstration of ap-
plause showing the high esteem in
which he is held in Palisade, lasting
rupting Mr.. Kelly's flow of oratory.
Then moment later mouse created
CONSERVATION in the north of the
audience and again broke in on him.
Mr.. Kelly alluded to many of the
political features of Palisade, and
brought out effectively the fine work
of Mayor White, at which there was
also much applause. That Mr.. Kelly
made profound impression, could
not be denied, and no one present
wanted to. AS a speaker with a
message, Mr.. Kelly was proudly ac-
claimed. He made the distinct hit OF
the evening without doubt, and de-
served the many interruptions of ap-
plause he got.
George D. Roedeles, whose ample
proportions and happy face are so
we'll known and so deservedly popu-
lar in Palisade, sang his famous
Laughing Song" and literally con-
vulsed the audience. That is no mean
feat he performs in his song, and ne
never did it better.
Mrs. Herbert Middleton, always a
| favorite, sang CD land a
demand being made for an encore,
sang (?) Both songs were
in her best style. Her voice gets
better all the while.
In the absence of A. w. Tams, Mr..
Carson read wireless" from him,
which was received with much laugh
ter and applause.
