OVATION TO BOYS
ON NIGHT BEFORE
Addison House Park ThrOnged
With Nearly 1000 Persons
Cheers for The Boys, With Music
and Patriotic Speeches

Long-to- be remembered was the
night before, Fine weather, a fine
crowd and fine speeches, combined TO
make the countrywide assembly in the
Park at Middlebury on Wednesday
evening, in honor Of the first conscripts
an occasion the like Of which Addison
County has never seen before
There were between three and four
thousand people who gathered from
every town in the county. No one
questioned but that il was the largest
gathering o, the kind in the history Of
the county. The slope of the park hill
around the rostrum, from which half u
dozen representatives citizens of the
county spoke, formed natural ampi-
theatre which was dense with people.
The big naples, still in their full
green leaves, and star-lit sky, was
the roof
A touch of red fire and the lighted
band-stand, decked with flags, gave
color to the center of the scene while
the roads on three sides of the park
were jammed with automobiles, giving
the enclosure border of countless
llEHNos HNlN lllhoN nave uNIll lllltt
hundred cars present.
Close to the rostrum, seats were re-
served, on the one side for score or
more of G. A. r, veterans and their
wives, and on the other side the places
for the 55 men selected by the great
lottery of the draft to leave for
the war The rest of the big crowd
stood, and without fatigue so well
timed and so interesting were the ex-
ercises.
The Hon. John +. Weeks presided as
chairman of the ceremonies, At his
signal the throng parted and made a
path for the new soldiers who amid
cheers and hand-clapping marched down
from the Court House, every man
present-behnd the band. Members
Of the Bristol band and some Vergennes
musicians combined with the Middle
bury band and furnished music for the
occasion.
Opening the program with brief re-
marks Judge Weeks recalled the days
when Addieon County sent her youtlg
men off to the Civil war. They never
got such great send-of as was the
fortune of the new soldiers. There
were difficulties then in the way of such
a great representive gathering of the
county people. But today with the au-
tomobies, the better roads, and ac-
commodations, the county could unite
on such an occasion and it was an inspi-
ration to all to do So Addressing the
new soldiers he said the gathering
