then turned the meeting over to the
committee who had charge of the pro-

was the singing Of America" by all
present, and on completion thereof, the
audience remained standing while a
group Of young ladies gave an express

during the evening. The spirit was at
once taken up by all the good boosters
and all joined in with the following
