We are commemorating now an event of that war, as it transpired, ; and thanks to the patriotic so- you have set up a memorial in bronze, a century mark that, vocal of the past, will be read in future times when we have ceased to be. There is a touch of solemnity about it all. It reminds us that all centen- nials are sad. it never. in When one is observed, the main, recurs again to the same individual, on this mor- tal journey—To him its greeting is “Hail and arewell A century’ hence, another generation will cele- brate this day, we hope, with some measure of devotion. but we will not be here. Long ere then, we will have mouldered to forgotten dust. Today we hold the center of the stage, in this passing hour: we drink to the memory of those heroes, dead, who with sublime courage, faced the iron storm of war; but they who will ears to come, will know usD not. To them we will not even be a memory. Still, we are not depressed. . We come not 'to exalt ourselves. but in a spirit of devotion; and we strive to uncover the truth of history to do justice to the dead.

When the vanguard of the long pro. cession turned into Main street and Dassed in review before the stand on Wadawanuck park at 3.30 the streets were lined with thousands of people on both sides of the park, and all up | and down the streets from Point to railroad station by all odds it was the largest gathering of people that the residents ever recall within the limits of the borough. And long before the | line had passed the reviewing stand, and up around the railroad station, its | head was down on the other side of | the park, directed for the Point. Thence it: marched up Main street past the stand again, and to the big eating tent in Stanton 'park, where the paraders were served a bountiful supper.
