Military and civic organizations, pa- triotic societies, town and city’ officials and representatives of the*department of justice and the rank and file of the people came to participate in what was a new dedication of loyalty and patriotism and only one who is dead in life could have failed to be thrilled by thd remarkable outbursts of en- thusiasm with which the whole i spiring spectacie was repeatedly marked. Boys of '61 Cheer Boys of "17. Not since the days of '61 has there been such a demonstration in this city. Grizzled veterans who went away from this city to fight in the name of Liberty back in that long past day ‘were participants in Thursday’s dem- onstration, and some of them chgered themselves hoarse in their enthus over the boys who are going out in '17 for the same sacred rights for which they fought and bled. The pres- ence of these honored members of the G. A. R. representing Putnam and surrounding town also a grand inspiration for the selected men and they cheered back at the veterans of many 2 bard fought fight. N All Prompt and Ready. Thursday’s whole demonstration went off without a hitch. At 11 a. m. most every man of the contingent of 48 scheduled to go to camp had checle- ed in at the office of the exemption board and the four men who were a bit tardy appeared at Union hall by 11.30 ready and anxious to serve their country. Not a man of the contingent was missing and all of the seven al- ternates who had been called had to be content with a promise to be add- ed to the next contingent,] which will go out about October 4th. | A Whirlwind Send-Off. fghroughout , the day the arrange- ments for the demonstration worked like a smooth running watch and when the train that took the boye to Ayer pulled out of the station every last inch of space within sighting range of .| the long flung train was crowded with humanity. There cheers tears, a veritable blizzard of handker- chiefs and this district's contingent was on its way. Men from Norwich, ‘Willimantic, New London and Plain- fleld were on the same train and they joined in the great final whirlwind of cheering and goodbyes. Farewell Feast. The first big event of Thursday¥ for the certtfied men, 110 of them report- ing, was the splendid dinner served in Elks' hall. It was a real feast and *a great big surprise to the boys who are to wedr the khakl, for they had expected no_such elaborte spread. The New Ideal orchestra, Miss Ma- bel Dupre leader, played an inspiring march as the men filed in and took their places at tables beautifully dec orated with roses, ox-eye daisies, as- ters and ferns. The hall was adorned with the national colors. TRoast Vermont turkey was the cen- tral item around which the menu was built up by E. E. Robbins, acting with Richard Gorman and Charles E. Dean of the-dinner committee. There was a limitiss supply of good things ehd the selected men just bubbled with enthusiasm and good nature. At the dinner the members of the exemption board, Dr. J. Bryon Kent, Attorney Charles L. Torrey and Ed- ward A. Sullivan were guests. At the close of the dinner the boys cheered the pretty waixcesses, the members of the dinner committee, Mr. Robbins and the orchestra, which had played delightfully. The Big Parade. The dinnef over, the certified men were quickly formed in line for the big_parade, which got away promptly at 2 o'clock under the efficient hard- ling of Captain Charles A. Thaver, marshal, altbough some Danieison tnits were not then in line, being de- layeg by the non-arrival of a trolley car, but these units arrived in time to get into the parade on South Main street.
