NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Town Hall Crowded 
At Evening Exercises. 
No tess fervent was the patriotism 
of the Manchester people in the 
evening than in the afternoon, for 
at the patriotic exercises in Town 
hall, 8 o’clock, not a seat could be 
obtained almost fifteen minutes be- 
fore the time for the concert had 
arrived. The programme, which 
was of a very interesting nature, 
was prepared and the affair was in 
charge of a committee of the WR 
C., of which Mrs. Hannah Tappan 
was chairman. 
Previous to the exercises the band 
gave a concert on the Common and 
they also rendered the opening num- 
ber in the hall. Past Commander 
Enoch Crombie of the Post pre- 
sided, and Commander E. P. Stan- 
ley gave a short address of welcome. 
Mr. Stanley said he welcomed 
the gathering in behalf of Post 67, 
but more especially in behalf of Al- 
len Relief Corps, as they had charge 
of the entertainment. He paid 
glowing tribute to the Stars and 
Stripes and said the grand old ban- 
ner might be symbolized as_ the 
rainbow of hope. “We have in this 
country,’ he continued, “people 
from all quarters of the globe, many 
of whom have come here with the 
hope of liberty in their hearts, and 
I think that hope has been realized.” 
He spoke also of the new posses- 
sions—Cuba and the Philippines— 
and said that though the Filipino 
did not now realize the good there 
is being done him, in a few years 
the influence of civilization will 
have been felt in that country, and 
these people will then thank the 
United States for the action they 
took in their behalf. 
“The time is “net far arstant. 
he said, “when everyone on the face 
of the globe will be civilized, and 
we shall come pretty near seeing an 
amalgamation of the races.” 
The several selections by 
the Post quartette, conl- 
posed of Charles G. Gold- 
smith, Henry T. Bingham, A. J. Orr 
and William J. Pert, were the star 
numbers of the evening. The quar- 
tette is said to be next to the oldest 
Post quartette in the state. The 
readings of Miss Harriet Brewster 
and P. H. Doyle, and the remar«s 
by Rev. Mr. Ashley were very it- 
teresting. The bayonet drill and 
manual of arms by a squad of ten 
of the Ub. BA Capt. Gawact 
in command, was equally interest- 
ing 
Rev. Mr. Ashley in his remarks 
said he thought it was a time for 
thanksgiving and _ congratulations. 
“Ought we not to be thankful,” he 
said, “for the 40 years that have 
passed since that conflict? Ought 
we not to be grateful that we can 
send out our thanksgivings that we 
as a nation have been exalted  o9f 
God as such, saying unto all na- 
tions, ‘Follow us into the 
world where all are one.’ 
“We are fighting battles today 
that are even greater than those of 
our Civil war. We are still burning 
citadels, yet we are having no such 
glory as we gave our soldiers. 
“The day is coming when these 
great corporations and trusts that 
have been rotting the fibre of the 
best men of the nation are to be 
transformed into things that make 
for righteousness and we shall have 
great philanthropists instead of gi- 
ants that have been eating the life 
of the nation. It is coming because 
of the days of ‘61. Our railways 
are going to be run for the benefit 
of the people; these great trusts 
that are now handling the great 
forces of the nation’s life are going 
to be handled by the people. And 
I admonish the young people to en- 
ter the ranks and fight for free- 
dom in these things, and _ these 
things that are for the people shall 
be by the people and of the people.”
