TOWN HALL in Manchester was 
filled on Tuesday evening for the 
annual exercises of Allen Post, G. A. 
R., in observance of Memorial Day. 
Members of the Post; Camp 149, 5. 
of V.; Allen Relief Corps and Boy 
Scouts occupied a portion of the hall 
nearest the stage. A deep bank of 
wild flowers adorned the front of the 
platform and American flags were 
draped about the top and sides of the 
stage. 
The program started with the sing- 
ing of “Where are the boys of the 
old brigade?” by the Shubert quartet. 
They followed with “Nellie Gray.” 
Rev. A. G. Warner offered the invo- 
cation and the quartet sang, “Just be- 
yond the hilltops.” The general or- 
ders were read by Adjutant James 
Rivers, who also read the general 
orders of General Logan delivered on 
May 30, 1868. 
Two quartet selections, “Come 
where my love light’s dreaming,” and 
“My Rosary,” followed. Enoch Fol- 
lett, grandson of Post Commander 
Enoch Crombie, delivered Lincoln’; 
Gettysburg address. A quartet selec- 
tion, “When the Boys in Blue are 
Gone,” followed. 
Past Commander of the Depart- 
ment of Massachusetts, Alfred S. 
Roe of Worcester, delivered the ad- 
dress of the evening. 
“T am glad to come to Manchester 
and meet my Junior Vice Commander 
on his native heath,” said Mr. Roe. 
“His name may not be MacGregor, 
but Stanley is just as good. 
“The quartet just sang ‘who will 
tell the story when the boys in blue 
are gone?’ I don’t know that any of 
us will try to pass himself off as a 
young man. It is 55 years from the 
3attle of Bull Run, so you see we are 
not quite ‘boys.’ However, a man is 
as young as he feels. If he feels as 
young as he did years ago there is .9 
reason why he should not attempt the 
things he feels able to do. There 
were many of us who did not march 
today, but had to ride, because we are 
not so young as we used to be. 
“T am asked sometimes during this 
talk about Preparedness if we could 
do our bit in time of danger. I point 
to old John Burns of Gettysburg. He 
was as old as we are and you all know 
what he did on that day.” 
Mr. Roe spoke: of the thinning 
ranks of the G. A. R. and of the day 
when there would be none left to re- 
member the departed comrades. He 
knew, however, that someone would 
keep up the memory of the veterans.
