Exercises in Manchester 
The joint installation of the offi- 
cers of Allen Post, 67, GAR, and 
Allen Relief Corps, in the Manches- 
ter Town hall Wednesday evening, 
was the occasion of a very pleasant 
gathering of the members of these 
two orders, and guests. 
Previous to the exercises a supper 
was served in GAR hall from 5.30 to 
6.30 to the members of the Post and 
euests by the WRC, and like all such 
oceasions under the auspicies of the 
women a fine supper was served. At 
7 o’clock all gathered at the Town 
hall. 
The Post officers were installed by 
J. Frank Dalton of Post 40 of Salem, 
with Comrade John Grover of Salem 
as officer-of-the-day. Comrade Dal- 
ton is considered one of the best in- 
stall ing officers in the Mass. de- 
partment and his knowledge of the 
ritualistic work and his ability to 
carry out the work was made evi- 
dent on this occasion. The work was 
performed in a most creditable man- 
ner. The following officers were in- 
stalled: 
Enoch Crombie, commander; Na- 
thaniel Morgan, senior vice com.; Al- 
fred S. Jewett, junior vice com.; 
James H. Rivers, adj.; J. W. Widger,

chap.; E. P. Stanley, SM; George A. 
Jones, QMS; A. S. Jewett, patriotic 
instructor. 
Tn installing the color bearer, Mr. 
O’Sullivan, the installing officer took 
oceasion to speak a good word for 
Mr. O’Sullivan, with whom he and 
the officer-of-the-day, Comrade Gro- 
ver had served in the navy. He 
praised Mr. O’Sullivan for his years 
of continued patriotic service, hav- 
ing enlisted in the regular army af- 
ter being discharged at the close of 
the war. He said that if it had not 
been for the navy the war would not 
yet be over. Later Comrade Dal- 
ton added the name of H. T. Bing- 
ham to the list, as he, too, had serv- 
ed in the navy on the same ship as 
the other three. 
After the Post officers had been in- 
stalled. Mrs. Nellie F. Libby of Sa- 
lem, the senior vice president of the 
Mass. WRC, proceeded to install the 
officers of the corps, as follows:

euard; Mrs. Lottie G. Hildreth, color 
bearer No. 1, Mrs. Jennie Walen, 2,

Mrs. Libby performed the work in 
a most creditable manner, casting a 
most pleasant atmosphere over the 
exercises, as is her usual way of do- 
ing things. 
After she had completed her work 
the new president, Mrs. Follett in a 
few well chosen words presented 
Mrs. Libby with a handsome cut- 
glass sugar bowl and creamer, to 
which Mrs. Libby replied that she 
did not need this as a remembrance 
for ever since she had first visited 
Allen Relief corps she had fallen in 
love with the corps and she was al- 
ways more than glad to come to 
Manchester. She thanked the mem- 
bers one and all for this kind expres- 
sion. 
Mrs. Libby in turn, on behalf of 
the corps, presented the retiring pre- 
sident, Mrs. Mitchell with a past 
president’s jewel, and Mrs. Mitchell 
replied briefly thanking the mem- 
bers. 
Mrs. Tappan moved that the Corps 
and the Post place itself on record 
as endorsing the candidacy of Mrs. 
Libby as the next department presi- 
dent of the WRC. Mrs. Libby thank- 
ed the two orders and assured them 
that if elected she would devote ev- 
ery minute of her time. to the work. 
Comrade Dalton was next called 
upon for remarks. He said that bou- 
quets had been passed around very 
generously and now he wanted to 
throw a bouquet at all for the good 
time he had been privileged to en- 
joy. He congratulated the two or- 
ders on having such a gathering as 
this and said the orders were cer- 
tainly awake in Manchester. 
Comrade Burnham of Essex re- 
sponded briefly and Comrade Alfred 
S. Jewett made a few remarks in his 
customary pleasing manner. A so- 
cial hour brought -the evening to a 
close, the visitors departing on the 
10.10 train.
