was being erected, and the French- 
men agreed to raise money for the 
_ hospital if allowed to parade. 
Con- 
sent was given and in the proces- 
- gion were large hay racks lines with 
cloth into which people threw their 
coins trom the houses as the proces- 
sion passed. The vast procession 
marched all day with no other music 
than the Marseilles Hymn, the bands 
playing it until they were tired, 
when the people would take it up 
and sing it until the musicians be- 
came rested and recovered their 
wind. 
He also gave an account of a Lon- 
don mob in Hyde Park on a Sun- 
day afternoon. The mob was deter- 
mined that D/’Israeli should not 
speak in opposition to Gladstone, 
who was thought to be favoring 
Russia too strongly. An organized 
band of 500 from the East End were 
there, and as soon as the speakers 
mounted a table would charge up- 
on it and destroy it. Sir Charles 
Dilke and Charles Bradlaugh tried 
to speak by climbing a tree, but 
the gang made it too hot for them 
and the police were powerless, 
to control a crowd of 40,000 people. 
The residents on Park Row barri- 
caded the doors and windows, but 
the crowd was finally broken up by 
a man appearing and piling a cocoa- 
nut on three others started the fa- 
miliar game which our boys play 
with marbles, giving the top cocoa- 
nut to the one who hit it. 
Rey. A. G. Warner spoke eloquent- 
ly of the beauties of Manchester and 
the influence which some particular 
associations have upon our lives. 
Francis M. Stanwood of the sum- 
- mer colony after an amusing narra- 
tion of some incidents of a trip to 
Europe taken by him when a young 
man of 22, gave an interesting ac- 
count of the change in newspapers 
during the past half century. The 
day of the editorial page is gone and 
what is wanted now is the news 
without coloring. Men now form 
their own opinions. The ordinary 
man would go home from a gather- 
ing like this and have hard work to ~ 
write an account of it, but the 
trained reporter will cover the es- 
sential facts in a’stickful. He gave 
an interesting resume of the rela- 
tive standing of the Boston dailies, 
and closed his remarks with a feel- 
ing allusion to the invitation to de- 
liver the address on Memorial Day, 
one of the highest honors of his life, 
and the recent presentation to him 
by Post 67 of a picture 
George L. Gould of Boston, spoke 
briefly, recalling the fact that his 
father was the first master of the 
High school and expressing his 
pleasure at being present. 
Town Clerk Alfred S. Jewett was 
the last speaker, and considered his 
advantages as a boy ahead of those 
of the present generation in that he 
was privileged to hear from the old 
ship captains on a barrel at the store 
the story of their experiences 
abroad. ‘Take for instance his fath- 
er-in-law, the late Captain Thomas 
Leach, who took over to the Czar one 
of the finest ships that ever crossed 
the ocean and was received by the 
chiet financial officer of the king- 
dom These captains frequently 
came in contact with prominent men. 
He considered the laborer of ev- 
ery day as having about the same 
sentiments that the bosses were get- 
ting rich from their labors, but those 
whom the fathers stoned, the sons 
build monuments to. Take the case 
of John Perry Allen who was born 
at what was then known as North 
Yarmouth. He learned to make a 
bureau and he moved up town and 
hired half a dozen other men to make 
them and by and by he had half a 
dozen men busy digging out the 
channel or building a causeway at 
work in various ways. 
It is true that when the panic of 
1837 came followed by a fire he was 
forced to the wall and could not 
meet his notes and had to fail and 
there were some men who perhaps 
did not feel sorry because he had 
been more successful than they and 
had been able to have a better din- 
ner. But it was an honor to him 
that through his labors the town 
was able to send out the skilled 
mechanics which made the pianos in 
Boston and elsewhere. 
He recalled the speeches of Mr. 
Allen in town meeting and how in 
his way he advised his fellow voters 
when he thought things were not go- 
ing right. His talk was perhaps on 
the Quintillian style but he always 
told good advice although it might 
not have been well received. 
He di not know of any. one who 
was filling the place of Mr. Bingham 
and doing a similar work unless it 
was Mr. Stanwood. These men may 
have been idealists and  sentimen- 
talists but their work will abide 
when the more conerete shall have 
passed away. 
In closing the meeting President 
Allen alluded feelingly to the de- 
ceased members and expressed the 
hope that all would be spared _ to 
meet again another year.
