e range, of good reputation, and of abundant worth for entertainment and instruction. The labor performed by the board of officers along these lines has been wonderfully successful from the beginning, as a brief recital of some of the names of our entertainers will indicate: Rev. J.

Mayor Glines said in part:— Somerville appears to-day in a dual role. She is both guest and hostess. She is honored, and, in turn, she bestows honor. Mayor Glines said in part:— Somerville appears to-day in a dual role. She is both guest and hostess. She is honored, and, in turn, she bestows honor. She invites His Excellency the Governor and His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor of this great commonwealth to participate in these ceremonies. She honors them by a reception such as only so patriotic a city can give, and feels herself honored indeed by the unusual compliment of the presence of both of these distinguis

ce to his memory, especially as regards the noblest work or deeds of his illustrious career. Mayor Glines, Governor Bates, and Lieutenant-Governor Guild made various fitting allusions to him in their to which I have referred, and which I think may well be repeated in this connection. Said Mayor Glines: ‘On the evening of June 16, 1775, this soil again resounded with the tramp of soldiers, as tof the thirteen American colonies in a common bond against British oppression. This record,’ Mayor Glines declared, ‘belongs to the sublimest page in the history of the hill.’ I quote, also, froms, had not Putnam occupied Prospect Hill as he did, is intimated in words already quoted from Mayor Glines. At any rate, the service is seen to have been one of immense importance, and it was one enthave become of the recent celebration, and who would have ever heard the eloquent speeches of Mayor Glines, Governor Bates, Lieutenant-Governor Guild, and Mr. Ayer?

toast proposed by him was: Somerville, like Rome, sits on her seven hills, each crowned with an historic halo. See page 80. This was responded to by Mayor Charles A. Grimmons, who was warmly applauded at the close. He was followed by Major Edward Glines, whose toast was: Massachusetts, the brightest star in the national constellation. See page 82. Mr. Glines brought the congratulations of Governor Guild as he spoke for the old Bay state in eloquent words. John F. Ayer, former presidenMr. Glines brought the congratulations of Governor Guild as he spoke for the old Bay state in eloquent words. John F. Ayer, former president of the society and founder of the Bay State League, was called upon as the bard of Wakefield to speak for the League, and opened his remarks by reading a rhyme merrily dedicated to Mr. Elliot. Chief James R. Hopkins was asked to speak for The Blessing of the Bay, the First Ship of Our Navy, and much interest was created in his remarks as he produced a large piece of log from the old wharf or way in the Mystic River, where the Blessing of the Bay was launched in 1631.

Massachusetts, the brightest star in the national constellation By Major Edward Glines Before another month has come and gone a new star will have been added to that galaxy of stars which we call the United States of North America, but every addition of a new star upon our banner but gives additional lustre to the original thirteen, of which our own grand old commonwealth stands sixth in number. To a citizen of Massachusetts called upon to sing her praises, it is a contemplation worthy of the best thought, the best mind, the best ability, and the best endeavor of which one is capable. I would that it were in my power to express to you tonight the thoughts that must come to us all, and which involuntarily will seek expression, despite the inability to adequately give them voice. But it is a theme which I love, and which is dear to us all. Massachusetts, representative of all that is highest, and noblest, and best in the history of that great republic which stands at the
