rious morning for America! But he and the other proscript, Hancock, found it desirable to move further away to the quiet home of Parson Marrett in Woburn precinct. A century and a half and the provincial America has become America the beautiful, from sea to shining sea. The anniversary of that battle day, made a holiday by our General Court, was wisely named by Governor Greenhalge Patriot's Day. It is well that special observance of it is made, all the way from Boston to Lexington and Concord. Medford did well her part for two days this year, as the nineteenth fell on Sunday. In the churches, at morning service, especial notice was taken, and at Medford theatre, in the afternoon, a great concourse of citizens assembled. Appropriate addresses were made by our Governor Fuller and Mayor Coolidge. The latter was especially commemorative of the Medford Minute Men of 1775. The local press said, No more comprehensive story of Medford's part in the opening days of the Revolution

The genial owner, Edward Gaffey, made them welcome and opened hospitable doors to many friends. The few Grand Army men left to us turned out, true to the colors, as ever, as well as their associates, and the Legion. A Medford girl read the Ride of Paul Revere; America and Star Spangled Banner were sung, and the mayor made the brief address which we present. Then the rider started, and was followed to Lexington by the fifty-nine Minute Men with their old guns and costumes, not omitting the famous rum barrel. There was a Sioux Indian chief upon his broncho (Sergeant Brewster), a feature not in Captain Hall's old command. All present houses which were there when Revere rode by were marked for the occasion with a placard by the city messenger, directed by a committee of the Historical Society. Medford did herself proud that day.
