The orator of the day, John F. Connor, of Mt.

The procession was again formed at the conclusion of the exercises and proceeded to the cemeteries to decorate the graves of those deceased, after which they marched through the principal streets to Main where the vari-ious companies were dismissed. The Wadsworth Hose Company were disappointed in not securing their new uniforms, the house from which they were ordered having sent word that it would be impossible to get them ready.

The Lantern and Hydrant Company appeared in new uniforms The Mt. Morris Band fully sustained its excellent reputation. All places of business were closed throughout the afternoon. Geneva. The sun was bright, the air was mild and everything was favorable for carrying out the programme arranged by Swift Post, although a stiff breeze kept the dust in motion too much for perfect comfort.

The line of march extended in about the usual order to Pulteney and Washington Street cemeteries, where halts were made to decorate the soldiers' graves.

Hubbard, Kent, Ehart and Boyle, Mr. Gafney delivered one of the best addresses ever listened to upon any occasion in Wayne county.
