The members of the regiment most of them returned home over the Lehigh Valley railway last night, The wash-out on the Northern Central railway made the trip long and tedious, but no one regretted the journey. The veterans drove over the three days' I battle fields, and studied the location with a good deal of Interest. They were photographed in a group on their return to the hotel. A vote of thanks was tendered ex-Sen- ator Mills for his eloquent dedicatory address to the committee of arrangements, and to the ladies who presented the floral wreath. In the course of his dedicatory address Captain Mills mentioned the fact not generally known, that the first flag of truce at Appomattox was sent over to the Eighth i Cavalry.

The granite monument to Reynolds Battery is situated about twenty rods south 1 of the Eighth Cavalry monument. Each has a bronze relief of the coat of arms of the I state of New York. 1 William Patterson, of this city, who is on record as firing the first shot at the enemy's pickets at 5 o'clock on the mem- orable July 1, 1863, carried the banner of the regiment at the reunion. Wednesday was Michigan's day. The Michigan soldiers figured largely in the threa day's fight at Gettysburg and nearly one thousand survivors took part in the dediea- tory exercises at the various monuments.

Governor Luce was at the head of the dele- gation. Dur Men's Department, Our Boys5 Department man, Captain A. M. MiUs, of Little Falls. Ex-Senator Mills said Comrades of the Eighth New York Cavaxry "We greet each other to-day npon a memorable spot.

Other fields in the land are as fertile and as fair as this other hills in America are covered with eternal glory other valleys teem with soul stirring tradition and patriotic lore. In various parts of the union are fields that have been immortalized by the heroism and devotion of our race, but this place is consecrated as the scene of one of those decisive events that effect for all time the course of human history. Observation of the past shows that at long intervals from each other deeds are performed upon which the welfare of the world seems to stand. On some chance field a conflict takes place in which liberty is lost or No man selects it or foretells it, but between sunrise and sunset the deed is done, and from that day the place is enchanted. Ever afterward its name is spoken with reverence by all men.

Such is the field on which we stand. We are here to commemorate this scene to revive the memories which we cherish, and renew the experiences through which we passed. But, comrades, this spot is not all ours. It belongs to our people, and not alone to America. For all time it is the possession of the human race.

Like the fields of Marathon, of Arbella, of Tours, of Hastings, of Waterloo, it belongs to the entire world. 4 The drama of the rebellion that opened on Southern soil in 1861, culminated here in these vales and on these rugged hills, a quarter of a century ago. Well do we remember it, and faithfully does history record that the most atrocious conspiracy and endeavor against human rights was prosperous at the outset. It seemed to flourish in the sunshine of the South. Its armies were not only rapidly organized, but previous preparation made them skillful and efficient, and they ought bravely and to more frequent victory than did we.

For two fearful years of sacrifice and loss we assailed the rebellion in its home in the South, and we were most often beaten. The public expectation that tho war speedily be ended was disappointed. Our leaders began to be somewhat discouraged, and our people at home became anxious and fearful of the results. In many quarters behind us in the North traitorous sympathies and prediction, which had not been fashionable at the first, began to be active and find open expression. These sentiments of opposition were not only expressed among our people, but exaggerated to their extent.

They were communicated to the South and the Confederates came to believe that the Northern people were tired of the war. Elated by their past successes, acting upon this conviction, and believing that the pressure of a Confederate army on Northern soil would develop sympathizers with the South and disperse the sympathizers of the Union, the Confederacy in 1863 assumed the offensive, and sent the strongest army it ever had to invade the North. 4 I remember on the morning of June 29th, that year, while we were on the march from Virginia northward through the State of Maryland, my duty called me to a signal station at the top of the Blue Ridge Mountain, a little north 0 the Maryland Heights. 4 4 It was apparent that a collision was inevitable. Shortly afterwards it came here upon this memorable spot.

For three days the concentrated power of the Confederacy was locked in a death struggle with the forces of the Union, and when he conflict was over, when the smoke of battle had drifted away from these hills, the name of Gettysburg was immortal. It was written down among the few places on the earth where the fate of the human race itself seeme to have been decided in a few hours. It had become one of the landmarks of time. When the battle was over the integrity of the American Union was assured. Here, by Our Children's will permit.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL REUNION Nearly Forty Surviving Members of the Regiment Participate in the Exercises '-An Eloquent Address, by Ex- Senator Mills Memories.

The eleventh annual reunion of the Eighth New York Cavalry was held on the historic battlefield of Gettysburg on Wednesday. The members of the regiment who participated left Rochester on Monday night over the Lehigh Valley railway. The journey was a long and tedious one by way of Allen-town, Harrisburg and the Cumberland Valley, and Gettysburg was not reached until 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The remainder of Tuesday was devoted to refreshing recollections of the three days' fight, and in resting from the long and tiresome journey. When the roll was called on Wednesday, preparatory to dedicating the monument, the following members responded A.

On it3 face is the figure of a cavalryman on horse-back, with the name of the regiment and division. On the reverse is the inscription 1 Casualties, three killed, ten wounded and twenty-one missing. Pickets of this regiment were attacked about 5 A. M. July 1, 1863, by the advance of Heth's Confederate division.

The regiment engaged the enemy west of Semiuary Ridgo, with the brigade stubbornly contesting against great odds, until about 10:30 A. M. when it was relieved by the advance regiments of the First Corps. The dedicatory exercises were held on Wednesday forenoon, and were very interesting. The ladies of the Gettysburg Springs Hotel, where the veterans made their headquarters, had prepared a beautiful wreath of greens and flowers gathered on the field, and it was placed on the monument.

After the Grand Army Band of Gettysburg had played a selection, Colonel Wilham H. Benjamin, chairman of the monument committee, made the report which follows Sir. Prtsidcnt and Comrade: As chairman of your committee appointed some time since to which was assigned the duty of procuring and locating a suitablo emblem commemorating and per petuating the memory of the patriotism and deeds of valor in which you took so active a part, by which these associations are surrounded, the result you have all seen in the beautiful monument which stands on the ground occupied by you on that memorable morning of July 1st, 26 years ago, provided by the munificence of the state of New York. And to-day we have the honor to report the result of our labors, and thanking all for their patience and generous support ask that your committee be discharged. Following is the opening address of A.

H. Gates, of Lyons, the presiding officer Comrades: "The tide of years has flowed fast since the Eighth New York roda victoriously away from the Gettysburg of July, 1803. Since then nature, ever kind, has been weaving its grassy mantle over its many scars, and patriotism has reared its monuments to commemorate the heroism of those that participated in that turning tido of our nation's fortunes. It does not teem long as in retrospection we to-day look back to those scenes of battle that baptised these plains and hill sides with fire and blood. With all its scenes of woe and glory and the sorrow of our hearts is again opened to tho memory of our fallen comrades, as hi the morning light they lay with tho night dews and the death dews mmgUng together upon their fore heads.

We now come again after this lapse of years in the bright sunshine of peace to find our sister state in gloom and mourning, and the valley of Conemnugh in the throes of anguish over its unparalleled devasta tion. If peace has its victories it also has its sorrows as sad and disastrous as war. 4 'This reunion to such of you as were living actors in the bloody drama reaches beyond the mere measure of the poet's song or the orator's eloquence. It is beyond epic or ode. On this spot at its dedication the sainted Lincoln spoke words the most pa thetic and eloquent of his life.

The most cultured writers and scholars of our day have written and re -written its history, and our proudest orators have lavished upon it the wealth of their choicest eloquence, and since by the burial of Christ In Palestine it has made the Christian world regard that ground holy land, so by the national dedication of this spot where our fallen comrades sleep, make it the soldier's aud the patriot's Mecca. It is fitting that we should make our pilgrimage and reunion here. "It is fitting that military and civic splendor should vie in paying honor to its survivors, not as individuals for as such we shall soon have passed away and the mold of years may gather upon our memories as it undoubtedly will have done upon our tombstone, but the undying principles settled as to the nation's perpetuity will reach into the living ages and will forever stand forth as bright and historic as the marble shrines of Palestine. "I have often fancied that the mighty army of the dead that fell fighting had their reunions the same as the living and that in the recurring cycles their misty shadows might b8 seen marshaled in shadowy and bannered columns waiting for tho drum's roll or bugle blast or mingling again in battle's fray. Year by year we are drawing nearer to our final reunion when we shall, meat our old commanders, Grant, McClellan, Hancock, Sheridan and Custer, and we are glad to have lived to see the era of good will that is continually broadening between the North and tho South, as has been shown upon this and kindred fields, when old antagonists have again met recognizing but one country and one flag, and firing their peaceful volleys of flowers over comrade 'b graves and remembering with Christian charity tliat, under the sod and tho dew awaiting the judgment day under tho one the blue, under the other the gray.

'And now comrades I have too long delayed a duty to you and a pleasure to myself and will introduce our comrade, distinguished aa a soldier, jurist and states- The thirteenth annual commencement exercises of the Western New York Institute for Deaf Mutes, are in progress at the mstitute buildings on North St. Paul street. Ine programme yesterday afternoon consisted principally of class exercises. The class, which is the lowest, gave a recitation and pantomine this work was in charge of Miss Bradish. The "Clock Song" and Cobbler's Song were also rendered in spelling and pantomime, under the direction of Misses McGill and Bradish.

Miss McGill also presented exercises in speech by the and classes. The club swinging by the kindergarten girls, led by Miss Buck-Tfnd waa very pretty exercise. lhe Story of Michael Schwagler was told well and interpreted to the audience by Miss Sutherland. Miss Butterfield had charge of the A and classes who gave a very interesting exhibition of Kindergarten Speech Reading. The Seventh Grade class in Arithmetic, in charge of Miss Hodges, showed their skill in arithmetic, and the same grade read the XXII Psalm in concert, under the direction of Miss Hamilton.

Tn the evening the exercises were continued as follows Geography exercise, Eighth Grade, map drawing and explanations, in charge of Miss Wood Kindergarten Class, naming objects, spelling exercise, in charge of Miss Bradish calisthenic posturing by Kindergarten girls, in charge of Miss Buckland; Fifth Grade, questions in Civil Government, in charge of Miss Hodges; Story, Sarah Adams A Class Kindergarten, story recollection of books they have read Eighth Grade and High Class, reading of the Lord's Prayer in concert, under direction of Miss Hamilton. The exercises were quite well attended. Among those who were present were Dr. Cutler, of Adelbert College, and his wife and daughter. The exercises were very interesting, which was, of course, greatly due to the running explanations of the teachers who conducted them and Professor Westcr-velt.

The Professor explained that the deaf muto children at first did not learn to think in separate words, but when they give expressions to an idea the signs for the wholo of it constitute practictically oue word to them. Mr. Westervelt also sooke of the change in the manner of teaching propositions to the children. During yesterday a fair was conducted, owing to the breezy weather, in the main building of the institute. The following ladies had charge of the tables Kindergarten table, Miss H.

D. McGill fancy tables, Miss E. Conklin, Mrs. Prank Bishop, Mrs. Waterbury, Mrs.

S. A. Ellis, Miss Franc Seeley. Among the interesting features of the display at the tables was a salad bowl, which held rolled leaves, each containing a quotation from some author. People could guess upon the quotation enclosed in one of these, provided that upon failure a nickel be dropped in the treasury.

The tables were well patronized and quite a large sum was realized. The fair will be continued to-day, and lemonade and similar delicacies can be obtained by the visitor all tho proceeds being for the benefit of the institute. Among the features upon the programme for to-day is a graduating oration to be spoken by Edward Timmerman, who is absolutely deaf, but has been taught to articulate clearly and in a pleasing tone of voice since he became an inmate of the institute. Upon entering he could not speak at all. Beside, Mr.

Timmerman, James McUmber and James McCabe, members of tho third grade, and Charles Beutel, a member of the Seventh Grade, complete the terms of their appointments. At tho graduating exercises to-day Dr. S. A. Lattimore, president of the board of trustees, will present the diplomas.

Over 1 are now in attendance at the institute, which is crowded to its fullest capacity. It may not be generally known that the power of articulate speech is acquired by very many who are absolutely muto upon entering. About fl25 was cleared from the Miles Standish entertainment, and this sum, together with the proceeds of the fair, will be used to buy a Clark telescope. An Old Acquaintance Renewed. Frank Martineau hist evening directly after tho close of the performance of 4 Hearts of Oak at tho Academy, tendered a reception and banquet to James C.

Heme and other members of his company, at the Hotel Bartholomav. Kathrine C. Heme, Mr. Heme's wife, littlo Julia, their daughter, and Mrs. Frank Ilea.

Besides being a pleasant affair all around and highly enjoyed by all present, it was an especially fine opportunity for Mr. Martineau and Mr. Heme to renew an acquaintance and friendship which first began in Albany thirty-five years ago. When Mr. Martineau started out from that city in tho minstrelsy business Mr.

Heme started out in a different direction in another branch of the dramatic art, and though warm friends always, their paths have been divergent indeed the two gentlemen had not even seen each other for more than twenty years uutil this week. Wrestling on Horseback. To night at the New Opera House Greek George and Professor Watson will wrestle on horseback. Wrestling on horseback is a novelty in Rochester and the match which is a bona fide ono should be witnessed by a large assemblage. The horses used are not wooden horses as many people have supposed but are live horses from a stable.

Forty per cent, of the proceeds of the match will be donated for the benefit of the Johnstown sufferers. The match will be an eminently proper one for tho ladies to witness if they desire to see a first-class exhibition of fikill aud strength. The match will be the best eight falls out of fifteen Graico-Roman and if it is not finished in an hour and a will be finished on the floor. A Half Dollar Fee. County Clerk Oliver received a copy of an act of the Legislature yesterday morning, which provides that the county clerk shall keep a register of all the moneys directed by judgments, decrees or orders of the courts to be deposited with the county treasurer.

The act also provides that tho county clerk shall receive a fee of 50 cents for each such entry to be charged as a disbursement. The Alpha Zetas. The annual convention of the Alpha Zeta Society, will be held in this city on the 21st, instant. Appropriate exercises will be conducted at the rooms of the local chapter and a dinner will be enjoyed in the evening at Teall s. The only other chapter is at Schenectady and that will be represented.

Orders Promptly Filled in any Part of the City. the voice of battle, it was proclaimed to the civilized world that the thralldom of men must end that we in America were true to the freedom-loving spirit of our race that we were not faithless depositories of the greatest of human benedictions, a patient, orderly, self-restrained, universal liberty. 4 Our republic was born of noble deeds.

Those pioneers of American liberty who formed the high resolve and performed the daring deeds of the Revolution, left behind them a record of glory. But they knew only the mimicry of war. They read the story that moved their hearts by the dim I'ghts of history and tradition. It is not so with us. We bring to this festival the remembrance of an eventful period in our own fives.

As we engage in this exercise the experience of the near past rises up before us. Here in this place the history and doings of this or ganization to which we belong comes vividly back to us. We are identified again with the Eighth New York Cavalry, and we live over again tho day when we stood side by side in its ranks. It is amusing and almost grotesque now to recall our soldiery, when we first assembled at Rochester, mustered in, and set out to put down the rebellion. For the most part, officers and men, our principal apprehension was lest, the rebellion might be put down before we got there, and we have no part in it.

So we hastened on to Washington to make our first full campaign against the enemy, and we made it in the fall of 1861, tramping on foot through the mud of Camp Saldeu, in the District of Columbia, and watching the muskrats that infested the Chesapeake and Ohio canal between Washington and Harper's Ferry, to keep them from boring holes through the banks and letting the water out. For that duty we required no house, and we had none. The next spring the campaign of 1S62 opened wit.i much bustle and great show of vigor. We were attached to the army of General Banks, and sent into the Valley of the Shenandoah, in Virginia. We wero not yet provided with horses, but we were equipped with that matchless firearm known as Hull's carbine.

We had but a few of those arms, and we soon becamo exceedingly thankful that there were no more of them.

We found that our position at Winchester was not a good one, and we immediately changed it. I do not now remember who was in command of us at that time.

That expedition wa nver Vi rrln enough for one day, and wore withdrawn from the fiold to a safe camp at the Riley House, in Maryland. There we lay nearly all summer, inactive.
