Long before it reached Simpson tabernacle, large crowds of people had been pouring into that spacious church, tue auditorium having been reserved exclusively lor the members of the Grand Army, and when tho galleries were filled to overcrowding, further access was refused to the tabernacle. The interior waa oue mass of stars and stripes, and ttie rostrum waa loaded with flowers.

It took quite a wtiile before all the eeata in tbe auditorium were tilled, but as aoon aa this was done, the impressive exercises were inaugurated by bugle calls by Comrade 0. I'iiouiua Tbe Lorelei club, composed of Elizabeth ti. Kimball, Mary L. Young, Alice It. Eaton ond-Edith Gardner sang Lead Kindly Light.

Galpiu'e voice ia very clear, and ahe waa beard without any difficulty whatever throughout the large tabernacle. She is a very goud speaker, and her addreas was co much relished that she was many times forced to pause because of tbe applause, which ahe teceived at telling paasagea. Mra.

Galpin said: A year ago I was in a bleak Michigan village. Tbe timid wild flowers had scarcely budded the plants of tbe gardens blossomed sparingly, and each struggling flower waa watched with anxious solicitude. The single cluster of bloom on the potted geranium, tbe lonely calla lily, even the Bad-colored leaves of tbe foliage planta which under our akiea aeeume the huea of flame, were gathered together to be again co placed tbat tbe soldiers' graves on the bleak hillside might not aeem to be forgotten. To my California eyes the scanty supply of bloom, tbe dull colore aoemed patbetic, pitiful almost. Yet the spirit ol aelfaacritice, of reverence aud of patriotism was none tbe less manliest than in our own lavish florai od'eringa todai, aa those old placed a (lower on each grace-grown mound saying, "This I do in memory of tbe deeds that were dune," and those younger placed a blossom at each simple headstone, saying, "This Ido in reverence for tbem tbat are dead, though their deeds 1 do not remember." A generation bas ariseu since tbe war who have no memories of the struggle.

How little tbe boye of 'tiu knew themselves! Did they love their country? They perhaps nad never asked themselves that question. They could not have answered it if they had. The passive months moved on aimlessly, aa do tbe months of most young men.

Suddenly tbey realized tbat their country waa in danger. Dissolution, ruin and disgrace threatened it. Then they knew by a divine awakening that love of country waa greater than love of parent, brother, child or than iove of life iteelf; that iove of country includes all other loves. How true tbey were to thia great love, the years that followed atteat. How much they sacrificed for it, the graves you have today strewn LOS ANGELES HERALD, MORNING, MAY 31.

1894. with roses and lilies bear witness, bat not these graves alone. Look at the veterans before forms too early bent, their hair too early gray, their faces writ with the hieroglyph of suffering, bear more eloquent testimony to those of us who will read aright. While we pay our tribute of respect to tbe heroes dead, let us not forget tbe heroes living, whose lives were as ireely offered, and have been as ireely e'veu for their country's good, although not yielded up in one supreme moment. And bow, boys of '95, with the great white future before you, longing for battles to fight, tor victories to win, are you jealous for the sake of the possible hero within you, of the opportunities for heroism which were offered the boys of '017 Are you saying to yourselves: "All the battles are fought; all opportunities for heroism bave Do you wish, with a young man I know, "tbat there was something for a fellow to go in for nowadays?" Know thia of a truth, ye potential heroes, it is not great men's deaths but great men's lives, that have made our country glorious; tbe bloodless rather than the bloody battles, tbat have made it truly great.

The heorism of so-called great deeds needs little emphasis, hut the heroism of the greater deeds men call little, cannot too strongly be made clear. Truth to the small fidelities, cheer under straining of burdens of weariness or pain, privation or disappointments, faithfulness to the unpopular conviction requires a greater and a rarer courage than that which holds a man before a cannon's mouth. Do not mourn because all the great things were done before you were. born. The beet has not been, but is to be.

Never were there greater opportunities for achievement than now. Our country is still in the infancy of ita development; acience has but begun to reveal ita wonders; unaolved problems of humanity cry ont for solution; wrong and Buffering wage deadly war, and the cry goes out for "one hundred thoueand more" to meet them in battle to the death the public Bcboola are to be defended againat their active foea, and the education of the whole people to be accomplished; there are great wronga in partiaan politics to be righted there are tremendous battles between labor and capital to be fought. God grant that tbey may be bloodless battles! Intemperance with ita awful allies is to be overthrown. There is a great conflict waging against war itself. Opportunities for beroiam passed! They are innumerable.

On to battle, ye boya of '94, aud let ttiis be your war cry We'll make our country as great aB it ia big." It was given tbe heroes who sleep on tbe hill top yonder, kissed by the sunabine and caressed by the sea breeze, to die for our dear motheiland. Remember there ia given you the much more trying duty of living for her. God grant tbat you may do your part aa heroically and aa well aa tbey did tbelra The boys of '7ti established thia government and freed it from old world control; the boya of 'til preserved ua a nation aud broke the chains of the slave, so that today we stand a free people. And aa freedom ia echoed aud re-echoed in your hearts, ye of 1894, from the dying lipa of the heroea who bave given ua tbia liberty, will yon not, "having your loins girt about with truth, aud having ou tbe breaatplate of rigbteouaneea," enlist for a new conflict, aud never desert and never ask lor discharge until the American is not only a free man, but a noble, wise, temperate, honest, God fearing man, in whose heart shall reign aud in wboee face shall be pictured, his kinahip witb tbe Maker and Ruler of the nniveree. After the applauae had died away tbe Lorelei club, in tbe abeeuee of Mrs.

Mo dini Wood, again Bang deligbltully, 'and President of tne Day Jonee made some appropriate remarks. Gen. A. Pierce, the orator of the day, waa then introduced, who took for theme Monumental Dave, or in other worda, the innate desire of humanity to preaerve or commemorate by monuments the atory of evente tbat had paeaed. He dwelt on the aucienty of tbe custom, of which the Sanekrit writers, eeveral thouaand years ago, have kept record.

The impulse to hoi.l alive tbe atory of humanity by the erection of monuments of atone, iron und other metala is not confined to clime or time. Tbe of Egypt, tbe temples of India, tbe exhumed cities of the new continent, the masonry of China, all these are fingeiboarda on tbe field oi time, pointing eloquently, if silently, to deeda of beroiam which happened centuries ago. Even thus has Nature ita "monumental daya." The track of tbe glacier, the impriaoned shell, tbe coalhed tbat now give back to ua tbe buried (ems of millions of years ago. all these to us are wonderful lessons by which the earth's ancient history stands levealed. By grand monuments also ia the history of the church made plain to ua.

And thus also around the monumental days of history are clustered the garlands of eacred and glorious memo.v by which humanity recorda tbe illuatiious deeda of toe father to instill into the miudof the eon the lessons taught by those deeda. The speaker then reverted to the heroic atrugglea of the revolution and tbo rebellion, and concluded hia remarks with a reference to Memorial day, which haa been consecrated by the love and revereuce ol sixty million people. ifter more vocal music by tbe Lorelei club, a beuediction by Comrade Kuighten, tbe exercises came to a close with tapa by Bugler Thomas.

The attendance, while not as large as at some previous field days, was made up of a jolly crowd of about 400.

The bleachers were well filled, and there was quite a number of ladies in tbe grand stand. The programme had been very wisely shortened over previous field days, and all the events were finished by 5:15 o'clock. There is no reason why a half hoar could not have been saved from this time bad tbe races started at tbe advertised time, 1:30 o'clock but it was 2 o'clock when the boys in the opening event came to tbe scratch. The crowd was exceedingly good natured and enjoyed tbe interesting programme very much. Some of the bicycle racea were exciting, and although no recorda were broken, it was one of the most attractive field uaya the club has held.

B. Gard and E. L. De Blugeot. There was a false etart, Gard falling in the ten-yard limit.

The boys got away at the second attempt, however, and ran a very pretty race, that aroused the enthueiaem of tbe bleachers. They were all bunched together for tbe hrst three laps, but De Blugeot fell out. and iv tbe laat lap Griffin, Taylor and Gard came together down tbe atretch, witb Griffin'a legs working bim gradually to the front, and Moaa way behind. Tbey paaaed tne tiniah pretty cloee together. The men came in, Griffin first, Taylor second and Gard third.

A protest waa entered by Gard against Griffin, on the ground that he was not entitled to enter in the maiden class, as be rode in the fiesta racee. But the judgea decided ttiat those racea were not recognized and Griffin would not be barred unless their decision ehould be reversed on appeal. Griffin's time wbb 2:10 flat. C. V.

There waa a consultation of tbe judges, aud they fiuall decided that Taylor had won and that Ulbricht wae entitled to first place.

Taylor'e time was 1 in. W. J. Blieaner and M. E.

Riley were pitted against eaeb other for the running broad jump, and Bliesner made the winning jump of 17 feet 10 inches, although in another try afterwarda he made over 18 feet. Ulbricht played in hard luck again in the one-mile biocle race, 2:40 class. Ttie men who came to the scratch were Bundy, Griffin and Ulbricht. It was an interesting race, aud Griffin tried hard to keep up ttie hot pace set lor him, but tbe mile was too much for bim. He fell behind gradual.v, and Bundy won the race in 2:274, Ulbricht being close up as they went through the tape.

J. Ryan, F. L. Morrill, W. F.

Brosmer and Howard were contestants in the 410-yard dash, aud it was thought Howard would win, but he could not reach Ryan as the latter finished in 55 seconds, with Morrill tuird and Brosmer wav behind. The most amusing event of the day was the very unusual spectacle of a mile bicycle race by the entries were Wong Wong Gouie, Charlie Wong Foot aud Jauiej Wong. Tbey were intensely interested in tbe race themselves, aud appeared in full bicycle costume. Tliey were greeted with applause, and contributed largely to the interest of the programme.

The men kept close together strung out like a string of runners for three laps, tjrat Taylor aud then Griffin forging ahead. Bundy went off the track into the weeds aud was foiced to drop out. On the etietch Griffin, with bis slim lojh working like piston rods drew away from the rest, and finished the winner by a neck over Taylor, Ulbricht third, in 2:37. Much interest was aroused in the pole vault. L.
