Within the short span of 50 years tts sentle slopes and placid plains have witnessed three scenes of great import running tho whole gamut of man threefold nature. Each scene has been unique and typical at it kind: first the battle, with its almost unexampled display of the physical powers of man; then the grat h'art and mind of Abraham Lincoln, bodied forth in his wonderful address delivered here: and iast.

Miffhttf Clash of Arm. Fifty years aso today there began here one of those conflicts between man and man. marked by such exhibitions of valor, courage and aimost superhuman endurance, as to engrave itself upon the tablet of history, there to remain ever memorable.

Equal met equal; and in the domain of physical prowess all were worthy of medals of honor. The superiority was that of resources, not of individual strength or courage. So long as men love valor and worship heroes, the name of Gettysburg and those who fought there will be ever on their lips. Four months afterward the lie hi of Gettysburg inspired in the great mind and heart of Abraham Uncolnfhe most wonderful prose poem written. Its music literally rang round the world and sang in the hearis of men.

and will continue to sing in the blood of the son of men until Time itself shall be no more. And last, but by no means least, thia here upon the field of Gettysburg today. Thousands and tens of thousands of former foes here gathered together in brotherly union. You who first met upon this fi'-ld to vie with each other in doing hurt the one to the other, now meet here to outvie each other in deeds of kindness and friendship and love.

Normoyle estimated that 55,000 veterans would be in camp In Gettysburg tonight. Provision had been made for only 40.000. But the War Department is providing as rapidly as possible for the thousands of unexpected soldier arrivals. New tents are being put up in almost every part of the battlefield and tonight the entire supply is exhausted. The increase in the number of visiting veterans from what was expected will cost the state a pretty penny, but orders have been given to spare no pains.
