tions began to gather at historic St. John's
Church. The ladies, members of Oakwood
and Hollywood and Hebrew Memorial as
sociations, also gathered at the chapel. pre
paratory to moving to Oakwood ccmetery,
where the memorial exercises were held.
It was just half-after 4 o'clock when the
order to "fall in" was given and veterans
who wore the Gray, nearly two score
years ago, their sons, and many others,
marched to the sound of muftled drum to
the last resting place of the iioble, fallen
b'rave, to do honor to their valor and pay
tribute to their memory.
The procession was formed at Twenty
tifth and Broad Streets in the following
order:

AT THE CEMETERY.
Just as the procession reached the gates
at the eemetery they were joined by a
detachment of seventy veterans under com
mand of Colonel Charles P. Bigger, from
the Lee Camp Soldiers' Home.
The procession then passed into the eeme?
tery, and at the Soldiers' Monument the
exercises were held. The musical p.ro
gramme was in charge of Captain Frank
Cunningham. and tho Richmond High
School chorus, seventy voices, under diree
tion of Prof. G. Curtis Munsori, led the
singing. The exercises were formally
opened by the singing of the hymn. "Dread
Jehovah, God of Nations," after which
Rev. A. H. Kippan, pastor of the Third
Presbytefian Church. Icd in prayer.
Prof. James C. Harwood then made an
address. introducing Hon. A. J. Montague,
Attorney-General of Virginia, the orator
of the occasion. Mr. Montague said, in
part:
"We come not to consider constitutional
doctrines, neither do we gather to discuss
questions of State. but to tell the chlldren
of the faith of their fathers? a faith as
profound and as everiasting as the hills;
a faith as lurhinous as the light of day.
No soldiers as those who wore the gray
were ever so gallant and no soldier ever
knew so well the cause for which he
fought so heroically. There was no trea
son in. no stain on the heart of a single
one. Their faith was stainless; their pa
triotism unsullied. The men in the ranks
were men of intclligence and of patriotism.
Their leaders were geniuses and patriuts.
For courage, for genius, for pura, spotless.
private lives, for virtue, honesty and 110
bility. we need but point to Lee. to Jack?
son. to Johnstori. to .1. E. B. Stuart. whose
memories wlll iive forever, Character,
and on!y character, ever made or ever
wlll make a ctvillzatioo-." .
The exercises were eoneluded by t'r\f
singing of "Blest Be the Tie that Binds"
and the pronouhc'ng of the benediction by
Rev. R. II. Bennctt.
At the e'eremonfes yesterday the mem?
bers of Company B placed a wreath on
the grave of Mr. Arthur Leslie Everett,
one of the men who was kllled by tlie
falling of the traveller engaged in the
Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina con
struction work. at Sixteenth and Main
Streets, a short time ago.
