Mr. W. A. Grow, of Swansboro, Ches?

carriai in the parade the flag that he
carried throughout the four years of
the war. The flag was hlue. with gilt

On the Grater Field.
Once upon the 'Crater field the nr
langement of troops began. Tho aim
was to place them Just where the South
, ern soldiers and. the enemy had been sta
i Honed when the groat prototype of tho
present battle was-fought.
A quantity of fireworks was placed be?
hind the Crater In the enemy's line to
represent tho explosion. Five companies
of the Seventieth Regiment and the Rich?
mond Blues, with two guns of the How?
itzers', weie stationed In the Carter itself.
On the far eft, on the hill where Wright's
battery was stationed during the real bat
tht. were several guns of 'the Norfolk
Light Artillery Bluos. Grimes' battery
was put in the position occupied by Da?
vidson's guns, on the Confederate right.
Tho seven companies of tho Seventieth
P.egiment, under Colonel Hlgglns, took
1 the position in the ravine in front of tho
Crater. They were about twenty feet
" behind the point where Mahone's men,
under General D. A. W?lslgor, actually
foimed. Thon, most Impressive scene!
the remnant of that gallant band, which
actually made the charge a generation
ago, was taken down Into tho ravlno and
made to form Hilf; of battle on the very
spot on which they stood a few hours
attor the terrific explosion on tho hill.
When the feeble old men had been mado
to "right dress" they silently uncovered
heads and their chaplain. Captain Thom
ao West, of Norfolk county, led in a brief
prayer. The moment was holy, and the
very heart beats of the old men could
! be heard. Many in tho face of the great
, danger of thai morning long ago, had
? dcubiless uttered a hasty prayer for
! mercy In the coming charge, and now,
two score years after, they were to pray
end charge on the same soil.
Following the invocation, Colonel Stew?
art delivered an eloquent address, which
was frequently punctuated with the gen?
uine "rebel yoll."
Colonel Stewart's Address.
Colonel Stewart said:

No wonder Mahone suid, "You must

No wonder Emmett Richardson shout?

No wonder all went forward, to do
