M, , on the steamer Mary Patten, had not arrived. They came half an hour later, 200 strong, with President Frederick Samuel Tallmadge at their head, flanked on either side by the Rev. Brockholst Morgan, and James M. Montgomery. The procession started up Main Street, and marched to Broadway, and thence to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, with the Marine Band at the head, the marines and regulars followe'd by the Fourth Separate Company of Yonkers, the Continental Drum Corps, guests in carriages. Sons of the Revolution, Sons of the Colonial Wars, Grand Army of the Republic Posts, Sons of Veterans, Military Cadets, Tarrytown Fire Department, and visiting Fire Companies. There were fully 2,000 men in line, and three times that number looked on.

" When the old redoubt on Battle Hill, in the Cemetery, was reached, a halt was made before the flag-draped monument. At a signal the flag was hauled away by the little grand-daughter of Captain Samuel Requa."

And still another picture of the day:

"The press is a great institution. It was through the influence of the Tarrytown Argue, and its patriotic editor, that the Patriots' Monument undertaking was brought to a successful and triumphant conclusion.

" Well, it was a grand day, and Tarrytown was as gay as the surrounding woods, with their wondrous autumnal tints. Business was at a standstill ; from every window flags were streaming, and the various stores were fairly hidden by the quantity of bunting displayed, here, there and everywhere. Grand Army men, Marines, small Cadets and larger Firemen, mounted Artillery and Infantry flashed before you in every quarter of the city, and I was proud to observe that the Fourth Separate Company of Yonkers was the observed of all observers. The gigantic form of Henry Bidder struck the beholders with as much awe as did Goliath of Gath the Israelites.
