Tablets of stone will contribute their part, but the great nation itself is, and always will be, the best possible memento of those self-sacrificing Westchester County yeomen. It is an interesting circumstance, that the earthwork, which surrounds us and on which so many of you are now standing, was thrown up during the Revolution by these men themselves, so that they fabricated with their own hands the most distinguishing feature of the monument, which after the lapse of more than a century we are dedicating to their memory. These are the only fortifications still remaining intact, so far as we know, in this neighborhood. A large tract of •these surrounding grounds has been dedicated to public use, so that the redoubt is, fortunately, likely to be preserved in perpetuity. Our work to-day will contribute to that result."

S. Navy and Grand Commander John C. Shotts acted as reviewing officers, and so to Music Hall, where the literary exercises of the day took place, Hon. Noah Davis acting as President, with the following Vice-Presidents : Isaac M. Requa, Major R. E. Hopkins, J.
