Another large contingent was given a rousing

farewell at Essig hall on June 27th.

Rev. McDougall called the assembly to order and stated briefly the purpose of the meeting, bringing in a little story to indicate how the boys were going to "sit on the Kaiser."

The first number was a song by the Bridgeport borne guards under the leadership of Ed. Morris, and the guards were called back and required to respond to an encore.

Mrs. Roy Harshman rendered a very appropriate solo, her selection being a patriotic song written especially for the occasion. Mrs. Harshman's singing is always enjoyable.

Rev. McDougall then introduced Judge Hurd, who spoke feelingly and sensibly to the boys who were about to go to camp, calling their attention to the fact that they were now about to do the things that entitled them to be called "men" in every sense of the word. As many of them had to go on the northbound train at 10:30. the proceedings were cut short and refreshments were served early 1>\ the members of the woman's club. Then a large crowd escorted the soldiers boys to the train and gazed after them in tears as the train pulled away from the depot. The crowd Was even larger than on Monday night, showing that our people do not weary of honoring our heroes. The following program was rendered :

Song by the audience, "America."

Maypole drill by twelve, little girls under the direction of Miss Oldershaw.

Address by E. M. Bigelow.
