she liave better order than pre
vailed last Saturday.
An extra police force had been
sworn in for the occasion, but
there was no need—not a breach
of good behavior was discovera
ble. One of these special police
was heard to remark after it was
all over: “It seems almost like
robbery to charge for our time—
there was nothing to do and we
have not earned anything.” This
was so dirterent from former ex
periences w’hen whisk}^ was pres
ent, that it becomes the most
forcible temperance lecture that
was ever deliv’ered in our county.
It certainly pays to have a “dry”
town.
No report of this great gather
ing would be complete which fail
ed to mention the moving spirit
in this great meeting. Hon. Wm.
E. Breese jr. conceived the idea
and put into its execution all the
vim and energy (jf his make-up.
It was he who circulated the sub
scription and I'aised the necessa
ry funds. It was his iniluence
which secured the speakers, tln^
band, the cooks, etc. Of course
he had able and willing lieuten
ants. and they are entitled to
their lull meed of praise for its
success, but he was the leader on
whose shoulders the success or
failure of the enter{>rise rested

on the tables and sometliing of a

plans for serving the crowd wei’e
properly laid but the weatlier
disarranged the plans, and oi)-
portunity took charge. However,
we heard no complaints—everv-
body ap[)eared determined to
make the best of it and not
gru mble.
But probably the most noted
feature of this great gathering
was the remarkable good order
which prevailed throughout. Not
a dro[)f)f whisky was in evid(^nce.
not a quarrel or row of any kind,
not a boiisterous manift^station of
anything but genuine pleasure
was heard anywhere in the vast
audience, or outside of it. Bi’c-
vard may in future have larger
gatherings, she may sfecure bet.
