Tribute to Riley's Memory.

Greenfield. —On the hanks of Brandy creek, overlooking “The Ole Swimmin’ Hole” which he made famous, lifetime friends paid tribute to the memory of James Whitcomb Riley, Hoosier poet. A large stage was erected on the banks of the creek, hills of the east forming a natural amphitheater. Arrangements for the celebration were being made when the poet died and the observers now were in the nature of a memorial.
