This part of the exercises, as arranged, was fine and well rendered and we doubt if ever equaled before in Lowell on such an occasion. The singing by the Lowell chorus, recitation by the Misses Gladys Brown and Hattie Foster, and the speech of the day by Rev. Wozencraft was all well rendered and touching in effect as it brought back to the old soldiers and those old enough to re member the sad memories of that great sacrifice.
