Caston spoke of George Washn as~the man of reality. Not Washington of cherry tree fame e strapping husky -lad credited being able to throw a silver dolross the Potomac or the Washi in a date-devil prank rode his brother's famous thoroughbred the river, thus rendering the unfit for future fox hunting aces. No, Rev. paston did not upon the myths of Washington scribed in so many histories, speaking of Washington as the Rev. Caston snid that, like LinWashington had never seen in)f a university. He is credited never having studied grammar, igh he doubted that accredited as the state papers-of Washingcore masterpieces of rhetoric logic. His farewell address s as one of the finest speeches nerican history, equalling that renin's Gettysburg address. It town, said the speaker, that ington studied or read considern-iorical books and had studied e geometry. laps the njost salient point h. out by the speaker regardit i arly life of Washington, was a that as a boy Washington ) ?-;ty much of a dare-devil, a a!io liked1 to play as many s as the modern fr<?shman in ) school. It was because of his f boyish pranks, that LawWashington had his young sr rent off on a mission of sur-., r ri? ?u? ?:1Jcrr.ccc tvhich d the greatest of all his ex(i s, It was that mission in beef Tx}-d Fairfax that fitted r cton for the work of the fur. . the liberation of his country.! ' asion then went on to stress j ? 'its that brought out the true j i! of Washington, such as his self control, .his dislike for i . illustrating that during one; ' the camp of his troops, and U complaints that the soldiers a-d using oaths much to the t f those living near the camp, 1 all his officers and request\ Impress upon the men in their f c-mmands to cease swearing. .a.?ton then went on to inen?'.v Washington respected thea ' f others, never attempting to the feelings of any one. His >' was emphasized, also his country and his inferest in urch. In conclusion Rev. Cbbid that Washington was a man ever lost faith in his fellow Wmen, one of the greatest as: all. he conclusion Rev. Caston was nd deservingly applauded fot dress was one of unusual inHe presented Washington as a man much after the heart iy ^ ai?denites, who {iked horses i and a good fox chase. He did not say whether he thought Washington would enjoy drag hunts, but if there were no foxes it is expected that George would have been out bright and early to follow the hounds, knowing he was getting a good ride. Children from the grammar schools gave two dances. The first whs a sailors horn-pipe. A dozen or more youngsters dressed in white sailor costumes and looking as if they had been taken out of the operetta "Pinafore," pranced merrily and lightly about the stage to some tuneful music. There was no Dick Deadeye, who fcured td.c cut. nv sweet Little Buttercup to mix up the babies. The following group of children, dressed like the members of a crew from ott one ot Captain Mas pirate ships, danced some of the old dances so frequently seen by the fisher-folk.s of Sicily. These youngsters wore bandanas of red, blue, orange and bright yellow. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful and natural soprano voice of Miss Charlotte Salmond. Miss Salmond sang two "numbers, /'Annie Laurie" and "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes." Here is a young woman with a beautiful and healthy natural voice. It is a voice that has much promise, owing to the fact that the singer is young. It is a voice that would stand training and was the opinion of some of the visitors present that Misrf Salmon could reach a high place in vocal circles, as she is naturally endowed with a voice of much natural beauty and exceedingly high range. It would have been better had she memorized her songs, so she could have faced her audience rather than standing to the side. The Arnold brothers closed the program. Their guitar selections were highly enjoyed. The last number "Up Jumped the Devil", brought much amusement to those present. All in all the evening was one Nuch as George Washington himself would have enjoyed, and more to had the, punch been a wee bit stronger. ' Ft Bragg Polo Team To Play Camden i Fort Bragg, N.
