6 CAMBRIDGE REVOLUTIONARY MEMORIAL.
large number of ladies and citizens, notwithstanding- the
unfavorable weather, which prevented the audience from
assembling upon the ground where the Monument is
placed.
The services of dedication consisted of Music by a choir,
under the direction of GEORGE FISHIER, Esq.; and Addresses
by Hon. H. R. HARDING, Mayor of tile city, and the Rev.
ALEXANDER MCKENZIE; — Rev. PLINY WOOD officiating as
Chaplain.
The first official step towards the erection of a Memorial
to those citizens who fell within the limits of the town on
the day of the battle of Lexington, was taken by Alderman
HORATIO G. PARKER, on the 14th of September last, who on
that day introduced the necessary order to the Board of
which he was a member. The order was adopted, without
dissent, by both branches of the Government.
These proceedings, it is believed, will be regarded as a
valuable contribution to the history of Cambridge.
