Flag Day, 1894.
32
June 14, 1805, the Society held its second anniversary of Flag Day at City Park, Denver. This proved to be the most enthusiastic demonstra- tion of its kind ever witnessed in Denver. It was the 118th anniversary of the adoption by the Continental Congress of the stars and stripes as our national emblem. Fully 20,000 children walked in procession beneath the folds of "Old Glory," each carrying a flag. It was computed that 50,000 of Denver's citizens assembled in the park to do honor to the occasion. The celebration was held jointly with the Daughters of the Revolution and the Arapahoe County Sunday School Association. The Roman Catholic, Hebrew and colored Sunday Schools heartily joined in the celebration. It is but just to record that great credit must be awarded to Mr. Ralph Voorhees, chairman of the committee, for his untiring effort in making this celebration a complete success. It was a day long to be remembered, especially by the children of the city.
"America," 1895.
Prior to this and in March, 1895, Mr. Ralph Voorhees received from Mr. Samuel Francis Smith, the author of the hymn, "America," a fine autograph copy of this hymn written March 13, 1895, the original of which was composed and written in February, 1832. This copy is a valued treasure of the Society, and withal timely, as the celebrated author died November 16, 1895, at the age of eighty-seven. This autograph copy has been stereotyped and copies were liberally distributed at our Flag Day celebration.
"While through the land his strains resound, What added fame can love impart To his, who touched the string that found Its echoes in a nation's heart!"
Since then the Society has in like manner celebrated Flag Day on June 14 at the City Park, Denver, and with great success. It has. through the Society's efforts. become a day to which the children of the city look forward with pleasure, and they enjoy it thoroughly. All parents and children of whatsoever faith or color are cordially invited to join with us in doing honor to the flag of our common country by their presence at the park.
February 22, 1896, in the evening, at the Brown Palace Hotel. the Society tendered a notable entertainment to its members and to the Daughters of the Revolution. A principal feature was the presentation to the Society by our retiring president. Hon. James Benton Grant, of a magnificent silken Society banner, borne by an oaken staff and sur- mounted by a golden eagle. The presentation speech in behalf of the donor was by Henry Myron Blackmer of Colorado Springs, and the banner was accepted on behalf of the Society in an appropriate speech by William Henry Bryant. The music, speeches and social entertainment were all of a high order, and not soon to be forgotten by those present.

Later Mr. Butler presented the Society with a fine steel plate engraving of the Battle of Bunker Hill.

May 14, 1898, the occasion being the departure of the First Regiment Honors to Col- Colorado Volunteers for the Philippines, the Society, in honor of the orado Soldiers, regiment, erected on the capitol grounds a large flag staff and attached 1898. a fine American flag, which was kept flying during the absence of the regiment. Whenever, from time to time, news was received of the death of any member of the regiment. the Society placed on the flag-staff a memorial brazen tablet containing the name of the soldier and the date of his death. Forty-six names have thus from time to time been placed on this roll of honor.

Flag Presenta- May 14, 1898, the Society presented to the First Regiment. Colorado tion Colorado Volunteers, a handsome silk flag. bearing on its folds the words. "1st Regt. Volunteers, 1898. Colorado Inf. Volunteers." and on its staff the words, "Presented by the Colorado Society Sons of the Revolution." The presentation took place on the capitol grounds, Denver, amid a vast concourse of people, the Regiment, about to leave for the Philippines, being present. The pre- sentation speech was by Vice-President Joel F. Vaile, and the flag was received in behalf of the Regiment in an appropriate speech by its Colonel, Irving Hale, who was afterwards created Brigadier-General. In the course of his address these words, which received their fulfillment, were uttered by Mr. Vaile: "The Colorado Society, Sons of the Revolution, presents you this emblem of your country's honor and strength. We expect to see it again, upon your return. To the physical eye its colors may not then appear so brilliant as now. It may show the rents and scars of battle. But we expect to see it radiant with a record of great deeds, bravely done by noble men." We did indeed see this flag again, or rather a remnant of it, when the Regiment returned and proudly marched through the streets of Denver on the 14th day of September, 1899, with this tattered emblem borne aloft at its head. The flag was torn by the enemy's shot and shell. But few stars were left and the imagination must supply many of the stripes. It received its baptism of fire in the Philippines. In every battle and skirmish in which the Regi- ment was engaged, and they were many, this flag appeared at the head of the column. When the Regiment, on its return, landed in this country and marched through the streets of San Francisco, the ovation given to this flag by the people along the line of march was such as has been rarely, if ever, witnessed. New and unsoiled flags of other regiments

were hardly noticed, while this ragged remnant was cheered to the echo. A second ovation of like nature was accorded the flag when the Regiment reached Denver, where a special detail of police was necessary to guard its tattered folds from patriotic vandalism. This was the first American flag raised within the limits of Manila. The following letter from Brigadier-General Hale speaks for itself:
Colorado September 10th, 1879.

The bearer of this flag, from the time it left Denver until the remnant of it was returned, was Richard Holmes, nearly seven feet in height and straight as an arrow. He many times escaped death as by a miracle. The return and presentation to the State of this tattered ensign was a most thrilling spectacle. It remains in the office of the Adjutant-General, inclosed in a glass case.

On Sunday afternoon, September 17. 1899. thousands of Denver's patriotic citizens gathered on the State capitol grounds to take part in the memorial services in honor of those soldiers who laid down their lives in the Philippines.

Society.
April 18. 19 and 20, 1899. the General Society, on invitation of the Colorado Society, held its third Triennial Meeting in Denver. On the 18th the guests were given a carriage ride through the principal business and residence portions of the city and to the Omaha and Grant Smelter. In the evening the Daughters of the Revolution gave a reception to the Colorado Society and guests at the house of Governor Charles S. Thomas, which was a great success and largely attended.
April 19, 1899, the General Society held its regular Triennial business meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel. In the evening a banquet in the ordinary of the hotel was tendered by the Colorado Society to the visiting delegates. Of the menu it need only be said that it was worthy of the Colorado Society. The large dining hall was handsomely decorated with flags, bunting and flowers. Joel F. Vaile. Vice-President of the Colorado

Society, presided at this most distinguished assemblage, and acted as toast-master. The addresses in response to toasts were most eloquent and entertaining, and listened to with rapt attention.
April 20, 1899, the Colorado Society tendered to the visiting delegates a railway trip by special train to Silver Plume and around the "Loop," of which nearly all availed themselves.
Everything connected with the entertainment of the guests seemed to be a success, and the Colorado Society received from its visitors many expressions of gratitude for the pleasure given them.
Beginning in 1892 with nineteen members. the present roster is one Conclusion. hundred and seventy, a very satisfactory increase. The Society con- tinues to grow rapidly, and it is believed that large additions will yet be made to its membership. By its works it has amply demonstrated its right to live and to enjoy the favor of all right-thinking people. While a spirit of patriotism and a high regard for the memory of our honored ancestors shall continue, so long this Society will exist and flourish. When these sentiments die, there will be no place for this, or any other society.
