Dea. D. L. Bingham was president of the day. The citizens generally joined heartily in the celebration, with the exception of a few of the "outs, " who were conspicuous by their absence, enjoying the day by themselves as best they could, and no doubt berating the administration and bewailing the degeneracy of the times. On at least three other occasions, once on " Pop- lar Field " and twice at " Lobster Cove, " the whole town, men and women, old and young, came to- gether on " Independence Day ..." for a general jollifi- cation, in which feasting, speech-making, toasts and games were indulged in to the heart's content. At these festivities, one learns with regret, rum flowed freely, as was the custom of those days; but the drinking habits of half a century and more ago were not so demoralizing as the liquor traffic of the pres- ent day. The modern " saloon, " with its progeny of evils, had not been spewed out of the mouth of the pit. Other feastings and junketings of a more select character took place occasionally.
