The Governor of Rhode Island and his staff were present; the officers of the state of Rhode Island; the members of the Rhode Island legislature, and the famous Providence Light Artillery. Also Governor Dennison of Ohio, and his staff were present. And many relatives and descendants of Commodore Perry, and many surviving soldiers of the War of 1812, were the guests of the city of Cleveland for the auspi- cious occasion. There were two or three who had been with Perry in his engagement. One of th...ese was Dr. Usher Parsons, the surgeon of the flagship. He made an address to the assembled multitude, describing the scenes on board the Lawrence during and after the fierce conflict. To this inauguration of the Perry statue the people flocked from every nearby town and hamlet. They came in every conceivable kind of conveyance. In 1860 the population of Cleveland was only 43, 417. And for this celebration there were 100, 000 visitors in Cleveland! The account reads like a fairytale. "For two or three days previous the railroads had been bringing in large trains loaded down with people to attend the great celebration * * * The crowds poured in at such a rate that it seemed as if there would be no room left for the crowds that were to arrive on Monday.
