writer by the late Joshua Seward:

In s short time many of the business
and professional men of the city were
bis friends and patrons. Dnuiel Web
ster, then in tbo fullness of his mas
terly manhood, was h(s particular
friend and most favored patroh. One
year Webster early engaged to deliver
the Fourth of July oration In the city.
A public procession was then an Im
portant feature of the celebration, and
the orator of the day was tbo chief
person of distinction in the parade. In
those days there were no four wheeled
vehicles for convenience or for pleas
ure. A chaise was the proper carriage
for gentlemen to use. Webster was
popular and proud as popular. He saw
no ebaiao in the city ah good as ho de
sired to appear In on that important
occasion, and thereforo lie ordered one
to tie built by the principal carriage
at her carriage 1 maker of the city (Sargent. I think It
wan), to be ready for use on that day.
In tlic morning of tin* Fourth he ap-
Mra. Baker, wife of Rev. R. E. Baker.: peared at Reward's stable office and
requested Seward to go-to the carriage
shop ami get the chaise ho had ordered.
Howard harnessed a borso and went to
