“The day opened a little threatening (but) the sun came out bright later,” and soon “the weather was all that one could wish.” A crowd of about 9,000 people gathered for what the Quincy Daily Whig called, “the most auspicious general public celebration held in this city since the memorable dedication of the Illinois Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home … in 1886.”
