Excerpt from The Two Hundred and Forty Ninth Annual Record of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, 1886-1887: Sermon At the depot, everything betokened the departure of a military company from the city; and had it not been that thoughts of war were then far from the minds of American citizens, and that the different colors and styles of uniforms indicated to a casual observer that many corps must be represented, one might easily have imagined that a Massachusetts regiment, with more than the ordinary proportion of men of mature years, was departing for the scene of conflict. The arrangements here were in charge of Lieut. E. A. Messenger, of the Committee of Arrangements, as assistants to whom Lieut. William P. Jones and Edward E. Allen had been specially detailed, and every thing was admirably carried out. The ladies who had previously ar rived had, when the company reached the depot, been escorted to seats in the cars provided for their accommodation; the baggage had been carted from the armory, and was being rapidly stowed away in safety; and when the members of the company had boarded the train, which was done expeditiously and without confusion, everything was ready, and the prompt departure of the special rested entirely with the railroad officials. A number of members who, while desirous of taking part in the excursion, did not wish to don their uniforms and parade with the company, joined the party at this point. At A. 3l, within one minute of schedule time, the special train, which consisted Of eight passenger cars, three of them Pullmans, and a bag gage car, pulled out of the depot, and the journey was begun.
