Centennial Day Service at Appleton Chapel.

The service in Appleton Chapel yesterday morning in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of the first inauguration of Washington as president of the United States, was one of the most interesting that has been held in the Chapel for a long time. An unusually large congregation attended, every seat in the house being occupied.

Rev. William Lawrence conducted a brief but impressive service of worship, after which Justin Winsor, librarian of the University, delivered an appropriate historicol address. This address was a model of its kind, the latter half of it being especially admirable, Seldom is an address heard in which the thought is so compact, and so clearly and forcibly expressed. In fifteen minutes Mr. Winsor covered the ground which a great many orators would have spent two hours in travering, and he left a clearly defined impression of what the character of Washington has meant to him upon the minds of all.

The pleasure of the service was greatly enhanced by the singing of the choir. The first anthem, for male voices only, was rendered in an especially effective manner.
