NEW YORK. NOV. 25. – The descendants of the veterans of 1812 headed by Christopher R. Forbes, hoisted the American colors to the top of the flagstaff in the Battery park at sunrise this morning, evacuation day. This is the 112th anniversary of the evacuation, and Mr. Forbes is the great-grandson of the Van Arsdale who first hoisted the American ensign on the pole, as the British sailed out of the harbor. There were present at the ceremonies this morning members of the Anderson and Williams post, 394, G.A.R., and the Anderson Zouaves 62d regiment, New York volunteers. They acted as an escort to Mr. Forbes. Patriotic addresses, commemorative of the day, were made by Capt. Charles C. Morse, who is president of the Anderson Zouaves, and Comrade Charles B. Riker.
