[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] interest was felt, and it was decided to hold a grand celebration at Tarrytown. With great propriety, the monument was first remod-eled. The original base was retained, but a bas-relief, depicting the capture, was inserted in one of its sides. The gravest one-like shaft was removed and a bronze statue (the gift of Mr. John Anderson, of Tarrytown), resting upon a neat pedestal, was substituted. This statue represents Paulding. The ceremonies, held on the 23d of Sep-tember, 1880, were presided over by the Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, of Yonkers, and the oration was by the Ron. Chauncey M. Depew. It was one of the most characteristic efforts of that distinguished son of our county. The crowd in attendance was estimated at seventy thousand. There was an imposing procession. General James W. Hasted, of Peekskill, acting as grand marshal. The inscriptions on the Tarrytown monument are as follows: [Inscription on the south side.~\ On this Spot, the 23d day of September, 1780, the Spy, Major John Andre, Adjutant General of the British Army, was cap-tured by John Paulding, David Williams and Isaac Van Wart, all natives of this County. History has told the rest.
