a1A dispatch had been received here, on Saturday
afternoon, that the Regiment, on its way to Chi
cage, would stop in our city for an hour and a
half to partake of dinner in the city park
This arrangement was consented to by ColStark-
weather, out of compliment to the "Parll City
Greys,' Company G. and to the active patriot,
ism that las characterized the Kenosha ladies,
since the first call by the President for volunteers
collation. that might have tempted an epicuro,
was accordingly, spontaneously prepared by our
citizens, in the park and arranged upon tempo
rary tables in profused quantities
At about 3 O'Clock z. NJ. our citizens had turn.
ed out almost en- masse in the vicinity of Prairie
Avenue, where it was understood the cars would
STOP to welcome the Regiment to our beautiful
Park City. at half past three the train, consist
ing Of 10 passenger cars and several bag
gage and freight cars drawn by two engines,
arrived. The Regiment was soon formed and was
received by the kenosha Union Guards, and es
corted down Prairie Avenue to the Park Tho
Avenue was lined all the way by mon, women and
Regiment. The Regiment made a splendid APP
pearaace. Their uniforms are all alike, frock
coat and pants Of u dark gray cloth, with fatigue
caps of the same. in the march to the Park, the
Regiment was proceeded by the fine RegimentaI
band, q. r. Leavitt, leader, that discoursed most
eloquent and stirring music. In the several evo-
lutions performed in the march, the Regiment dis
played the most thorough and perfect drill that
cannot fail to give it an honorable position in the
army.
At the Park, the Regiment was received by the
Union Cadets and Citizens corps, who were ready
to disburse the bounles Of the grooming tables
The excellence, quantity, and variety of the re.
past prepared on so short notice gave new eyi.
dence Of the energy and activity as well as liber-
alty of the Kenosha ladies, in every good and no.
bic work Soldiers and officers went 10 work with
an appetite and will, on TIE good things prepar-
ed. quantity of Ale and Lager Beer had been
prepared, but Col Starkweather, in his stontorian
voice that rang all over the Park, recommended
all to abstain from drinking it, ont Of respect to
the day, and to the credit of tho LIST Regiment the
recommendation was observed. Company c.
Park City Greys, CaptMcYean-was fairly over
run with visitors, and overwhelmed with atten.
tions Every member of the company had friends
and relations striving TO assist, and to have a few
parting words, and we fear they did the poorest
service OF all the Regiment, the eatables but we
will vouch that it was the last time and place
where they will be behind their comrades at the
work in hand.
After full justice had been done to the repast,
and every empty nook III a thousand knapsacks
had been filled, the tables were still not entirely
cleared. After oil had satisfied themselves, some
of the heartiest cheers We have heard for a long
time, went up, from the whole regiment-three
and tiger for the ladies of Kenosha three for the
Park City and her citizens. The order was then
given to march, and a. the Regiment marched out
| OF tho Park, three hearty cheers were given by
the citizens for the Regiment. A little before six,
/ cur guests-Wisconsin's pride-went aboar d, and
the cars moved oft, mid good byes, good wishes,
and cheers for the Park City Greys.
