Eeunioa Of the 1st. 10th and 2pth Rcgt-


The annual reunion Of these veteran Tesi-
ments, which our readers may remember are
considered as one organization, took place at
Peaks Island yesterday. About one hundred
and thirty of the members were present and
many were accompanied by their ladies.
This Association tolerates but few formali-
ties hence the time was taken up in sports
and in eating the bountiful dinner and clam
bake which all pronounced to be most excel
lent.
The proposition to have the next reunion iii
Portland (the islands) was ordered by hearty
aye" from everybody.
The sense of the meeting was taken on the
invitation to join all the Maine Regiments IN
Grand Reunion of Maine Soldiers IN 1911 az
Portland. At first the majority seemed opposed
to giving up their own joyful celebration Tor
an uncertainty, but at last the executive COM
mttee was instructed TO favor the movement.
A very laughable chapter of chronicles from
the men of Chaplain Webster and poem by
his good lady were read by Capt. King, and
were greeted with rousng cheers.
Some excellent practice was shown by the
auger brigade, but the general disposition of
those present was to gather in knots and talk
over old times.
Major Gould reported that his history was
completed and ready for the press as soon as
the required number of subscribers was guar
anteed. All came forward thereupon and sub
scribed and pledged themselves 70 do their ut
most for the success of this work, in which
all feel deep interest, and the regiment may
well feel proud of the forthcoming history, for
the officers and others who have read the man
uscript say that it is the most reliable, interest
ing and complete regimentai history yet writ
ten. Some twenty or more beautiful litho-
graph engravings of the officers, which number
will be increased, were shown; these have been
engraved expressly for the work, and will add
to the value of the book.
The following officers were chosen for the
coming year: President, Gen. George l.. Beal
Vice Presidents Gen. George H. Nye, Colonel
Charles s. Emerson, Major Charles Walker,
Maj. Almon G. Pray and DR.. Josiah f. Day;
Quartermaster, Charles f. King; Commissa-
ry, William o. Fox; Chaplain, Rev. Charles
Fl. Webster; Orator. Rev. Leon ard G. Jordan;
Historian, Maj. John M. Gould; Secretary and
Treasurer, Major John M. Gould; Executive
Committee, Majs. VIM. p Jordan, Granville
Blake and Capt. Lorenzo D. Stacy.
Gen. Beal having requested that rotation in
Office be obser 1ed, Gen. Nye was elected Pres
dent.
