The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1875-10-21

ihOFAuH iIOu one point 70 tuOtntr lfrespoc-
tive OF all commands from the officers of the
day. In the northern part OF the grounds
quite number Of tents were up, and the
regimental flags flung TO the breeze. In
many cases, however, there was not enough
Of the banner left to be unfurled.
The flags of the old 10th Indiana volun-
teer showed traces OF the war very plainly.
To one broken staff there was but q mere
tuft left. and as General Harrison held It In
his hands there soon gathered around it
eighty members of the old regiment, includ-
ing Lieut.. Col. Merrill, Captain Cox, Captain
Hartman, Captain Fisher and Chaplain A.
G. Allen. They formed a line and Gen. Har-
rison made them short speech, stating that
he was sincerely glad to see so many of his
old regiment present. Around many a war
worn flag was similar scene enacted, but
only in few, il any cases, were there so
many of one regiment unex pectedly brought
together.
THE CAMP ARRANGEMENTS.
THE DIVISIONS AS STATIONED on THE
GROUNDS.
The intention was to have formed the
camp into four divisions and have each
division organize, but as everyone seemed
to care more for a general walk through
camp, this object was more or less defeated.
1t was arranged to have those from the first,
second and third congressional districts,
make their headquarters In the north
be knewn as the first division.
They were to have organized and to have
some persons deputed to make outs roll, but
up to late hour last night this had not
been done, although the persons entrusted
with this duty are to make report this
morning. SO it was with each of the other
divisions. The roll, no doubt, will be made
out by this morning, and will be published
I'm substance tomorrow. Division No. 2, or
the fourth, fifth and sixth congressional dis
tricts, had Its headquarters in the direct
northern part of the grounds. Division No. 8,
or the seventh, eighth and ninth districts,
was located Just to the west of division 2,
and division 4, comprising the tenth and
eleventh districts, was in the northwest part
of the grounds. The artillery was sta
toned just inside the ring, and the cavalry
at the extreme west side OF the grounds.
The delegations from counties were very
negligent In reporting numbers In the
competition for the flag, as but four or five
Delaware county 12S, Madison coutny 1O3,
Decatur county 2lS, Jefferson county LOG
and Bartholomew county 677. Tippecanoe
county reported 1,047, but as the delegation
did not stand in line for inspection and to
be counted, 1t was thrown out OF the com
petition, leaving Bartholomew county
with the prize. Those awarding the
banner knew by hesrsay and observation
of number of other delegations-ior in
stance, Montgomery county with 1850, and
Hendricks with S00-which were as large as
the Bartholomew delegation, but as they
did not come up and report as per published
instructions, they will not be considered in
the award. The Mexican soldiers and the
soldiers of 1912 were organized together, but
no report as to numbers was available last
evening. The soldiers from other states
sailors and marines were rendezvoused to-
esther, and were to report to Cap. VIM. ID.
Keller, OF the 18th Pennsylvania.
