The grand reunion of old soldiers at
Leayenworth oil Friday last was u success
so far as members wero concerned, and
would have been one of the pleasantest Of
its kind ever held had 1t not been for the
rain. The city was filled with people as it
never was filled before, and the hospitable
people of that hospltable town never better
deserved the thanks Of their guests than
they did on this occasion. The speech
making was made the leading feature of the
day, on account of the impossibility of
parading or of other outdoor ceremonies.
An address of welcome was delivered by
Hon. ]. II. Gllpatrick, and by Col. r. T.
Van Horn, of Kansas City. And, by the
way, Kansas City sent fifteen hundred visi-
tors to the reunion. These addresses were
enthusiastically received, and were followed
by speeches by Gen. Wilbur. mayor of
Omaha and department commander G. A.
r. for Nebraska; Gov. Anthony and Gen.
yandervort. An original poem was read
by Mrs. J. NJ. D. Arnold. Birch Arnold"
after which the reunion,was brought to a
close on account Of the continued storm.
