GEN. TERRY 8 REMARKS,
cordial and courteous welcome was accord
ed the visitors. The serenade was delightful
mall respects, being tribute to Gen. Terry
from the Seventh infantry, and one which he
acknowledged most feelingly and with sincere
expressions of appreciation. During
the serenade, while the lingering sounds
of sweet music were being dispelled,
to be renewed by another selection, Gen. Terry
took occasion to return thanks in a neat and
appropriate speech. In the course of his re.
marks, he said that much of pride and many
"reminiscences of his military life were assiciat.
ed with the Number Z. The first regiment he
had commanded, was the Seventh Connecticut
volunteers, and in thus calling to the
front recollections of the war, he would be ex.
cused an old soldiers egotism in intim ating
that he thought the Seventh Connecticut regi-
ment the best he saw during the war in the
volunteer service. Then the general made some
remarks in which, reasoning from analogy,
coupled with the Seventh regulars, which created
immense satisfaction among his auditors This
was made laughingly manifest when the general
quoted
There's luck in odd numbers,
Says Rory O'More.''
