was celebrated by Campfire at Odd Fellows
HAL. The members of the Post were all on
name, accompanied by their wives and children,
all bent on enjoying the unique experience of
o soldiers Campfire. Caterer John Lehman
had charge of the commissary department.
Two large tables stretched the length of the
banquet hall, and ON these the messes of pork
and beans were served up in tin plates after
the regular army style, and the ereamless coffee
in the familiar old tin cup was there. The
ladies and children did justice to the novel fare
amid expressions of wonder and amazement.
The hard-tack tried the teeth of not few, but
the old men We're able to gum it after giving it
thorough soaking in the black coffee.
Luckily, Captain Jack and number of COM
rades conducted successful foraging expedi-
ton on Lehman's ice cream establishment, and
that delicacy was sent around to wind up the
meal. After this part of the programme was
over, the assemblage INDUCED in social chat,

daughters and sons and make it an affair long
to be remembered. Among the events of the
evening was Captain Beylands reading of
Wounded and Mustered Out, +" and last, but by
no means least Comrade Ashworth's inimit-
able song of "Catharina." The assembled
guests and comrades dispersed at late hour
