"W. A. L." Cleveland, O., sends US the fol-
lowing items: The evening of the 9th nit.
was one long to be remembered by the mem
bers of Memorial Post, No. Ia, and their friends,
Of this city, the occasion being compliment
tary musical and literary entertainment given
at Case Hall in honor Of the Ladies Auxiliary
Society presenting a very elegant stand of
colors to the Post. Mrs. E. A. Clark on behalf
Of the ladies, presented the colors in very
pleasant manner. Commander J. n. Frazer
received them and responded in few we'll
chosen remarks, after which the balance of the
evening was very agreeably spent in listening
TO songs by the Arion Quartette Club recita-
tons and personal "reminiscences of war times.
The hall, seating some I,500, was well filled,
and all seemed to enter into the spirit of
the occasion.
Our Post is in most prosperous condition
and numbers about $50 active members and
increases at every meeting. Since our Post
organized, about two years ago. which started
the revival in this city, the missionary work
of Memorial Post has been instrumental in
organizing four other Posts here. The
TRIBUNE is deserving of much praise for
the persevering ability displayed in keep
ing the spirit of a united front against
ali opponents of a soldiers interest. In adyo-
eating the Grand Army you are striking the
keynote every time, and hope and trust that
the day is not far distant when every ex-soldier
or sailor having an honorable discharge can
wear the Grand Army badge.
