 The veterans of the Seventh New York have invited the general and staff to partaks of lunch after review at Irving Hall, corner Fifteenth street and Irving Place. Colonel Winchester writes that they are to have the Hartford City Guard and veterans, the New Haven Grays and veterans, numbering, with the veterans of the Seventh, about seven hundred men. After passing review at Bowl ing Green the veterans with guests will em. bark on one of the Iron Steamboat compa- ny's boats at Pier and sail for Fourteenth street, East river, thus avoiding the great down town crush.
 It is expected that the Connecticut brigade will be furnished collation. immediately al the end of the parade at the new Produce Exchange building, where accommodations for 1000 of the visiting military who are obliged to leave on the early trains and boats will be made. Others will be fed at Madison Square Garden.
 The Second regiment will leave Sunday about midnight by the steamer Elm City, breakfast on boat and arrive in New York in time tc take their position in line, which will be on East 5Oth street. The remainder of the Con necticut corps occupy this street and East 18th.
 Tho Fourth regiment will go by rail, leaving Bridgeport about midnight, stopping to take on Norwalk, Bethel and Danbury companies.
 The Fifth battalion go all the way by rail, and from reports received it looks as though the companies will be the fullest of any in the brigade. If the Battery decide in favor of the trip they will proceed over the Con solidated road and arrive in New York in the morning, horses. cannons, caissons and all. They probably will go.
 Every company of the Third except Com pany has decided to make the trip, pro- vided the brigade went as 8 whole. Con- pany K has not been heard from, but as the First has voted not to go their vote would not be binding upon them. So it is not known positively whether the Third will go as a whole or not, but the Battery will surely be in line.
 The First regiment at last accounts was expected to be represented only by Company F. the City Guard of Hartford, but as the feeling is very strong throughout the State that the First should participate, thereby en abling Connecticut to be represented by her entire force, it is possible their unfavorable vote may be reconsidered. This regiment acquitted itself so nobly at Yorktown and Charleston that it is most earnestly hoped that it will not be found backward on this occasion where new laurels may be won.
 The Second Company Governors Foot Guard are going as part of the Second reg iment, making the eleventh company. After the parade it will be entertained by the Old G1o
