THE FIRST DIVISION
had sos men III line, and showed some of the
best marching of the day. The gun squad of
Post IL attracted considerable attention, al
though the Grand Army men did not look upon
the carrying of muskets and side arms with
great favor in face of orders to the contrary.

a notable feature. At the head of Post 3
the flag under which General Alexander Hays
fell at the Wilderness was carried. 1t has
white field, bearing the blue trefoil of the
Second Corps, and is in an excellent state of
preservation. Mrs. Hays owns the flag, and

husband parades, she brings out the flag that
was his cover in death The first division
