 ments.
 Captain Arnold, Colonel Morgan and Lieutenant Grannis, of the Grays, were in New York yesterday morning, and they prevailed upon the Seventh regiment to accept their invitation to accept their hospitality tomorrow, Thursday, morning. The regi- ment will arrive here at Il o'clock. A bountiful collation. will be served at the Union armory by Deibel, the caterer. Gen. eral s. R. Smith and staff, Colonel Graham, staff and field, and the line officers of the Second regiment and Governors Foot Guards will be invited to be present at the banquet, thus ignoring all disaffection that may ex- ist. The amount raised was $1, 100. This was chiefly among their own membership The programme for that portion of the af- ternoon between the banquet and the parade has not yet been agreed upon, but there is no doubt that the Seventh will have reason to remember with much pleasure their visit to the City of Films. The entire city battal- ion, together with the Foot Guards, will do es- cort duty to the Seventh. The route o march is up Elm street to York, to Chapel, to Woes ter Place, to Greene, to Olive, to State, to Trumbull, to Orange, to Bradley, to Whit ney avenue, to Sachem, to HilIhouse avenue, to Grove, to Whitney avenue, down Church to City Hall, where the visitors will be re- viewed by Mayor Lewis. Then to the Green, where the parade will be dismissed.
 The Seventh leaves New York at a. m to-day by special train for Hartford. They bring Grafulla's famous band aad will num- Der about 700 men.
 The New York Times says: ''Some indig nant mutterings went through the ranks of
 
 day or two ago that the four or five compa- nies of the Second Connecticut regiment in New Haven had invited the officers but not the rank and file of the Seventh to 8 banquet to be given on the 18th. The indignant privates were somewhat modified when they were informed that their officers, in decliuing the invitation of the New Haven militia, had ex- plained that it was the custom in the Seventh regiment to make no distinctions in social matters between officers and privates The Seventh regiment has been looking forward to visit to Connecticut for some time. It will leave here early tomorrow morning and proceed to Hartford, where it will participate in the celebration in honor of the unveiling of the Buckingham statue. On the return trip it will stop in New Ha- ven for 8 few hours, and parade through the principal streets there. The members of the State militia in New Haven desired to extend some courtesies to the wis., itiRg regiment, and therefore proposed to get up dinner for the officers of the Seventh probably not feeling equal to the task of en- tertaining the entire body of,6OO or 700 men," Prominent members of the Grays said last ] evening ia reference to the above, ''The ! matter has now been handsomely adjusted ! and the city will see 8 fine parade. The | Grays have given most Hberslly and the l extended by the Seventh, both to | the Second regiment as regiment and to the I veteran Grays on different occasions, will be ! we'll reciprocated.
