Old Soldiers and Citizens in Carriages.
A number of G. A. r. posts, represented
in Camp Grant, failed to fall in as organi-
cations, the members present attaching
themselves to other posts. The display was
grand one, much better than was antici-
pated an hour before the march commenced.
At the time of starting it seemed that all
the citizens of the city were on the camp
grounds, but when the column arrived in
the city Kansas avenue on both sides was
lined with people, from Third street to Tenth
street. The four miles travelled was accom-
pliShed in a little over an hour. Returning TO
Camp Grant at noon, the different divisions
paraded the camp, marching and counter
marching, and finally broke up, and were
resolved into groups saying farewell, as in
deed it will be to many Of them.
THE SHAM BATTLE.
The sham battle in the afternoon was one
of the features of the day, and was wit
messed by $4,000 people. Only one acci-
dent occurred, and this at the close of the
battle. Walter Oliver, private, Company
D, Third Regiment, had loaded and cooked
his gun and brought it to order, when it ex-
ploded, the blank shell tearing all the flesh
off his arm and injuring him quite seri-
Ously.
GOODBYE.
At the last camp fire in the evening ad-
dresses were delivered by Congressman E.
Il. Funston, b. c. Perkins, Ex-Governor
George 7. Anthony and others, and after
general hand-shaking the great reunion Of
1885 was at close.
