there will be upwards of 1000 ex-members

strangers. These must be accommodated
somewhere. Arrangements have been made
with the hotels in the city by which boart
will be furnished Al So pr day, and the Hal
lowell House to ace immediate so persons
1
hotels to ascertain how many they can receive
Augusta hotels can accommodate about 75(
and as there will be more visitors in the city
than can obtain lodgings at these, it will b.
seen that there will be an extended demand
on the hospitality of our citizens during re-
union week. Accordingly private boarding
houses and those who can entertain person.
at that time are requested to communicate
with Hon. j. Manchester Haynes of the ex
ecutive committee. The talk in opposition tC
holding the reunion in Augusta, favorine
Portland in its stead. does not trouble the
committee much. At the preliminary meet
ing all who wished had an opportunity to be
present and advocate their choice, yet theil
was only one voice raised against Augusta
OF the several hundred letters which have
been received by Mr.. Atwood, but four pre-
fer any other place to Augusta. Those at
tending will be expected to bear their owl
expenses The committee will adjourn to ds,
to meet again next week. Mr.. Strickland
