ANIMAL Reunion and banquet or the How
ifTcrS.

ANIMAL Reunion and Banquet or the How
iizers.
The +" Happy Howitzers are never
happier than when they gather at their
annual reunion and banquet.
Last night the " old vets" the young
company, and the invited guests assem-
bled at the Howitzers' Armory, and
after witnessing a drill of 1.-The
boys" which showed great pro-
fciency, marched to Sanger Hall,
where there was spread an elegant ban
quet, to which all present did the am
plest justice, amid a flow Of remi-
nisceDces from the old Howitzers of the
camp, the bivouac, the march, and the
battlefield.
Judge Henry W. Flournoy, of Wash
iDgton county (the accomplished Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth, now pre-
sident of the Howitzer Association,
presided with his usual grace.
The Secretary, Hon. j. Taylor Ely
son, read a letter from Governor Fitz-
hugh Lee expressing his regret that he
could not be present, and announced
that there were also letters from Secre-
tary of War Endicott and Hon. b. b.
Munford.
Mr.. Ellyson then announced, in their
order, the following toasts
1. The Army Of Northern Virginia:
And as with nod aud lau0h ye sip
The goblets rich earnf fOn.
Whose bursting bubbles seem TO tip
The wink of invitation,
Drink to those enames-glorious ma mes
Those names no time shall sever.
Drink draught as deep as Thames
Our friends and comrades ever.
Colonel John B. Cary.
2. The Dedd-Our Dead:
And how ca N man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes OF his fathers
And the temples OF his gods?
Rev. A. c. Bledsoe.
3. The Women Of he South \ toast which
! is its own sentiment
Hon. II. r. Pollard.
| 4. The Richmond HoiCitzers Of TO.Ddy:
| The living memorial OF the past the rally
| ing point OF the future.
Mr.. Isaac n. Jones.
The speeches were all we'll received
and heartily appiauded, abounding in
wit. humor, good hits, and fine pas
sages.
Mr.. Pollard closed his eloquent and
appropriate speech with the following
lines, which were enthusiastically re-
ceived:
| Bless our wives,
They NIL our hives
With little ones and honey;
They ease our shocks
And mend our socks,
| But how they spend the money!
And if we are sick
They cure us quick
That Is. ifthey love us;
And II we die,
! Yet they cry
And build tom mbstOnes above US.
After the regular toasts were over
there were calls for number OF others,
who responded in speeches which elicit
ed great applause and enthusiasm.
The whole affair, like the Howitzers
banquets generally, was a splendid sue
cess.
