THE GRAND ENCAMPMENT.

The 2oth Grand Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic held at San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 5, 1886, will be day long to be remembered by all who had the good fortune 70 be present either as participants or spectators. It was an occasion long and anxiously looked forward to, and for which the most elaborate prepara- tions had been made. The work performed by the different committees who had this celebration in charge was simply prodigious. It not only took in the details at SaE Francisco, but ramified throughout every section of the United States. It is i'm possible to convey even an idea of the magni6cence of the display on that memorable day. No city in the Union was ever so thoroughly decor ated with flags, banners, mottos, em- blems and triumphal arches. It Is estimated that over 4o,ooo veterans marched in procession, 100, 900 strangers entered the city's gates, and 300, 900 enthusiastic citizens cheerel the gallant defenders.
 In the evening the most gorgeou fireworks Illuminated the city, while the procession marched to the Pavi. lion, escorted by the fImbeau bri- gades, dressed in red, carrying torches, and constantly setting off rockets, roman candles and bombs, which they took from wagons accom- panying them, loaded down with pyrotechnlcs. A mist which hung over the city only added by rea.c ton to the splendor and mAgnii1ence of the spectacle.
 At the Pavilion, on Market street, which was filled to repletion, the formal welcome was given to visiting comrades by Gen. Barnes, chairman of the reception committee, and to all the guests, by Gen. Stoneman, gover- nor of California. These were fol- lowed by speeches from visiting com rades, among whom were Gems. Sherman and Logan. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the evening, ladies waved their handker- chiefs and the men cheered until they were hoarse. The great audience finally dispersed. singing the anthem "America".
 This ended the inauguration of Calliornia's reception of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be follow for week longer by balls, dinners, picnics and innumerable excursions to to various portions of the state.
