Friendly. of Lafayette. A committee
representing the Grand Army posts of
Kings county, New York. composed of
Col. William I'll. Barker. Col. George A.

all the Grand Army Of the Republic
posts OF Kings county, asking him to
review the parade of G. a. X. veterans
on Memorial day next May, and accom-
pany the procession to the tomb OF Gen.
Grant at Riverside. Gen. Harrison in
formed the committee that while he
would be glad to participate with his
comrades on the occasion, it was
impossible for him at this early day
to make an engagement six months in
advance. The committee then asked
him to regard the invitation as stand
ing one, and requested him to keep it
in friendly remembrance, expressing
the hope that at later period he could
be prevailed upon to accept. Gen.
Harrison to-day received copy of
very finely executed steel-engraved
portrait Of himself. 1t was present
from Gen. James Grant Wilson. of New

members of his family think it is the
best likeness of him they have seen.

WAS A live SHEEP
