Nesday. Oct. 10, and was one Of the
most interesting meetings held since
the organization. The weather was
very propitious. and after so many days
of rain, was one to be enjoyed. The
comrades from abroad arrived by the
different morning trains. and the hours
nntil noon were spent very pleasantly
In visiting and hand shaking. story
telling, &c. The attendance, although
not quite as large as last year, was none
the less enjoyable. for many faces wer'
present, boys who had not met sine
the days of being mustered out, soma
twenty odd years ago and more.
At o'clock the meeting was cailet
10 order and all repaired to Marvin
Restaurant, where all sat down to on
of Marvin's best dinners, to which al
did ample justice.
After dinner they all returned to tn
Hall and were again called to order
and much business was transacted

Ahe best, and it was decided to hold tn,

given by Comrade Purdy, and it wa
decided to have the same published in
.panphlet form, for which collection
0fSl from each member was taken

in needy circumstances, collection
was taken up in his behalf, which
proved very satisfactory.
Comrade Goodsell and wife, of Min
nesota, also Com mrade Fisher, of thu
same State, were present.
