residence early in the evening from his
/ last reception at the park he was some
what surprised TO find two hundred vster-
ans drawn up in line standing in his front
yard. They were survivors of the Second
/ and Ninth Indiana Cavalry and the
/ Twenty sixth Indiana Infantry. On the
steps Of his residence stood Colonel John
/ A. Bridgeland, Ire old commander of the
! Second Cavalry. As General Harrison
entered the yard the veterans opened
ranks and saluted, and Colonel Bridgelaud
commanded halt until he could address
| him on the part of the visitors who in the
meantime closed up around the General.
