The Reunion.

At the third meeting of citizens in the in
terest OF the Union Reunion, held in Court
room No. .. Tuesday evening, it was stat
ed that the members Of the 18th and lO2d
regiments had already secured accommo-
dations at the hotels and boarding houses,
that the members of the l34th and l3Ith
would picnic at the Fair grounds during
the afternoon, and all would banquet in the
rink that evening.
Col. Sullivan, of the banquet committee,
said they had estimated that from five to
six hundred seats would be needed at the
banquet, AMI besides these. there would
be present 40 ladies. and the committee
men. and that as these would probably fill
the hall. the committee had passed reso-
luton prohibiting the admission OF any
others. and had decided to issue regimental
tickets to members of the different regi-
ments, also that the members of the 18th
and l02d would receive their tickets in
Sheriff Redic's office, those Of the 102d in
Treasurer Amos Seaton's Office, and those
Of the 18th in County Clerk Reuben Nc
Elvain's office: that subcommittee had
arranged for tables, chairs and kitchen fur
niture, another had arranged bill of fare,
another had arranged for the purchase OF
supplies, another for securing order in and
about the hall, and another had been ap-
pointed to assist the ladies; that invitations
had been sent to 140 ladies to meet, Tues
day evening, in the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms,
that the greater number of these had at
tended, that their eagerness and jealous
ness to make the banquet success was
inspiring, that the committee had arranged
the ladies in groups of seven, one group for
each of the twenty tables and that all had
acquiesced, and that it was foregone con-
clusion that the banquet would be per
feet success; that the banquet committee
would need about four hundred dollars
When the finance committee was called
upon for their report, Mr.. Stein said they
had not yet done anything but would meet
and organize and go to work as soon as
they aseertained how much money was
needed, then he referred to the fact that
almost everybody who subscribed literally
would expect tickets of admission to the
banquet and that some would not subscribe
unless they received such tickets.
This brought on general discussion of
the management of reunions, which was
participated in by Messrs. Clark, Black,
Heineman, Fleeger, Hazen, Goucher and
Sullivan, and though it ended in referring
the whole matter back to the banquet com
mittee, it seemed to be the general opin-
ion that no civilians whatever, excepting
those members of the banquet committee
actually necessary to assist the ladies' in
their work be admitted to the hall. No
arrangements were made for speeches in
the hall, and if the members of the regi-
ments present want speeches they will
have to call upon the orators of their regi-
ments.
The program committee reported that
they had done nothing, but would meet
the next day.
Mr. Eastman said that the 102d had Sc
meal, or one dollar day.
The decoration committee was reported
to be at work and was decorating the hall
in connection with the committee of the
Hose Co. and would divide the expense
with them; the transportation committee
would arrange for the hauling Of the aged
and crippled from the depots and for horses
for the regimental officers; the music CON-
mittee would need little money, and the
whole sum needed to make the reunion a
success would probably be $780,
on motion, the G.. A. R. post of Butler,
the Veteran Legion, the military company,
the Hose companies, and the boys of the
Orphans Home were invited to take part
in the procession, and were asked to be in
line by 10 o'clock.
The finance committee was authorized
to fill vacancies in the committee.
Gen. George W. Reed was unanimously
chosen chief marshal of the parade.
The selection of person to make the ad
dress OF welcome was left to the program
committee, to report at next meeting.
On motion, meeting was adjourned to
next Tuesday evening at same place
