The society of War Veterans of the 7th Regiment,
many of whose members won Iaurels In the struggle
to preserve the Union, will have its sixth annual
union at Mazetti's next Tuesday evening This Or
ganization Is entirely distinct from the two societies
OF veterans composed OF men who have served their
time In the regiment. who have recently been engaged
In an unseemly contest The 7th Regiment furnished
more officers for active service in various commands
during the war than any other National Guard
ganizaton and Its proud of the record Those
who are entitled to attend these annual reunions meet
year after year with diminished numbers, and In
short time there win be left to attend them.
The survivors, their ranks grow thinner are drawn
more closely togethcr and It IS expected that all who
can do will be present at the dinner this year.
There is moro Joy in the 9th Regiment over tho
final selection OF pace for its arnors than has boon
eVinced by the mon of any other command whose
hearts had not been made sick by hope so long de-
ferrcd. The site IN West Fourteenth-St., between
Sixth and Seventh aves where the old armory Of the
22d Regiment is is an admirable onB, and when the
regiment is housed there at last in building erected
expressly for its accommodation there will be no moro
cause for grmbng in this hitherto much-dssatisfed
command. Tho ArmoTy Board has done wisely In
selecting armory site so far downtown. No more
should be placed in the upper part Of the city. Tho
Tompkins Market site, whero tho eth Regiment for
mery had its armory, and where the Goth Is now
stationed should be retained with enough ground
