where the exercises were held. Each
dedication was attended only by the sur
vivors of the commands.
No system was observed and each
regiment went its own way. Four or
five would be scheduled for the same
hour and there was but little satisfac-
ton to anone in the manner things were
conducted.
Regimental Memorials.
TO describe the exercises at each me-
mortal would he an extremely difficult

Attorney General nj. S. Kirkpatrick be-
ing the orator.
The matter of accommodation of yisi-
tors has been rather poorly managed,
and much dissatisfaction is expressed at
the failure to have texts sent here from
the Harrisburg arsenal to accommodate
the overflow.
Adjourned to the Court House.
When the rain began falling many of
the reglmental associations adjourned
to the court house and held their exer-
cises there.
The battlefield committee held meet
ing and approved the designs for the
monuments of the Fifty-se~en and
Ninety-sixth regiments.
Should the storm continue today it
will recessitate the abandonment Of the
immense parade and the exercises will
take place in the rink. The wind is
shifting, however, and it is thought that
it may be pleasant. The crowd of
strangers<in town is immense, probably
20 600, and 5000 more are expected
today.
Governor Beaver held q reception at
the Springs hotel last night. The recep-
ton was followed by a ball, at which
all of the officers were in full dress.
The scene was q very brilliant one.
