CAVALRY REUNION.
Hanover Troop Association Leads the
Way for 10.

The members Of the Hanover Troop As
sociation are very enthusiastic over the
proposed cavalry parade here at the IN
yelling Of the Lee monument, which IS ex-
pected 10 take place in November.
Mr.. Luther II. Vaughan. OF Vaughan a
Sarvey. SAYS his old troop VIII use ther
best efforts 20 get all the veteran Contede,;;
rate cayalrymen here at that time, and VIII
trv TO have General Wade Hampton and
General Thomas J.. Rosser TO head the pa
rade. These old officers will beimmediately
communicated with.
WHAT Is PROPOSED.
Il is proposed 20 have the parade in the
dov. with the veterans III the front TO be
followed by the volunteer cavalry com
pauies. At night IL is wished 70 have big
BANQUET in some convenient hall
Not ONLY will the old cavalrymen from
virginia be asked TO come. bat those from
all over the South will be invited. As
General Lees statue does not belong TO the
CITY or state. but 10 the whole South, so
a broad invitation will be sent out.
CAN TAKE CARE or THEIR COMRADES.
Gentlemen who have spoken Of the mat
ter do not think there IS any doubt they
can take care of their old comrades and
find quarters for the horses they brlnS
mere.
II has been suggested that the Exposi-
tion-Grounds might be used as quarters
for some of the veterans.
INFANTRY AND ARTILLERY.
Now that the Hanover Troop has deter
mined TO have reiniOn and parade OF the
cavalrymen, they are dcsirOus that the IN
fantrv and artillery men may also be urged
10 come IN as large numbers as possible
and make the occasion a memorable one
i'm the history Of Richmond and the South.
In anticipation of the unyeiling of the
monument in November the Troop Asso-
citation has concluded TO abandon their
annual reuniOn. and have set on foot the
plan for the cavalry parade and banquet
here.
THE HANOVER TROOP.
This old troop now numbers about
Twenty-Five members This command was
formed before the war, with the late Cen
eral W. G. Wickham as captain.
They used TO meet at stated times and
play soldier. and were noted for their fine
horses and trim uniforms. Frequent ban
uuets and other entertainments were gwen
M Ashland (then Slash Cottage) and Hano-
yer Courthouse, and greatly did they enjoy
the occasions.
When the war came on the Hanover
Troop was one OF the first cavalry organi-
cations mustered out. and their gallant
service to the COnfederacy Is a matter OF
history.
THE ASSOCIATION.
At the close Of the war they formed the
Hanover Troop Association, with General
Wickhaln as president.
They have met annually at Ashland Park
TO talk over the past and tell war stories,
and the Usual reunion is only postponed
this wear to November. when the Troop
hope 10 meet with their old cOmrades-in-
arms from all over the South.
THE GOVERNOR.
Il is understood that Governor Lee has
been consulted about the proposed parade,
and has expressed himself heartily in its
favor.
