The twenty-frst reunion of the Seventh
egiment G. Y. was held yesterday at
,avin Rock and proved rousing success.
Nearly one hundred and fifty of the mem

heir wives. Major Hicks was chosen
chairman of the meeting, which was open
ID by prayer from the chaplain, Rev. DR..
q. L. Wayland of Philadelphia. The re-
port of the secretary, T. Norton, was read
and approved. A number of letters were
read from the Sixth G. v. regarding the
recent brigade encampment at Boston and
also of regrets from absent members who
could not be present with them. The
treasurer's report was also satisfactory,
with balance, after all expenses, in the
treasury.
The following officers were elected to
serve for the next year: President, Cap
tain V. B. Chamberlain; first vice-press-
dent Chaplain n. L. Wayland; second
tary, Y. L. Norton; treasurer, E. E. Peck. |
The reunion next year will be held in
New Britain, the Stanley post of that |
place having invited them. Chaplain Way |
land, who is brother of Dean Wayland of |
the Yale law school, made beautiful ad- |
dress. He expressed his pleasure in meet
ing with his old comrades once more.
There was never, he said, a war more just |
than the late one, and never better army,
than the Seventh. He rejoiced that they
were filing positions of honor and respect
in the community. He referred to the
great military and philanthropic
problems that were marked out
in the department of the south
He hoped that the blessings of God would
shower upon his comrades for the coming
year. The comrades were right glad to
see their old chaplain and his presence and
remarks added much to the satisfaction of
the occasion The last time he attended
reunion of the command was on "Battle
Flag day."

A brief speech was made by President
| Elect V. B. Chamberlain of New Britain.
Comrades, he said, it gives me great joy to
meet with you all again, and it gives me
| great pleasure also to speak of our be-
| loved chaplain, whom we all love. I re-
| call his devotion at James Island, where I
| saw him coming back from the skirmish
| line, bringing back the thought that
he had ministered to the dying in the
front. We have good friend here from
| the Fourteenth G. ", our commissioner at
Washington. want every member of the
| old Seventh to remember his brave deeds
on the field and be as good citizens as they
were soldiers.
Remarks were made by Comrade Charles
Lyman of the Fourteenth CIV, eulogizing
the deeds of the old Seventh as we'll as
those of the Fourteenth with its record of
| battles fought and loss in numbers equal
| to that of any regiment in the field. His
closing remarks on the countrys prosper
ity, much of it due to the citizen soldier,
| were forcible.
