COIOred Infantry.
Charles E. Hart of c. E. Hart & Co.
returned this week from attending the
above reunion. We find in the Chicago
Inter-Ocean the following pertaining to
the event:
OFFICERS OF THE coLoRED TROOPS.
The triennial reunion of the officers of
the One Hundred and Ninth United States
Colored infantry began yesterday morning
at the Leland hotel and will remain in SEES
sion till this evening.
The veterans from far and near came in
yesterday morning, most of them accom-
panied by ladies and members of their fam
lilies, and this fact added greatly to the
success of yesterdays informal program,
which consisted, first of all, of good So
ciable campfire hour or two in the ladies'
parlor A good luncheon, a good dinner,
good supper, at proper intervals, inter-
spersed with sightseeing, trip to Lin
coin park, q view of Chicago's smoke
| clouds from the Auditorium tower, and in
the evening real old time camp fire,
euchre playing, story telling time of it in
| the parlor filled out the rest of the day
| and made the hours fly like minutes.
To-day there will be repetition of these
sociabilities. Everybody will be given an
| opportunity to become acquainted with
| everybody else again after three years.
| separation. In the evening business
meeting will be held for the purpose of
electing new officers and choosing the
camping ground for the next reunion three
years from now. Colonel o. A. Bartholo-
NEW is the presiding officer at present,
| and Captain G. w. Smith is the secretary.
As registered at the Leland yesterday
the party was as follows, though it bids
fair to be considerably augmented by to-
days arrivals: Colonel and Mrs.
| A. Bartholomew of Charlton Iowa;
Kent, Wilmington, Del; Captain and Mrs.
| Charles E. Hart, New Haven, Conn; Cap
| I in and Mrs. Isaac II. Turrell and son,
Cincinnati, Ohio; Captain M. H. Twitchell
and son, the captain being United States
consul at Kingston, Canada; Captain G. w.
Benball, Anderson, Ind; Captain and Mrs.
Byron A. Stevens and daughter of this
city; Captain and Mrs. John M. Schoon-
maker, Wallace, ILL.,; Captain and Mrs. G.
w. Smith and two daughters, Indianapo-
lis, Ind, and Captain A. L. Granger of
| Joliet, ILL.,, not an officer in the One Hun
dred and Ninth, but an old friend and fell
low staff officer of Captain Smith, whose
| guest he is on this occasion.
The above are not all the living officers
| of the One Hundred and Ninth Colored,
but they fairly represent in number and
| metal the makeup Of the men designated
| to command the colored troops at a time
when to assume such a duty meant far
more than the ordinary risks Of war. The
'black Aag' of the Confederates was out
for these men, which meant certain death
if captured, it being deemed capital Of
fence by the southern army to lead the col
ored men to battle against their late slave
