Howitzer Association and Battery Had a
Royal Good Time Yesterday.

The Richmond Howitzers' Association held
their usual anniversary celebration of the
formation of that valiant battery yesterday,
and again were reminicences of the days of
shot and shell brought 10 mind which have
been allowed 20 slumber for year past.
The present company of Howitzers paraded
Yesterday afternoon IN heavy marching order.
They We're commanded by Capt John H.
Hutchinson and Lieutenants Barrett and
Starke. The battery was headed by the
HOwitzers Band. and was followed by % gilt
tering cannon. a new acquisition Of this pop
ular organization.
The band rendered excellent music, while
the marching Of the battery was splendldly
done. The command paraded the principal
streets and returned to their armory on
Eighth street abOut o'clock.
At $50 o'clock the battery reassembled,
and headed by the members OF the AssOcla-
tiOn and the band marched TO Zimmermanns
parlors where a superb banquet was served.
Ii was one Of the finest affairs that has been
given in this city for many years and was SO
extensive that Mr. James L. Gray. chairman
of the banquet committee. on behalf of the
Association donated several courses that
were not served at all to the poor OF the
city.
After the viands and delicaees had been
discussed Mr.. Carlton Mccarthy. Mr.. J. Is.
Moore. Hon. j. Taylor Elyson and Hon.
George L. Christian made speeches in refer
ence TO the building of a monument to
the Howitzers who fought and died
in the late struggle. A circular was
distributed which stated that the whole
design can DO executed for SO 800; that the
treasurer has now in hand about $500 and
that $500 was pledged on former occasion.
but the pledges have been lost and the only
means of recovering lies IN the willingness Of
the subscribers 10 renew their pledges.
The gentlemen referred 10 above made
clear and concise statements as TO the object
Of the Memorial Association. which Is to per-
petuate in stone and bronze the deeds and
bravery of the Howltzers.
Contributions will be collected in a few
DAYS and il is very probable that in a few
weeks the whole amount necessary Will have
been subscribed.
Letters glowing in sentiment were read
from Colonel William III. Palmer. DR.. j. VII
liam Jones and Nr. James A. Gentry, OF the
State's staff.
