AT THE VETERANS, MEETING.

Preparations Already Made For the
 Encampment Next Summer-The
 Military at the Worlds Fair.
 At the Saturday evening meeting of Ad- miral Foote post General A. H. Embler and Colonel W. E. Morgan reported that they had visited Washington, D. O., and had made arrangements for the visit there of the Grand Army veterans during the annual encampment of the G. A. R. next summer. The members of Admiral Foote post and also the entire delegation from Connecticut will be located in very desira- ble quarters.
 This announcement was received with evident satisfaction by the members of the post, who appreciate the arrangements that have been made so long in advance of the encampment.
 It was announced during the evening that Assistant Adjutant- General George M. White, who is seriously i'll at his home on Prince street, is somewhat improved, and it is now believed that he will ulti-
 mately recover. This news was received
 with great pleasure, as Colonel Whites
 sickness has been deplored by the veter- ans.
 General Embler, who had inst returned | from Chicago, where he had attended the | convention of the National Guard of the 1 United States, brought news of the con- F vention The general stated that the con- vention was grand success, every state and territory in the union that has an or ganized militia, except New York, having l a representative present. The convent tion l decided to hold two weeks encampment | during the progress of the worlds fair in | 1893 and it is expected that fully 100, ,000 men will attend. If straws show which
 way the wind blows, this may be regarded
 as an indication that the Connecticut bri- gade will attend the worlds fair.
 General Embler told those present that l while in Chicago he visited the site of the | fair and was much surprised to find the work on the exposition buildings so far l advanced. Several of the buildings are
 we'll under way and will be covered soon. 1 Several of the New Haven veterans have
