the round Of parades, receptions reunions and per
sonal meetings with which the week II tho twenty
sixth annual encampment was crowded. All agree
IL the most wonderful veteran reunion ever
held and that no such grand gathering Of the men
who participated in the peIs Of sdl to 1865 is again
possible The immepsc number OF old soldiers present
can be best ctned when 1t is remembered that the
double column Of veterans forming tho grand parade

York. None Of his successors will ever have such
nm opportunity ms came 10 him. Commander In Chief
Wcsscrt, OF Wisconsin. has now assumed tic chief
0rco Of the order. From his nrmy record and past
achievements Il cannot be doubted that he will
his honors worthily.
