THE SECOND DAY.
Program Spoiled by Heavy
DOwnpOur of Rain.

Shiloh, Tenn, April 6.-The
crowd which attended the reunion
at Shiloh to-day was not so large
as yesterday, the threatening
weather having kept some away.
There were some 1900 or 1900
on hand, however, to make re-
markable scene, beginning with II

The onl J accommodations on the

a barge also filled with passengers,
to be two hours on the way from
Savannah to the landing, a dis.
tance of eight miles.
The drenching rain drove all the
steamboat excursionists TO the
boats for shelter. Many others
also took refuge on the boats. Ev-
cry building was packed with hu-
mainly and yet there remained
hundreds of men and women who
could find no shelter at all. The
wharf, bluff and roads were soon
inches deep in mud.
The program for the day wat
practically abandoned, though in
the afternoon the crowd in Shiloh
church was highly entertained by
Col. 5. T. Lee, secretary of tn.
battlefield association; Maj. T.. l.
Stanley, of Arkansas; Col. CARR
CUES, of Indiana; and Charlie,
LoHin, of Padu cab.
1t soon became evident that this
crowd could not remain until thu
rain was over, and they went away
men and women on foot, on horse
back and in every known descrip
ton of vehicle. There were many
comical and pathetic sights, an(
