ders relating to the encampment.
All lines in the South have made

THE OFFICIAL BADGES
Oh the twenty-ninth encampment are
made from blended metal from two
cannon given the citizens committee
Oh Louisville by act of congress. Both
OF these cannon were in actual SER
vice during the late war, one with the
Union and one with the Confederate
forces. The official souvenirs are made
OF the same metal, and each
souvenir will be packed in a separate
box and sealed with the official seal
of the committee, All other badges Of
fered are fraudulent.
from reports received at headuuar-
tiers the annual parade promises to
equal If not eclipse those of previous
encampments. No other organizations
except veterans of the war and bands
will be allowed in the parade. De-
partment commanders in forming their
columns are to bear this in mind.
headquarters of the commander-in-
chief will open at the Gait house in
Louisville on Sept. Z. The Minnesota
headquarters will be located in the
same hotel, and the st. Paul delega-
ton will also have quarters there
Ample arrangements have been made
for carriages, ambulances and other
conveyanceS for the use of disabled
comrades entitled to a place in the
parade. Applications for these should
be made before Sept 10 to Comrade C.
G. Hoef1ing, of Louisville, KY.
Posts desiring free quarters are
urged to forward their requests not
later than Aug. 10 to their respective
assistant adjutant general, who will
forward them as quickly as possible
The length of the march, by actual
measurement, for the parade at Louis
vile, is two miles and a quarter, over
smooth and paved streets. In consid-
Grafton of this short line the command
er-in-chief hopes that every comrade
who is present will be in line and not
on the sidewalks watching the parade
go by. The reviewing stand of the
commander-in-chief will be on the
north side of Jefferson street in front
of the court house and will be marked
and easily distinguishable by the buff
guidon of the headquarters.
1t is now believed that the coming
encampment, which is the first ever
held on Southern soil, will be one of
the most magnificent events in the his
tory of the order. All preparations
have been completed by the citizens of
Louisville and all who go will find
a royal welcome awaiting them where
once they stood as foes in the years
long ago.
