their hats, and also occasionally blending
their voices with the cheers of the crowd.
Following the veterans came the Sons of
Veterans in their various Divisions. Ilii-

The last Encampment authorized the print

year, for want of funds. Upon consultation
with the Qnartermaster- General, it was deemed

credit of the Order. The estimated cost Of

Reports by Commander-ip-C Chief Russell

At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon Wednesday
the Encampment was called to order. Com
mander-in-Chief Russell read his annual re-
port, which was as follows:
One year ago ia Knoxville you placed me in
command of this great patriotic Order. and
now in Louisville meet you to give back into
your charge the high office with which you
have hono ored me. with thu hope that you may
End no trust betrayed, no confidence violated.
The results of the labors of the year are not
entirely satisfactory to me- and cannot, there
fore. hope TO end them SO to you; but arduous
as have been the duties. and sorey depressed as
have been the financial conditions your Com
maDder has earnestly endeavored to do his
whole duty to the Order to the best Of his
ability. with what success you are TO judge.
