Reunion of Co. "A I"

Nineteen of the seyenty-three sur
yivors of Company A of the 18th Wis
consin Infantry met in this city yes
terday and to-day, and by song and
story and the association OF kindred
minds, lived over again the heroic
days of old.
1t was the second reunion Of the
company, and it is planned that long
series OF annual reunions shall follow
this successful session. In addition
to the members of the com pany many
old soldiers joined in the events of the
two days, and goodfellowship and
soldierly cheer has prevailed through
out. Last evening camp fire and
banquet was given the company at
the Odd Fellows Hall by the ladies Of
the w. r. G. Toasts, singing and
several selections by the Amateur
Band, who came up in uniform TO pay
their respects to the organization,
distinguished the gathering, and made
the evening banner night among
our soldier reunions.
This morning the meeting was called
to order by President @. L. Meachani
OF Prescott. Prayer was offered BY
Harvey Law of New Richmond and
the minutes of the last meeting were
read by the secretary. 1t was report
cd that three comrades had died
during the year. The expenses Of the
year were reported as seven dollars,
which was for printing and postage.
/ The election of officers resulted in the
selection of the same gentlemen who
held Office for the past year, namely:
Q. Il. Meacham for President and
Harvey Law for rotary and
Treasurer. 1t was voted that the
next meeting be held in this city at a
date TO be named by the officers.
The following members OF the
company were in attendance:

Normal Jottings.

Miss Gillian, the new instructor IN
Latin ana German, is favorably spok-
en- of by the students of her classes.
New students are arriving daily and
the probabilities are that the school
in all its departments will soon be up
to its maximum attendance.
The enrolment in the Normal is
about 10. Tue Preparatory school
has a good representation and the
Model grades arc as full as usual.
Some of the Faculty have spoken in
glowing terms concerning the quality
of work that is being done. 1t seems
that the students as body are strong,
and sensible to all the advantages Of
the school.
Miss Pardee is again at her post in
the drawing room. She is enthusi-
astic over her European tour and the
students will geJ some Of the benefit
of her visits to the great Eastern art
galleries. BY the way Miss Shultes
got the duke" and is on her way
home with (pronoun omitted now.
The. absence of the Badger staff APP
pointed last spring for this school
year has caused the Literary Society
not a little annoyance. There is not
capable student in the school who is
willing TO assume the responsibilities
of editor. Just what will be done
with the journal is impossible to state
at this writing but it looks as though
the Society will have to patronize the
undertaken.
The Sub-Primary under the super
vision of Miss Peckham is attracting
its merited share of attention. This
auxiliary is an innovation here and it
must be tested in the crucible of eX-
perience before any definite conclu-
sions can be drawn relative to its
specific value. The young ladies who
ARE taking special work in this depart
mcnt are Miss Grace Lusk, Miss
Baragcr, Miss Cymbra Daniels, Miss
Miriam Powell, and Miss Ring.
! The n. A. G. held special meeting
Monday and decided to organize
foot ball team. John III. Andrews
was chosen manager and Chas. Purves
captain. We understand however,
that Mr.. Puryes does not wish to as
sumo the responsibilities thrust up
on him The school has not suitable
material from which to select strong
team. The majority of the men are
light, with but little or no knowledge
of the game. If good team is among
the possibilities by all means let us
have it if for nothing more than local
sport.
The n. L. S. met in special session
the 8th inst. and elected officers as fol-
lows: Pres, G w. SwartZ; Vice Pres,
Sever Saby; Sec'y, Miss Ethel Grant;
Fin. Sec'y, Miss Eleanor Burnett;
Treas, ]. II. Andrews; Serg't., Albert
harrington; Usher, G.. A. Works:
Board Of Councillors, End Mem Der
Miss Sadie McNally, Sd Mem ber-Miss
Iva Cliffe; Trustees Arthur Gunnlson
and Miss Cora Chapman. The first |
regular meeting of the Society will be |
held Friday evening The program |
promises much, as Alfred Tennyson is
the nucleus around which the even
ing's entertainment centers. Prof. |
Brier will give a talk on Tennyson's |
place among the literary men of the
world. Every one interested in the
welfare Of the Society IS invited.

The success Of Ye Olde Folkes
Concerto has re-awakcnsd interest in
she idea Of repeating the opera
Queen Esther, which created so much
enthusiasm two years ago. Every
body would be glad to hear the opera
again, the only drawbacks to the plan
OF reproducing it being the expense,
together with the time and pains
necessary to perfect so large company
of performers. To put on the piece
exactly as it was first staged would Of
course be impossible: many OF the
singers are no longer in town and
others find it impracticable to under
take the parts. There would seem TO be
plenty of material in town for all the
roles, however, and once the enthus-
iasm reaches such pitch as character
lied the performances of two years ago
it can easily be carried TO a fine
finish. With the unusual success of
the first entertainments as an in
centive, and the willingness OF Mr..
Thayer TO assume the direction Of the
opera, it would seem that such an
enthusiasm ought easily to be aroused.

The Camp Fire.

The Camp Fire given last I ursday
evening by Trinity Guild on Chin
nock's hillside was every bit as enjoy
able as people had anticipated, and
anticipation ran high. The evening,
though following hot day, was quite
cool and agreeable, and the moon made
the hillside charming to the eyes and
safe to the many / stening feet. Tents
were provided for a camp store-room
and a gipsy's booth. and supper was
served at small tables on the green.
A big bonfire added color to the scene,
while the frequent coming of carri-
ages. the regular trips of the side-seat
and the moving about of prettily
gowned women, made the place wholly
enjoyable. The members Of the Guild
were busily engaged in entertaining
the visitors. and in the end laid by. a
snug sum for the purposes OF the club
and the church.
