old soldiers picnic, and after the pleas
ant week spent with US in camp their
going away will make vacuum hard to
fill. A large delegation from Stanton
Kenesaw, Logan and Bartlett posts of
Los Angeles and Godfrey of Pasadena,
accompanied by ladies from the Relief
corps and the Veteran Drum corps. came
down this morning to spend the national
holiday with their comrades already
here at the beach. A collation. was
served to the veterans who had spent the
week with US in the grove in which they
had camped before their departure to-
day, and right good, jolly time was
spent during its continuance. The vet
erans are loud in their praises of the
kindness and hospitality extended to
them by the citizens of Long Beach, and
to Mrs. L. M John, the lady to whose eff
forts we are indebted for having the vet
Grams picnic at this place, their appreci-
alton was expressed in the presentation
to her Of valuable memento of their
visit bought from funds contributed by
the soldiers and ladies' OF the w. R. c.. 3
who had spent the week here. Comrade
William Birkle of Pasadena being the
medium through which the funds were
collected.
The afternoon exercises began at 2
o'clock, and promptly at the hour large
and appreciative audience listened to
the speeches and Joined heartily in the
good, old songs sung. A special train
this evening will carry them back to the
city, with. we hope, pleasant memories
