Capt. Armstrong; Crowd Estimates
Captain w. H. Armstrong, chairman of
the reception committee said last night
that about 1900 delegates had already ar
rived. This only includes those who are
officially connected with the encampment
He said that from all indications he ex-
pected large crowds here to-day, perhaps
five thousand 1t has been the experience
in past years that the main crowds did not
arrive until the encampment was well un-
der way This was true at the G.. A r.
Encampment at Louisville. where the
greatest attendance was on the day of the
parade. Much satisfaction has been ex-
pressed al the arrangements that have been
made for the entertainment of the delegates
and everybody seems 10 be having a good
time. The Indiana delegation has refrained
from taxing any part in the contests with
regard to the election of commander-n-
chlef and the next encampment, feeling
main neutral hosts of the encampment
The opinion was expressed last night that
the present encampment will be one of the
best in the history of the order both In at
tendance and results accomplished.
