The evening times., 1899-09-11

Tylers from all parts of the country will
begin arriving in Washington this evening
to attend the Fourth General American
Tyler Reunion at Wizards Hotel tomor-
row. 1t is expected that two or three hun
dred will be present Lyon G. Tyler, Pres
ident of William and Marys College, is
president of the association, and will pre-
side at the meeting. w. |. Tyler Brigham,
of Chicago, is secretary and historian of
the association, and has spent several years
in gathering records of the Tyler family,
and is aptly called the handspring" of the
association.
Mr.. Brigham arrived in Washington sew
eral days ago, and has been actively at
work getting ready for the meeting. He
said this morning: 1--WE expect about 300
members of the Tyler family present and
an unusually large number from the South
and West. Previous to this time the fam
lily meetings have been held in the North
east, and the impression is abroad that
there is a difference between the Northern
and Southern Tylers but that is a mistake.
There is no division in the family, but this
is the first time the reunion has been held
south Of the Mason and Dixon line, and for
that reason we expect an unusually large
attendance"

programme, which will be carried out as
