Chicago, Sept VETERANS who
have not already said good-by to Chi
cago were able to find plenty to keep
them busy Friday Excursions on the
Lake and drainage channel were on the
programme, Nough that down the
canal was made an informal affair at
the eleventh hour, and those who went
along the route did SO from a personal
desire rather than from official invi-
tation. So it happened that interest
centered in the trip to Milwaukee on
one of the lake excursion boats. The
hour of departure for the Wisconsin
metropolis was $50 o'clock. j Out in
the basin off the jackson park shore
the Chicago life saving crew gave a
public exhibition at ten. O'Clock, and a
throng was on hand along the prom
enade to cheer the exploits of the in
land tars. =.

Furry Over Expense Account.
The financial report for the year
that was read at the session of the en-
campment at the Studebaker late
Thursday afternoon caused furry.
It is said that there was deficit OF
$4,000. The treasury rs not empty,
though the report gave that impress
sion to some of the delegates, and they
were quick to talk of extravaganza
when the report sta ted that Past Com
mander in Chief Shaw had, expended
So, 500 in travelling. He denied that the
total was more than $1,7OO, and ex-
planned that Cornelius Vanderbilt and
ex-Gov. Flower, of New York, had be.
come interested in his crusade of edu-
cation to the extent of promising $10,.
600 apiece for the cause when both
suddenly died.
Denver was chosen as the place OF
encampment next year, but if one
cent rate is not granted by railroads
reunion features may be omitted.
